I've lost some bitcoins from HYIP sites when I was still a newbie. I know that they call it a "ponzi" site but I didn't know what does ponzi actually means. Sometimes I search for the HYIP site I'm investing in and it redirects into this forum and everybody's like "Ohh, that's a ponzi." It was after I've lost bitcoins when I searched and fully understood what does 'ponzi' means.

Have you ever lost Bitcoin?

If that happened, why?   Was it your own fault,  or were you scammed?

I lost bitcoin on gambling, card games and roulette. Fortunately I have earned money from texas holdem, I like it very much, I will join WSOP 2017 and win money.

Just go to Investor Based Games and for sure if you invested in any of the ponzi sites being promoted there you will loose Bitcoins, as a newbie before I invested in those kind of sites like scrypt.cc, cloudminr.io and ore-mine and all of them turned out to a SCAM so I lost some Bitcoins. My fault, stupidy + greed = scammed  Sad

Yes- it was totally my fault. My hard disk drive died and I had no wallet backup. It was only about $15 USD at the time. Overall, a valuable lesson.

I've never lost bitcoin. but some of my friends in this forum often lose bitcoin. they store in the bitcoin wallet like mt GOX and bitfinnex. I worry when things like that happen again. the more people will be harmed.

I've only known bitcoin for about 10-11 months.. I earned from faucets religiously, only to lose 90% of them to Cldmine, Topmine and Hashocean. Still hurts till now.

P.S: Anyone got any idea of trustworthy faucets?

I lost my BTC in cloudmining in hashocean to be specific and I am still having a problem with that 0.02 BTC however life goes on.

If you are looking for trustworthy faucets have you ever tried https://freebitco.in/ I have heard that it is really paying.

Yes.. It is still paying. It's probably the only consistent faucet I know. Thanks for your response.

Yes I got scammed out of around 60 dollars worth of Bitcoin.  Never send first even if you have done several trades with the person. 

How did you loose it? Did you get scammed on this forum or somewhere else? As even there are many escrows who are turning out to be scam so its not worth to trust anyone.
I'm guessing it may possibly be from ponzi schemes. It's a shame that much has been gone to where it shouldn't have been.

I too have lost coins. Although I willingly let myself lose as I was just having fun testing out a lot of casino games and I think it was worth it since I actually had fun.

Same here i experience that in other forum i send first after that never received any answer from scammer..
So this generation better to be wise never trust any even they have a good reputation.. always safe way like escrow..


Something that is very sad, this may have occurred because it is too open or of someone who has known to us even though they have a good reputation, it's not something a guarantee. because we can't see exactly how the real face of those who do so. escrow is indeed very advisable, therefore, to minimize it
Yes minimized scam only work if you use escrow services indispensable in every micro transaction at least escrow will not run your money because not much transaction you do by using their service.

Using escrow  is  recommended when you have a transaction  with another user  but remember to transact with little amounts of bitcoin only because even those escrows  is not trustable if you transact large amounts of bitcoin for sure they would turn out to scam, im not generalizing all goo escrows out there  but  im just  explaining the possiblities or it already happen.

I have lost small amounts of coins in the past. Once someone hacked in to my online wallet and stole the coins. In another incident, the exchange site which I was using went AWOL, taking my coins.
i have lost some amounts of bitcoin in the past either, to be honest gambling did all the stuff for me to lose though i didnt waste a lot of money

So basically that is your fault for trusting someone and not using an escrow for the deal.
As you said never to trust anyone even if you have already done some trades with him before because we never know what there intentions are so better to just use an escrow for the trades in this forum.
