I lost 0.06BTC in a coinbase account, actually my fault back in 2014, i forgot password and also the email id which i used, since i was new to bitcoin at that time, i was little scared of spam emails to my inbox and used a temporary email id.

Next one is 0.23BTC in Invested for doubling in 2xbitco.in. obviously i was so dumb to realize bitcoin is a currency at that time. i though bitcoin was some kind of coins given by some site for doing jobs or for some kind of activity in their site.

I lost some altcoins trading cause i wansn't attentive and tried to have a deal with random guy that i found online, now i am more careful in this case.
it is better not to have any deals with strangers online because you might lose a lot of money really easy, i lost bitcoins only on gambling
Yeah I do have lost some Bitcoin but that was because I was to greedy and busy with gambling at the time. Bt know I have learned on how to save money.
I do not lose my Bitcoin anymore because that is latterly a waist if you mange to do that.
Sometimes I have lost small amounts... But if  you have proper care and follow the safety  recommendations, to prevent such things from  happening, probably will not have major problems.

On rare occasions, when I was  trading. It is an unpredictable market,  as they say. But over time you  learn how to make better  movements. It is important to be always up to  date with the news and  development of the crypto projects.

Its not a rare occasion since in doing trading we normally experience this kind of thing because  we can predict the market price on any time basis.  Mistakes  at first are just normal  because we learn from it  so that  in the next move we know already  what to do, even the market price is  volatile we could lessen the risk  if we got already the  trading pattern and  things that must be considered. Lossing bitcoin in trading  is not a rare thing.

I never lost bitcoins and I'm pretty happy about it, I think that losing bitcoins is not good at all and the fact is that you need to control it good.
Always check your wallets and your PC for any suspicion you are having.

There are much people who losed bitcoins not all of them i hope but when you lose one bitcoin it is a big disaster because one bitcoin is already more than 600 dollar and that is not nothing!!

It is not just a single bitcoin because it has really a big amount if you are going to exchange that into fiat. Good thing that I haven't lost that big amount  in my history to bitcoin the biggest amount that I have lost is that only 0.005 BTC and that is when I became a victim of hyip because I was still new in bitcoin that time and good thing also that I didn't invest all my savings.

I have lost few bitcents before on few occasions but these where my fault, The address was receiving few payments but the private key was already in a computer than was formatted. Had accounts at inputs.io and mtgox but no BTC at them at that time.

Well at least these coins will never touch the real owners neither will be used by anyone, but I have seen guys which saw vanity address and the private key in public (like the one in github) and started receiving money but in fact the private key of this address is publicly posted and everyone can use it.

I have lost bitcoin once or twice this was because i was trading and did a few bad trades which resulted in a loss of bitcoin.
But nowadays im more careful when trading and I trade with way smaller amounts then I used to.

It's something incredible lessons within me, because it is trading should be done in a manner that carefully in doing so, because in our pursuit of trading uncertainty so we must always see it in different ways. When we wrong in seeing it then the defeat we will get. But from your event, I am sure that you have something very great reason in being an extraordinary trader

Have you ever lost Bitcoin?

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

"Your own fault" or "were yo scammed" are the same thing if you ask me , because if you get scammed then it was your fault for not using escrow in your transaction or trusting people just like that or simply using reversible payment methods . and no , I never lost any bitcoins and I'm not planning to start now . Grin

Using trusted escrows has been proven to not be always a guarantee for safety. In that case it is very difficult to avoid being scammed here on this forum, even while using trusted forum escrows. Regarding OP; I am happy to say that I have not lost any coins.

Just because Master-P scammed people doesn't mean all escrows are bad , but yes you got a point . Still , 99% of scam accusations on Bitcointalk are totally the fault of people who gets scammed .
I dont think there are allot of people who losed bitcoina and if they losed bitcoins i know for sure that they got scammed by hackers because i think bitcoins can easily be hacked.

I made the mistake of leaving coins at Cryptsy years ago only to come back recently and find them shut down.  Sad
Very sad to lost bitcoin, but sometimes it will gives us more learning to be careful into the next thing we do in our bitcoin, i think now you will be more extra careful on the site that you invest.

mistakes would   make us learn in our  journey with bitcoin and  for sure we wont  make the same mistake again since we are already aware of it. We do lack of knowledge  thats why we commit mistakes which is normal for me and i treat it as a stepping stone  to my success because  i assume that no one didnt commit a mistake  in the beggining.

I lost bitcoin by buying bitcoin product online and never receiving ever but the company had positive reviews.
Still the support would not support me and they would dodge my questions everytime so i think they faked their reviews and i fell for it, feels bad.
Aww thats awful if you guys trying to buy something online make sure that you guys always checking those feedbacks and reviews beforw you placw an order so that you will never regret it report the website so that the owner should be punish andnit should be send to jail to learn
i think that everybody has lost some Bitcoin before but there are different ways of losing your Bitcoin. You can spend them at the casino which is your own fault but you also can get hacked or scammed.
I am never hacked or scammed but I did lose some Bitcoin with gambling.

yes. I often lose bitcoin. loss when trading, deceived someone, and I most regret is losing because of my gambling. I very much regret it

Me too I am losing bitcoins because I am into trading so that is necessary that winning is not guaranteed and daily. And I know that I am going to experience losing because everything in investment is very risky. But that is fine with me, because I know if there is going to be a big pump I will going to have big profit out of it.

i think most of the people lost some bitcoins before because of dumb decisions and bad investments and we cannot do anything about it
