When a user has a large amount of money, he forgets about a small amount of money and loses his access. I think you may have invested this coin at a time when you may not have been careful enough to store your wallet keys in a safe place. Although you may have seen a hundred bitcoins in your wallet long ago, if you calculate its value today, your eyes will surely roll up your forehead. Because you have lost so much money you will definitely regret and if you get your keys back then maybe we can get your money back, but you didn't keep it in a safe place because of which it is very difficult to get your keys back. So I think that the mistake you made will be a history of your life so you should always be careful so that you don't make such a mistake any time in the future, rather you should keep your wallet keys carefully.

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?
Checking how old the Op account is, he might be saying the truth that he lost access to the wallet which he holds that large amount, because there are a lot of early holders who lost access to their wallet as a result of them not believing in it, and as such, they did not take full responsibility for the wallet. Some only started paying attention to the wallet after they discovered how valuable bitcoin has become and how much they will get if they recover the wallet.
op is very unlucky. even though he has 100 bitcoins, he cannot access his bitcoins. There is no greater regret than this. Yes given the age of the op's account his story seems true so I feel very sorry for him. My dream was and still is to own a whole 1 bitcoin but lost them even after owning 100 bitcoins. In case of Bitcoin if someone loses his wallet key he cannot access his wallet any other way.  So no doubt he lost all his bitcoins. so sad story

Yes, the current $6.5M for 100 Bitcoins is a huge amount.  This means that the op either didn't care much about his bitcoins or that the bitcoin value at the time he bought the bitcoins was so insignificant that he didn't think about its future. I believe op's story because op's account was registered on this forum in 2013. and until the end of 2017, the merit system was in the form of Airdrop, but at that time he was so lazy that he did not post that he used his account, so he is still in Member rank. so it is possible for him to lose the private key. It is a very sad incident
It is very rare for someone to accumulate that much bitcoin and then lose access to the assets they owned. My assumption is, if the story is true, maybe he bought bitcoin at a fairly low price, so he doesn't really care about the assets he owns. Even though he has been on this forum for a long time, it doesn't mean he has the opportunity to collect that much bitcoin. I've also been on this forum for a long time but I don't have as many assets as OP has.

Let's just say the story is true and I think the OP is quite a careless person because if he hadn't lost access to these assets, he would now be one of the new billionaires on the forum and in the real world. That is why it is important to keep a confidential key to the assets we own and this must be a consideration for anyone who must maintain the confidentiality of private keys.

very sad 100 btc just disappeared, aware of ownership but think btc has no value at all,
At least have a seed reserve other than BTC, such as an active wallet that can be used on a cellphone or PC to store the BTC

Hello Smiley

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 Smiley

Well I wonder what you thought bitcoin was that you could easily forget it for so many years and only remembering it now. Fact is that either your very rich, irresponsible stupid or just lieing, cause I believe that anyone would hardly leave his bitcoin for so many years with all the news and FOMO from bull to bull and different cash range and your mind never flashed back, well it would have been eevn better you never remembered.

We don't know whether we should believe your story or not, but the 100 bitcoins you hold will make you a billionaire now. It cannot be recovered if you do not have access to the USB so the bitcoins you have will be lost forever. My question is why did you just remember today that you have 100 bitcoins and whether it's a coincidence or not, I think you are quite a careless person. Even though people are desperately collecting bitcoins to save, you are wasting chance to become someone who has a lot of money now.

It is important to keep some private keys when people store bitcoins and your case is really surprising because 100 bitcoins is not cheap nowadays. It's quite a sad story because we have to lose a lot of bitcoin in conditions of quite significant increases even though we can make maximum profits at this time.

It is very sad to read your story.  Also, your issue is so important now that not having wallet security or not caring about wallet security is something you will regret later.  Your 100 bitcoins are currently worth millions of dollars while the security of bitcoins on the crime USB drive is not working well, much to your regret.  So preserving the security system of the wallet is very important thing that everyone should take seriously.

you are one of the richest people in the world, have assets of 100 bitcoins, do you keep very valuable things in a drawer, it is very strange in what year you started discovering bitcoin, so only now do you realize that your keys have been lost, are you kidding or is it just your hallucination?
It's better not to immediately think of it as a joke or hallucination, because it could be true so he tries to reveal it here to tell many people even though it is a very large number and some people may have never even had it. If he kept valuables in his drawers and the drawers were in a really safe place, I don't think any problems would arise. But things like this of course have to go back to the memory of the person who keeps them because it will be difficult for everyone to provide a solution if they themselves don't remember how the incident happened.

So sad, it is so painful to lose this amount of money because it is huge indeed. It is so easy for one to lose bitcoin when one is not handling it very careful. Everything that us concerned with bitcoin needs to be taking very serious because if any mistake should happen it can lead to lose of bitcoin. Some people if they no longer use a wallet they abandon it, after sometime when they have something to do with wallet they won't be able to get access to it because they thought it wasn't important and they thought they would never need it again.  Carefulness is very important in bitcoin because sometimes information that can make us to gain access to bitcoin can't be retrieved, when it is lose, it is lose forever which means money will be lose .

