Topic: Have you ever been stolen or lost your BTC? - page 4. (Read 1184 times)
I trust to the wallst if I saw a lot of user have a lot of good feedback and only few negative. Also they opererated more than few years like maybe they started like 2016 maybe Incan trust them. Now it's hard to build a trust to the new waller because they will going stole our bitcoin once we keep our bitcoin to the new wallet but Ive never experience to stole my bitcoin because Im careful where did I keep my coins such as bitcoin.
I am involved in cryptocurrencies since 2017 and have kept my crypto assets in different wallet. I have securely placed keys of all my crypto wallets and never lost my funds to hackers. Although I never lost my funds from any of exchange wallets still I do not recommend it to keep your funds for a long time. I am currently using myetherwallet, metamask and another wallets and never lost funds from any of these wallets. I think if you do not share your private key and keep your system free from miscellaneous softwares, there is no chance that anyone can hack your wallet.
Oooh this is an interesting topic, why countries are so struggling with cryptocurrencies, I recently read an article on neironix, about regulation at different state levels, and indeed there were a lot of relevant articles on this neironix
It's quite easy to decide which wallet to choose if you know how cryptocurrencies work.
To keep it short, any wallet whose private key you own is considered to be safe.
For example, in case of bitcoin, there are many wallets like Mycelium and Exodus that gives you the ability to store your private key.

That is why my bitcoin is not long to my wallet.

Recently I've heard someone's speech about keeping BTC on the exchange is not safe. But the same thing may be fair to other types of wallets — it's all about the pros and cons, isn't it?
There must be a comparison based on the number of incidents, statistics, etc.
I mean, ok, let's consider this article as a detailed guide for different types of wallets — there's an explanation, principles of working, advantages and disadvantages — but how do you actually know, which wallet will be safe? How did you choose your current wallet?
Where do you keep crypto? Have you ever been stolen?
I have not personally experienced this situation like i lost my btc and i am thankful for this that it never happended with me.But i have heard from others like they deposit their btc in exchange and are unable to withdraw them due to scams or hackers attacking their online wallets and have access to private keys and btc are lost forever.So its better to preserve your coins in cold storage where no one have access to because its really hurt when you suffer this situation.So be safe as scams are always there.

They say it is unsafe to store your cryptos on Exchangers , i bet it is because unfortunately a friend of mine lost his balance on Hitbtc amounting to 4000k ,it was hacked. Luckily i have not experienced any of this. I have losses investing on lending schemes way back 2018 and i will never attempt to go with those kind of investment schemes.

The best way of knowing if a wallet is safe is to look at the number of users who are currently using it. Definitely you might not get at least a 100% security but the huge number of user bases tells you that particular wallet is better than the others. Where do you keep crypto?

Not long ago, i came across Ellipal wallet and i think it's very secured looking at its air-gapped nature which does not allow transactions to be made through any physical or network connection. To me this wallet is the most secure in the industry at the moment. You can check it out here https://www.ellipal.com/
i came across scam bitcoin which i got mislead by one investment company we should extremely cautious in sending btc payment through links
There is no scam in bitcoin but some stupid people taking the name of bitcoin and starting a scam company or a fake set up to scam people and all the bad name is going to bitcoin as if bitcoin is created to scam people, if people are not having common sense and they keep on helping the scammers grow by listening to their fake stories and investment plan and how they can magically increase your bitcoin majority of the greedy people jump into it without even thinking. If everyone understand that there is no free money then these scams will end. Recently I've heard someone's speech about keeping BTC on the exchange is not safe.

so there are plenty of options we can keep BTC out of them such as nano wallet, my ether wallet.. ect..that's how I keep them safe.
Sorry but you're wrong. MEW is certainly for Ethereum and ERC20 tokens. There's no possible way to store bitcoin on that wallet, they have an option to trade ETH to BTC but it's because of a 3rd party service and you will receive BTC through a receiving wallet and it's not through MEW. Being a BTC wallet, they are not.You can use our swap function to swap between BTC and ETH, thanks to our partner Bity, but we do not offer support for BTC. We just offer the option to swap it. This requires you have a BTC wallet, to receive the funds.

