Topic: Day i have lost my 100 bitcoins - page 5. (Read 875 times)

I somehow believe in your story as you have registered in this forum since 2013. Meaning, that you have known Bitcoin since then. Compared to other stories where I have doubts that they really do have their holdings, but they just recently have their account on this forum.

I feel sorry for what happened to you, I don't know what happened but maybe this made you hate yourself as 100 Bitcoins is so valuable up to this day. If the same thing happened to me, maybe it will leave a mark, and will regret this for the rest of my life.

Although the OP mentioned here that Bitcoin was in his wallet a long time ago. But he couldn't recover his bitcoins without care, which he laments today, which he regrets today. So when he put it in the bitcoin wallet maybe the value of bitcoins was very low, but today those bitcoins are worth a lot. So everything should be taken care of to keep yourself calm and have a happy future. Although small for the present but a mountain amount for the future as he lost bitcoins.

IMHO, it's not strange but the regret is there with these people that they want to share what their experiences are. If this story of OP is just made up, there are actual stories that are for real that have made those early miners or buyers of Bitcoin that held a lot of it lost it forever. But it's true that they can't do anything about it to restore what they've got before but I guess they just want to tell us the lesson that they've learned from these moments that they've got. I think those that have Bitcoin on the early days would have hard time in recovery and probably won't buy again, most of them.

I agree, nothing will happen if he didn't do action now. But it's just hard to move on with such event in your life that could have been life changing forever. More stories like this might come in the next few days when the earliest people that have trusted Bitcoin and purchased it have it before and then they can't do anything about it anymore as they're gone wholly. But, those that have continued despite of what happened to them and still accumulated and started a new journey are the ones that are brave.

If this true I remember the big bang theory show that has an episode related to Bitcoin. They mine Bitcoin many years ago and forgot about it. Their friend that they didn’t invite secretly stored their mine Bitcoin back then to the USB keychain of one his friends that mine it.

The Keychain USB with Bitcoin is always on his pocket until it was accidentally loss before they realized that they have Bitcoin. The hilarious part is the guy who find the USB reformat the USB with Bitcoin and sold it with 20 bucks. 

You're just one of the many that have forgotten their private keys and didn't care that much about the Bitcoin that they've held. Just like the guy that had his old harddrive wanting to be dug up on an old sanitary field but that's no luck at all because that has been dumped there for years. Also, another guy that had forgotten his password to his wallet that contains a lot of bitcoins too and IIRC, he's got 2 attempts left or else it will completely gone forever. I think that in the old days, everyone didn't expect that Bitcoin will grow this much so, they didn't protected themselves by having a backup.

No offense, but why is it that every time bitcoin price increases or during bull season, stories of losing bitcoins or missing out on bitcoins increase day by day? This is really strange and even if it were true, would our whining and sadness bring them back to us? For me, the past is the past and let's focus on the present because we have no way to get back what we lost in the past.

Have you started your bitcoin accumulation journey now? Or are you still sitting there lamenting the bitcoins you lost in the past due to your mistakes? If you still don't take action, your future will never get better.

No one expect that bitcoin will go far like this that's why there's a lot of people neglect to protect their asset before that's why some regret their decision to throw out their BTC and some regret because they didn't make sure that their old wallet is safe and they can grab it anytime they want hen they need it.

This is another story of lose bitcoin and a owner counting his possible profit if he can grab his old balance and sell it now.

Hope your story will serve a lesson for current Bitcoin holder that they make sure their wallet is safe and accessible at anytime if they are ready to use it. Hopefully we don't see any missing bitcoins in future and all people who start to hold their bitcoin now will earn a lot of money in future.

It's unfortunate that some people only remember their holdings when the bitcoin price has skyrocketed, and by then, it's often too late. However, it's important to take responsibility for our assets and give them the care they deserve. While becoming a millionaire may not be meant for everyone, it's still essential to be mindful of our investments and take steps to protect them. In the end, we can only learn from our mistakes and move forward with a better understanding of the value of our assets. Kia Finance Login

My question is... Don't you have an access to a device where you monitors this your Bitcoin assets because I believe the USB was a device only where you could store your document details such as your seed phrases and not a virtual device that displaces the views of your assets market.
Don't you have your seed phrases on a multiple storage either different online devices, sites or even on a hardware storage such a ls writing it down in some pieces of papers or a diary?
Oh my goodness. I do not know when you started accumulating these Bitcoins til you accumulated the sum of 100BTC but what I know is that interestingly, the value of Bitcoin at precious season or even to say just the past months can not be compared to the value of Bitcoin of today.
This really feels like being exploded. For goodness sake it is unbearable to see how high Bitcoin is going this time in the market price rate while considering the Possibilities to lost a whole 100BTC.
Sorry mate. We really and always have to be careful when handling valuables and not just Bitcoin because if you hand other necessary values in a careless manners it could become something usual that somedays, you could go careless with some valuables such as this mate who just lost the sum of 100BTC. Let's stay guided and careful.

