Locating bitcoin from 2009
This sort of question comes up moderately often.
Bitcoin.stackexchange.com is a self-help Q&amp;A website and has never provided Bitcoin wallets or acted as a custodian of money or as a register of Bitcoin accounts. It has always been no more than a place where people like you and I can answer other people's questions.
You need to do one of the following:

Find a file named wallet.dat. Find or remember any password you might have used to protect the wallet.
Find a piece of paper where you wrote a &quot;private key&quot; - a string of letters and digits similar in length to E9873D79C6D87DC0FB6A5778633389F4453213303DA61F20BD67FC233AA33262.

Without something more definite than you wrote above, your $25 is lost forever.