I lost my BTC to a fraud exchange. During the 2017-2018 bull run, many new exchanges came and many people got scammed by such fraud exchanges. Exchanges left when the market started correcting. I lost almost 2btc to such an exchange which was worth almost $35k that time. But every loss is a learning. Since then, I keep my crypto in a wallet and not on exchange until and unless I am trading.
I'm sorry for your lost, I just lost $ 1500 it feels very annoyed and stressed, especially if you lose 2 BTC I can't imagine your feelings
at that time. 2 BTC is not a small amount of money that is very much, fortunately you are now already move on. If I may give advice,
do not save money on exchanges well-known exchanges or not popular exchanges. It's better to choose popular exchanges, because
popular exchanges are more credible, safe and trusted. And don't keep too long in exchanges, then don't deposit funds in one exchange
or in one wallet. You have to save them in several swallets or keep them on several exchanges. With the intention that if one exchanges
scam, the money does not disappear all will still be in another exchange.
It's really a heart breaking reading someone stole their Bitcoin or their account has been hacked, we should always be careful and don't trust your passwords, personal computers to everyone, only your most trusted one life your wife/husband or parents. Well, for me I do back up via email but making sure I am not clicking things I am not familiar with to avoid hack.
Beware of web phishing and avoid unrealistic offers and many others such as offers that make you tempted and do not click on something unknown or suspicious because hackers can occur from unexpected things.
No one can steal your BTC until you keep them in a safe place, in my opinion, an exchange is a particular place we should trade and buy ALT coins ect...but we should never keep for long term holding. so there are plenty of options we can keep BTC out of them such as nano wallet, my ether wallet.. ect..that's how I keep them safe.. and still, I have not been stolen my BTC so far! have a nice day to everyone, keep your valuable BTC safe! 
I've never experience getting lost or stolen my bitcoin but only in scam since i trust those HYIP program before and i have no idea about trading, i think that was year 2016 and almost 3 bitcoin was been scammed from me.
That's why i never trusted any invedtment program that has high yield interest and minig program thag you get satoshi evety minute. Best way to avoid getting lost of your bitcoin is to always check the address and make sure you are not creating an account from those scam exchanges.

In my experience in two years of knowing bitcoin, I never experience stole my coin on the wallet that I trusted but I experience a lot of scams. I also experience lost from trading that easily dump and my money doesn't have any value to trade so you need to start at first again. If you want to secure your bitcoin then you must need to know how to secure it and where, what are the safest wallet in this internet world.
My Bitcoin has never been stolen by anyone (I hope it doesn't happen). but I ever lost the Bitcoin that I saved in the Bitcoin wallet that I made for the first time.. At that time I saved a private key in my laptop, but accidentally I downloaded a file that made my laptop attacked by a virus and must to be reinstalled... if there is someone still haphazardly storing a private key or personal Bitcoin wallet password, you should immediately store it in a place that is easy to remember and safe.
I have had the experience of losing the bitcoins that I have because I invested in famous mining that was a scam, so that the assets in the form of bitcoins that I had became lost and the website could not be opened, until now I was traumatized when I wanted to invest using my bitcoin.
That is the saddest part of experience in cryptocurrency, losing money with a reason of being scammed in an investment. I have never lost my BTC even from the first time I entered cryptocurrency, I am very cautious for every transaction I have made, and before I enter, my friend who taught me about bitcoin warned and told me to be careful and do not easily trust other people especially those investments.

Where do you keep crypto? Have you ever been stolen?
When I was first browsing and bought bitcoin. I invest in some crypto to earn some more but I am new at that time and did not notice every reminder when sending token. Mistakenly, I did not read the reminder that no one should send using eth wallet but I did it. That is the lesson for my entire trading here. The lesson in that, we should read everything first before taking any steps because your money is at stake so we should be aware of every situation and be informed first before making such a decision. I am also being scammed in some projects I joined but that was long time ago, I joined to promote their project, the project became successful but still, the team did not pay us for the job we have done for them. They are reasoning that they cannot continue the project and they give back the money to some investors. But I dont think the reason is valid because the project really reached the target cap. There must be a comparison based on the number of incidents, statistics, etc.
