Topic: Day i have lost my 100 bitcoins - page 6. (Read 875 times)
This story is common where holders or bitcoin owners lose their bitcoin just because they lose access to it or they forget about it. It's a common story, and many stories like that exist. It's because when bitcoin has only a low value, it is being ignored by anyone, and yeah, they have bitcoins a lot but eventually forget about them, and suddenly, when the bitcoin price has a high value, they will suddenly remember that they have holdings or they own bitcoin, but mostly too late as they may forget their keys or throw the harddrive or USB that contains their wallet with their bitcoin in it. Thats what you called, regret will always be in the end. If at first you gave meaning and care to your assets, then maybe now you are a millionaire, but yeah, all things happen for a reason. Maybe millions are not meant for you, or you just get unlucky.
One day, a few years ago now, I had ~100 bitcoins on Old Usb Key.

One of the many bad stories about lost Bitcoins. There was once a thread here where exactly such stories were collected and an attempt was made to crystallize how many Bitcoins were "lost" as a result. Nevertheless, I hope that your long history in the crypto scene has allowed you to benefit from the constant bull run anyway and that the 100 Bitcoins were not your only ones.
I remembered that I had a Bitcoin wallet not long ago and I tried to find my USB key, without success.
Where have you been living all this while that you just remembered you've 100 Bitcoin... In a cave?
I think it's impossible to tell you to not feel bad about it, because we are talking about 7,000,000$ dollars. Anyway, you aren't the only one to face this harsh situation. There are some stories on the internet of another early investors who have also lost access to their wallets which were replenished of Bitcoins.
My doubt is, why some early investors were so careless over their coins back then? Didn't they believe Bitcoin have potential to become valuable like we see nowadays? Weren't they faithful adopters who were holding thinking on long term gains? What was their purpose by accumulating Bitcoin if it wasn't to store and keep it safely, then?

This is really tragic, it's a lot of money. Such an amount means that the owner of these coins will never have to work again.
A lot of attention and care are always necessary when a person decides to do self-custody, have backups of passwords and seeds in different hidden locations, preferably also informing trusted loved ones about this.

If you never had a backup to the recovery keys to your wallet bitcoin, you may lose them completely, if you're using a hardware wallet and lost the device or it got damage, that also is another risk, i wont blame some of the early investors like you since then, because no one ever expect bitcoin to have achieved this far, still yet, some people are very good at keeping things, even if they never realized the value, they are just good at making archive, as them about something of 20+ years and they will bring it out for you, we should also take good care of our private keys, they are the access to the financial asset we possess, remember not your keys, not your coins.
Hello 
One day, a few years ago now, I had ~100 bitcoins on Old Usb Key.
I didn't remember having them, as I'd had them at the very beginning. This USB key was lying around in a drawer, as I imagine a lot of people have

This story makes me sad, because if I'd known, I'd have been more careful!