I hope that the experience you share can be a valuable lesson for anyone here who still doesn't understand the importance of looking after their bitcoin wallet. Or a crypto wallet. And yes, I'm sorry to hear stories like this, which I encountered quite a lot when I first started studying BTC. so I always keep my wallet mnemonic phrase in two different places. So that if I forget one then I still have the other one. I have both digital and physical copies to secure my crypto wallet.

And actually there are quite a lot of people who experience similar things about this if we collect them. Because no one would have guessed that bitcoin would become as valuable as it is now.

It’s insane to think how many people have gone through the same as you. What really makes wonder is how could someone invest some money in to something and forget it? Is it really possible? How much was bitcoin when you first bought it? I would assume it’s still pretty cheap as you did not really had put so much thought and care into it.

It’s a shame and I would probably not be able to move on from this considering the rate of inflation in my country. Some sympathy for you, mate!

This a very sad story to remember. It is more painful when you recall that it was all your fault that you lost the coins. But from your post, it seems you have overcome the loss and moved on. May early Bitcoiners also suffered the same fate because of carelessness or lack of faith in Bitcoin. Many of them never thought that the price of Bitcoin would increase to this extent. But I am surprised that you never remembered that you had such a treasure carelessly kept in a drawer. I don't care if the story is true or false I am just interested in learning from your mistake which is never to take anything for granted no matter how irrelevant it might look. Satoshi once said that lost Bitcoin is a donation to the Bitcoin community, therefore thanks for the kind gesture  .

OP, I don't understand the point of your forum thread. Do you want to just complain? It's all gone. What's the point of complaining? We've heard many horror stories about BTC being lost forever or stolen. Your story doesn't add anything new. I'm sorry for your loss, but we can't do anything to bring back those 100 BTC. You didn't mention when did you lose the USB key. I thought that you've lost 100 BTC today, based on your thread title.
Can you provide any valid evidence that you really had a USB with 100 Bitcoins? Any noob can make a forum post about having lost 100 or 1000 BTC years ago. Some noobs even make such posts to get merit, which is kinda pathetic.

Sad to hear this OP but no one knows that btc will gives such profit and will surges above 70k. As far I remember,I have also worked on free faucet in 2013-2014 but I haven't saved phrase or password. I totally forgot that how much Satoshis I made that time as I was totally new to internet ans even didn't know about Gmail. Im short I lost btc also there but the reason is only one that I was not aware of btc value.

Now I have written all my phrases in the hardcopy and I am thinking to make copy of it so im case of losing one I have one. I don't want to store in Google drive or any cloud storage as I have lost once almost 1k$ there and hacker have now access to all my old wallet.

Moral: OP now stores absolutely everything and doesn’t throw trash out of the house. Just in case.
OP, you were asked a good question: if you are a trader, did you know about the price of Bitcoin all this time? The amount of 100 bitcoins is worth remembering, isn’t it?
History is a fiction that each of us can create as a lament for missed opportunities.
But there is a difference: someone cries, and someone acts.

In 2009, when bitcoin was launched, I created an account on the website. With the new account I received 5 bitcoins for free and I received a security key ... after so many years and the replacement of several PCs, at that time the storage was done on diskettes, of course I lost everything, I no longer have any information about . ..
Can anything be done for their recovery?

I have also thought of this as well making me to feel like it's a superstitious story or do we say that at such time he hasn't known anything about wallet security or what?
What happened is that at the earlier stage people sees bitcoin as nothing and immediately bitcoin began to gain attention everyone bounces back to search their wallet to know where they kept their bitcoin and some of them misplaced them those who managed to have back their bitcoin sold immediately bitcoin crosses the price of $1,000 at then they were thinking they could be the higher bitcoin will go without knowing that price will change in future.

It's so unreal to actually forget having 100 bitcoins, I bet anyone that bought so early should have sold off more than 3 years ago, there are actually very few persons still holding bitcoin that I vest at the very beginning or earlier.

What about your recovery seed phase ? I bet you must have been careless about it or didn't ever take bitcoin serious and now you are surely in regrets that is if your story is true.

There is one thing people keeps saying about there keys or about the amount they had hold before whatever thing that happened, do you think if you were with your key till date would you still hold or could have sold by now?
Definitely there wouldn't be any bitcoin around you because since bitcoin always attracts new ATH you could have been tempted to sell making you to lose your bitcoin since the origin till date and even as that there were people who invested when bitcoin was nothing and immediately they made 5x they sold still this same people come here to cry about their impatient to hold bitcoin till date without knowing they can't hold.

You are a bitcoin trader since 2010 as per your personal text - but ignoring the rapidly increasing value of bitcoin over time, what kind of story is this? Really - I'm not sure what you're telling me, your bitcoins were worth 2 million dollars in December 2017 but you put them in a drawer with no wallet backup or any kind of extra security.

Of course - mistakes like this can happen, but probably won't happen once bitcoin has a value of more than $100 every coin. Everyone realizes the value of their stored bitcoin after that - unless your 100 bitcoin are only worth $1.
