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

What have you tried to retrieve them?

I am very careful with my bitcoins. I do make sure that the wallet of my bitcoin is secured, that I can always access it and easily recover it in case of some problems. But some of my coins are in myether wallet which I have not opened for a long time. I still have my private key but myether wallet took a lot of upgrade in since the time I last opened my account as well as my kucoin account. I tried to retrieve it all and luckily after few days of confirmation, I opened it and get back coins.

So far I personally have never lost access to any wallet that I used after a past event about losing access to an exchange, at least after that incident I have always been more thorough in terms of storing all security data. Yes, I have never lost access to my wallet since I was in this market, but I have lost access to an exchange in the past, and the only regret is that I kept at least a few altcoins on the exchange until I finally tried to be patient because I lost all crypto I have there, while basically these altcoins have the potential for the long term, even now I still see very good growth.

I only ever get a case like this on the HYIP website. when I invested there and couldn't access the bitcoin that I had because I thought it was a scam site.
in other cases, I have never had a case like that, except for a bitcoin theft because I entered a phishing site. however, so far I have kept my private keys well and my passwords stored in a safe place. so I can always access it.

Actually common problems in not accessing the wallet is
forget the Private keys which is very important because we can't access again our wallet. / That's why always careful in storing this keys.

And in my experience when I was a newbie i lost access to my wallet that contains 0.2 BTC before and price of this before are only 50 USD. Which is not hurt me but when price Increase this give me frustrations to open again because i can't still find private keys. I accidentally deleted this in my social media messages drop.

When you lost access to your bitcoin wallet try to contact with support team of your exchange account, before late you can ask him about your trouble and they will try to resolve all your terrible with bitcoin and altcoin exchange account.

I dont see recovering from an exchange wallet can be easily do. Exchange doesnt even have their own PK as they are the one holding your coins the only concern they can help you is when you get hacked but only few exchange accept this, as potential hoax is on your side. Its so easy to say that you got hacked but its also you whom transfer this and reason like this isnt accepted if you eant to claim your loss fund. That's why exchange keep reminding to keep your account safe from all cost cause they are not liable for it except if their exchange has been breached by someone and your funds included on the hacked coins.

I lost an access on one of my wallet but its emptied anyway so I didnt lost any coins.

Fortunately I didnt experience losing my btc. Because after the incident that I cant open my old wallet due to negligence I make sure now that I saved the important details, im using a secured wallet where I hold the private keys.

What I have experieced is that,

The time when I decided to save enough bitcoin in my desktop wallet. Since I am confident that I am the only one who's using my PC, I only save my private key on the notepad. After the time goes by, my PC suddenly gets blue screen of death, yes, a sudden issue with my computer's hardware or what. I got worried since I don't have any back up information for my wallet, and unfortunately I cannot access my wallet anymore after I fixed my PC.

Yes I forgot my password and email of my old Bitcoin wallet I used to create multiple online wallet back then because of the referral bonus.
And I put up some BTC to one of those wallet then I forgot the email and password so I couldn't really retrieve it.
It was back when BTC was just around $200-250 it was just a small amount so I just tried to forget and ignore it.

My first bitcoins were on BTCGuild. I hoarded them before knowing much about Bitcoin and just let them sit in the account. Then I forgot all about Bitcoin and focused on university. Years later, BTC Guild now no longer exists and I have no idea how many Bitcoin I lost.

that is what commonly happen from the past adopters when they have no much idea on which to use for hoarding and suddenly those company does not exist these days and they have no able access how to contact them.

The first ever wallet I have created was a mobile wallet,
I didn't know that seed phrase is important so I just disregard saving it and proceed directly to my wallet. But then, my phone was broken and need to change for a new one. I lost the access to my wallet because it request for the seed phrase in my new wallet which I disregard saving before.

It was in poloniex exchange where I invested (for long term investment) I'm not really aware that investing in a exchange for a long term investment is not really a good idea or not advisable.

Back in the days, I love trading since I trade daily and sometimes I could make 20$ in a day just in trading my tokens alone. For one to two years I invested my bitcoin there, and I get a lot of issues when it comes to the transaction and withdrawing my investment where I lose some money. And then my phone broke and I couldn't open my account in poloniex because of the 2FA authentication and there is no backup and pm the support but they are not really active(or do anything that really helps). I already forget that investment until last year when I try to open my account again and suddenly I can now open it with some verifications.

Although I have not lost access to btc directly but recently I have lost access to my APL coin, I can't really say what am missing because I still have my private phrase to the wallet but for some waired reason the pass phrase suddenly don't work, this is same pass phrase I have used before, now it no longer work and I can't transfer my coin out of wallet,
I should have sold those coin when I have access and buy a more wallet friendly coin.

I have lost access to old bitcoin wallets, but those were empty wallets, son, i don't feel bad at all.

One of the first topics i learn about bitcoin was how the address and private keys work, and how important is to have access to your private keys because if the wallet gets fucked up at least you can load your private key to other wallet and recover your coins.

I was using yobit for exchange of bitcoin. At first everything was going fine and I was able to withdraw the bitcoin. But after a few weeks there was a problem and I was not able to withdraw my money. It is because there was some error. But the site soon repaired it and I could access my bitcoin.

That was 4 years ago I never recovered my wallet but glad that I only have 50000 sats there but this could worth a lot in the future I lost it when I lost my email where I kept my private key, but that's a big lesson learned from then on the first thing that I tried to keep is my private key and seeds, every newbie should learn how to safeguard it.

There is nothing more embarrassing and hurtful when you got robbed Embarrassed

I got robbed on 2018, my bag with my laptop got away to me. That shit is freaking unexpected man, I'm just going home when these 2 guys suddenly ran up to me and pointed a sharp object to me, I didn't able to see if that was a knife or something but it was sharp, I'd better gave my bag than my life. I'm totally devastated at that point but luckily my phone is in my pocket, at least. I lost almost half of my access to my wallets, tokens and some other stuff that is important to crypto. I could probably bought a car with my savings on crypto, at the very least I got no losses from what I earned in 2017's blast.

One of the things we need to do when we have a cryptocurrency account or wallet is always making sure all of the transaction happens when we are making some transferring of funds. Most of the wallets today are now have a lot of different features to make sure that the user is reliable and verified. As a user of different accounts of cryptocurrency wallet, there are some features they made like two-way authentication; some of them are connected with the keygen that gives to you depends on the timer shown on your devices. Some of them are sending encrypted code to your devices that are connected with your phone number or email address. Also, it is better if we have a problem that is related to our account always make sure we will report to them because some of the admin are approachable and always give respect to them and takes a lot of time when they are updating them.

Luckily, I've never lost any BTC. I've always used reputable wallets when it comes to Bitcoin, so no problems were experienced by me over the years. However, I lost some Ethereum due to a hack/scam. The wallet provider claimed that it was a hack, and in the early days they offered reimbursements of 40%. I filed an application and received 40% back. Then more and more people started accusing the wallet owners of scamming people, and the owners disappeared. I filed some scam report applications after that but this resulted in nothing, even though the identity of the owner was established and many people supposedly filed cybercrime reports on a governmental website of the US stating the full story along with the name.
