Topic: Have you ever lost access to your Bitcoins? - page 2. (Read 1009 times)
Some of my friends were among the early adopters. A few of them got their first coins in 2012. And back then the prices were really low, and most of the users were being careless with their coins. A lot of them lost their holdings by storing them in exchange wallets, or in online wallets where 2FA was not enabled. Even I made the same mistake, when I started collecting coins in 2017. But have to say at this point that I was more lucky when compared to the other users in retrieving lost coins.
That was very common years ago when the price of bitcoin was low, people bought bitcoin and they did not thought much about it and they forgot about their coins but some time later they realized the price of bitcoin had gone up dramatically and they wanted to get those coins back but since they did not took enough precautions to recover those coins they lost access to them, however I believe such scenario is going to become less common as the value and the potential of bitcoin as a currency becomes more widespread to the general public.
It's still common for me actually to be honest;) I used to have so many accounts on different faucets and casinos, and I would even deposit in almost every place to gamble, and then many of them would have balances too small to do anything at all (too small for min withdrawal) so I end up forgetting about them. Probably if I lumped everything together especially after price boom I would have over hundreds of dollars.
Yes, it happened when I started knowing bitcoin and decided to invest a little money.
I used a mobile wallet and saved the screenshot of my private key to my phone storage, I am always using my mobile phone everywhere I am, even in public transport and then my phone suddenly got broken. I wasn't able to have a copy of every important file on that phone including my private key to open my wallet.

What is your story of not being able to access your Bitcoin wallet with Bitcoins in them.
What have you tried to retrieve them?
This has only happened to me once, and that’s when I was still new to all these. Okay the problem was that I was making use of a wallet, and that’s the Blockchain wallet, one thing I never knew was that for you to access your wallet you need your wallet ID. What have you tried to retrieve them?
I have been using this wallet in my android then and I never had computer, so one day I formatted the phone and wasn’t able to gain back access to the wallet. There was about $20 in the wallet which I wasn’t able to get back since I made up my mind to create a new wallet. But as time goes on I was able to find a way to get the Wallet ID’s that are associated with my old email and recovered it later.
I have lost a little amount of bitcoin before,
It is when I just got started knowing bitcoin, I invested some bitcoin and put it on a wallet which I didn't take care of. That time, the value of bitcoin is below a thousand dollars, I just stored it and even forgot about it. When bitcoin started to increase its price, I tried to look for it but unfortunately, I cannot find or retrieve it ever since.

True that, when things become worth more people consider taking more care of them as well.

Honestly, I have always been serious about the security of my investments and have never lost access to my cryptocurrencies. The main thing is to be careful and attentive and all investments will be safe.
I have never been in this kind of situation any time in my life.i have always take care of any type of key, password,phrase very seriously where I have larger funds but some time some application got stuck and look like we lost the fund.
So take care of your security, you will never going to lost the funds. Bitcoin transfers sometimes takes time but always transact very well so don't worry be happy

My first phrase wallet in the blockchain was lost because my computer was infected with a virus so I had to reinstall my windows, and I only realized after I searched for the file containing the phrase that it didn't exist on the computer. I've tried to remember it but still can't log in, even though it's not much that's still my first wallet.

I have experience when, my laptop has been taken from me, I have a file their that contains all of my private key but, sadly I don't have any online back-up since I don't trust online since it can be hack anytime and this disaster happen to me. Honestly I don't expect that my money can be recover considering that, I only have one copy of it. It's been a lesson learned to me so I don't have any regrets to it. Always do a back-up as much as possible.
Most likely those coins are lost because even if you could recover your laptop it is possible all the data has already been erased out of the hard drive, this is why it is important to have several backups, I have an USB with my private keys and I have a paper backup with my seed words, that way if something happens to my computer I know that I will be able to recover my coins no matter what happens, however I recognize that my current arrangement does not mean that my coins are perfectly secure since many things could happen that could make me lose my coins.
Lost 0.1 Bitcoin on a phone Wallet when the App suddently forced you to create a code/password!!
I knew I will forget this code or even forget where and how I wrote it down. So some months later it happened. Thanks for forcing access codes on people that are bad with such.
Wonder how many coins got lost this way already.

What is your story of not being able to access your Bitcoin wallet with Bitcoins in them.
What have you tried to retrieve them?
Not in my Bitcoin wallet because I'm to cautious about my Wallets with BTC but in my ethereum wallet?yeah once i have missed saving the private key so my coins are gone and cannot find them now.What have you tried to retrieve them?
Yes I have, just recently I lost a good amount of BTC because I lost access to my LUKS encrypted drive and never did a backup of my LUKS partition header. I will not make that mistake ever again!!!!
Is that a safer wallet?that LUKS?actually i am looking for another wallet thats why I'm asking.When you lost access to your bitcoin wallet maybe you lost your money, but before it happen to your account better save and hold your assets and keep save data wallet in several place, or you can try by saving your wallet data by manually wrote on paper and then save in your billow, I think is best ideas how to keep safety with your ddoument.
Not just maybe but yes because we cannot retrieve our money if we lose our private keys.

What is your story of not being able to access your Bitcoin wallet with Bitcoins in them.

to be honest, all people who lose access to the bitcoin they have, basically they will try to re-access the bitcoin they have and try to take it back. however, so far I have never heard that anyone can really get it back. so far, I've only ever lost the assets that I have in my wallet. Well, I tried to get it back, but, it seems like the opportunity has gone. so I decided to replace it with a new wallet. What have you tried to retrieve them?
I think you should keep calm in this case, keeping bitcoin in reputable wallets is essential and important, I always keep them in blockchain wallet, but sometimes my bitcoins are lost but actually If there is a problem with the display error, they will be fixed soon.

Maybe I'm just a lucky person that I didn't experienced losing my access to any Bitcoin I have until now.What have you tried to retrieve them?
Or because I have done a research first regarding the basics and that includes storing of Bitcoin before I invested on it and decide to hold some.
Retrieving them is easy if you remember the keys of your Bitcoin, aside from that it would be hard to retrieve.
This is one of the most painful thing that can happen on the blockchain. I'm saying so because it's very painful to see Your Own funds through blockchain but can't access them. And always most painful when the funds are much. Hence, we all should be very³ careful about our bitcoin wallets. Sometimes it could be your phrase and other times it could be that you sent it to a wrong wallet address. Once you create a wallet, back it up on up to 3 different reachable places. And when sending bitcoins, be very sure that you are sending to the rightful wallet address because 𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗩𝗘 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗜𝗧𝗖𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗦, 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢 𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗧 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 (𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗦𝗛𝗜 𝗛𝗜𝗠𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙!)