Security is protection is very crucial things for your success and just holding cannot give you profit if you hold longer but you forget all the keys through which you can get access to your holdings. If you failed to find that USB then you will not be able to get your bitcoin.

I think if you invest in something then you should learn well about the privacy and security as well as about the steps which are important for your success. You should keep your USB at a secure place because before investment it is important to learn that how expensive bitcoin is and how important is the keys so if you was familiar with bitcoin value and its importance then you would never leave USB like this no matter its old or new.

If you have ever literally lost a hundred bitcoins, you are the unluckiest person ever to come to this point. But you mentioned that you got free bitcoins but as far as I know no free bitcoins were given in any event maybe you were given some other coin instead of bitcoins which has no value in the market. But if you're sure it wasn't a coin other than Bitcoin, you'll have to believe it. But a few years ago when the price of Bitcoin was good enough if you receive 100 Bitcoins in your wallet why you are not aware of your wallet. Even at that time, since the value of Bitcoin was very high, if you were aware at that time, you might have kept your Bitcoin safe.

Is getting bitcoin through a faucet years ago considered free? And when it first launched, bitcoin had no value at all and as I heard, every time bitcoin was distributed, some people even received 5BTC each time. Furthermore, in 2009 and 2010, bitcoin was the only cryptocurrency in the world, so I don't think the OP couldn't distinguish whether it was bitcoin or altcoin.

OP is not the only person who lost bitcoins, and that 100 bitcoins is not the largest number ever lost. It seems like you're doubting the story but if you check his account he's been here since 2013 so it could be a true story.
In 2009 and 2010 the first bitcoins hit the market and maybe the OP is not talking about 2009 or 2010 he is talking about a few years back when he got 100 bitcoins for free and he lost those bitcoins. If the OP was talking about four or five years from now, I'd still say that the value and popularity of Bitcoin at that time was substantial, and that the chances of getting Bitcoin for free at that time were very low. But if the OP claims that he got 100 free bitcoins around 2009 or 2010 then we must believe it because that happened at that time and a lot of btc was given to accounts on certain sites. But maybe there is no point in regretting what he lost because if he regrets he might not get back his lost 100 btc he should have been careful and taken the matter seriously.

If I remember correctly, in 2013 bitcoin was worth hundreds of dollars so it was a myth that someone would get 100BTC for free. I think he's talking about 2009, 2010.

And I completely agree with you that many people spend too much time thinking about the past and feeling regretful about things that they will never have the chance to fix. Reminiscing and regretting only waste time and kill our will. Instead, see it as a lesson and find a way to fix it so we don't have to regret it later. Accumulating bitcoin from now on is the only way to correct all the past mistakes we have made.

10-12 years ago bitcoin had little or no value at all. That's why we've also heard so many stories about people throwing away their bitcoin, and having no way of getting it back as they know its value at this point. I bet if you owned that bitcoin 12 years ago you would have thrown it away or not cared about it the way the OP did. Because it doesn't have great value, and the future is unpredictable.

Even if you know about the value and potential of bitcoin now, I bet you won't be able to hold on to your bitcoin in the next 10 years. Don't be so quick to criticize those who lost bitcoin years ago when the value of bitcoin was nothing.

If you read you would have figured out what you are asking:

of course it's possible, when bitcoin appeared, it wasn't worth anything and so I disregarded it, I remembered it not so long ago when I moved and found some old stuff. sad reality.

I wish I hadn't remembered, today it haunts me.

When he left those Bitcoin in the drawer they were probably worth pennies. Let's say they were worth $0.15. 100 Bitcoins at that time equaled $15. Not bad for a beer but definitely something valuable as today they are worth $6.14M.

This is a real tragedy.

No not really. Everyone that owns bitcoin loves to see these type of things happen since it makes their bitcoin worth more. less liquidity.  Shocked no one that owns bitcoin wants someone tanking the price of bitcoin by dumping a large number of them on an exchange. i wouldn't think

and think about it. if we really cared or thought it was a "real tragedy" then we could change how bitcoin works but good luck with that.

also did the OP mention how much he paid for those 100 bitcoin? even if he paid $100 each, that's $10,000. pretty wreckless to not take care of that type of an investment so i'm assuming he must have not paid that much for them.

OMG,, Shocked
You are an old member and if you had saved your bitcoin wallet key you would not have lost BTC100 bitcoins. Maybe you have tried a lot to recover your key by looking at current bitcoin location and bitcoin price changes but without success. Maybe you have a lot of money in the device that you lost but you are unable to recover it in any way, it seems very painful and difficult for you. If you had been careful back then you could have become a big man today just by selling bitcoins. If you had carefully kept your keys in a safe place then, you might have recovered your money today. However, what you lost will never be found, since you don't have the key to the wallet, so there is no way to revive the wallet. But you must be more careful in the present so that you don't lose the key later if you invest Bitcoin now and keep your money and care.
