Lost about 7.5BTC in various altcoins when the coinex.pw was robbed by their owners, back in March 2014.
Since then, never kept any bigger amount of BTC at any exchange for longer than few hours.
Managed to avoid losses on Mintpal/Moolah scam thanks to that lesson.

Damn that was a lot of money... Thats why im not sure about joining Bit-x even tho they got better rates now.. because you get paid in the exchange, and who knows what happen, maybe you didn't cash out in time. And as far as I know the more frequently you withdraw the worse it is for you because they apply withdraw fee.

not losses as such but would have made extra 10k+ if i held onto key btcd and some other alts a bit longer and sold at the right time

But still it is better than losing BTC. Any profit gained is good, even if it's a small amount. One of the principles that the Chinese follow, that's why most of the business tycoons in my country are Chinese.

Haven't lose. Instead of gambling i will save it or invest it so that i can earn a profit even if the profit is small.

Discuss how much you have lost and how.


I lost about 0.2 back in the day when I still invested in alts.. namely with Mazacoin, I bought at the god damn top and haven't bothered buying alts again.

I have lost +15 btc on primedice, but I am continuing gamble because I want to restore my loss.

You should exit "right now" from the gamble world all you will los more bitcoin, this is sure! Search another way to spend your free time, the gambling is not the right thing. I have seen a lot of people (with their families) ruined due the gambling, the free money doesn't exist ... remember it!

If you gamble, then you should make sure that you don't get addicted to it. In your case it seems that you have now become addicted to it. You are trying to recover your loses, which in all probability will land you in even more deeper debt. Stop this, or you'll be ruined.

This makes me sad when i think of it but it is good to revisit something where you clearly had a problem to do what you done, in my case i lost over 5btc gambling in a week! I have been scammed at least 1 btc and reinstalled a wallet with 2btc in without backing the wallet. So at the very least i have lost 8btc! Which to some might not be much but i don't even have that total anymore :/

Well imagine 40btc

Never chase losses. That money is gone and all you end up doing is increasing your losses over time. Good luck either way.

I got lucky when PB Mining went down as I was all ready in profit there and did not buy any new contracts after my initial purchase. I dod lose about 80 USD in BTC Trader and another 125 USD in bit mining company. Needless to say I don't cloudmine or invest any more. Things could have been worse but I am always cautious and never risk a lot in any one thing.

Haven't lost that much in BTC. Lost 0.02 in bitcoins because of gambling, but that's all that I can remember. In trading, I always profit (even though it's only a small gain, I still treat it as a gain, because why not?) from alts, especially those that I think were only pump and dump coins. The last pump and dump coin that I took part on was BlackCoin, and I must admit that I made a pretty good profit from it.
