I try to be a careful guy, so I have at least three copies of everything that is important on hard drives and USB sticks.
Recently I added a paper version where it is possible.
Three months ago my hard drive was not responding anymore. Thanks to my copies that was no big deal!
I'm glad to say that I never lost bitcoins till now.

Thanks for that, I think i need to learn about your ways even it looks much time consuming but for security and safety. I think it’s worth the try. I highly appreciate the idea of paper money and honestly never have any idea of how this might be possible or how this process can be. I will eventually research on that aspect. Then about hard drives and USB, I have already done that and thanks for the reminder that it might be functionality issues that must be addressed and to be careful at that.

I haven't experience losing bitcoin due to forgetting passsword or computer crash but I was able to lose some in gambling lol. It's quite difficult if ever we lose our bitcoin because as far as I know we cannot retrieve or there is no way to bring back lose bitcoin, it will permanently out of the circulation and will never get back.

It even sounds very scary to me. I lost my password from the online wallet once. I just could not find a piece of paper where it was written. I really panicked. But fortunately I found the password in an hour. Probably this is the worst moment with Bitcoin in my life.

Unluckily I loss some in a scam not in any password loss or crashed computer. It hurts at first but I'm doing fine now thank you to my new found community that helped me recover my loss last year (through DEEPONION). Hopefully I won't encounter that way of losing since I'm beginning to save my coins for future purposes. Keeping my private keys to different locations, in that way I am able to recover it when my computer crashes.

I had 6.25 bitcoins in Mt. Gox. I didn't bother following up on it when they closed because at the time that wasn't very much money (I want to say slightly higher than $500). It was a real bummer and I didn't know what to do.

Too bad for you, that's really something.
Well, for me, I lose all my coins when I lose all my private keys in my computer when it crashes like they detected viruses. I tried to restore all my files but it's too late. So now I learned my lessons, I wrote all my private keys in papers like I have 5 copies and safe keep it.

Yes it really was that bad thing that would happened. I was with this situation also lately, its when your running out and im about to post then suddenly the password i enter was incorrect, its just you really freaking out. Well, sometimes were likely an old man though. Its just happen sometimes that we are forgotten some important matters.

This was happened to me before but thanks to my gmail I recovered my account. I almost forgot my password in my btc wallet, I have tried attempting many times to log in by guessing my password and finally the app requested to recover my account via gmail

I also experienced this recently. The fact that because of your so busy, your being panic and all that happen is you forgot your Password, worst case is a password of your wallet. And what is more worst is that your really need to cash out your or exchange or bitcoin, I'll thank God that I didn't forgot to take note my password. Thanks to my diary.

Thanks God I have never faced to that my own. I'm filling the rule to not hold all eggs in one basket. I hold my coins on exchanger (yes, I know it's risky, so don't waste your time quoting my post and saying how risky it is), online wallet and hardware wallet. In the case I will loose one - other two will be here Wink

I do not even have bitcoin yet, in a few weeks I'll get bitcoin. I already anticipate forgetting passwords, storing bitcoins in a safe place so as not to be stolen.

I have lost bitcoin because my old laptop display burned. Since it was a very old version , the hardisk was working only on the same model. It is good that I kept my bitcoins in an online wallet and only a small amount in my offline wallet.
If you keep your bitcoins in offline wallets you should save on an external hardisk all the important informations because you never know what is going to happen

It was 2016 when I lost almost .05 bitcoin and 10> litecoin when my laptop stolen, it’s my bad because of negligence I have never back up any information on anything. I have stop bitcoin because of this for almost a year or quarter. It just frustrating and honestly depressing because I invested it. Not like who earned it. It was the biggest mistakes and it will always be a regrettable one. Now I’m making things right.

Yes, and the reason was I forget my password in my wallet. My phone fall and got cracked so the screen turned to black and didnt open it again. I got sad that time because I have bitcoin in my wallet but I cant open it. I tried to enter different password that I always used in my accounts but it doesnt fit. After that I learned and I always saved my password in a piece of paper in a my computer as well so that If I forget I can recover it.
