why will entropy decrease?

As the acceptance increases, entropy will decrease and we will see more such cases.

easy for you to say, you didn't lose all your bitcoins

well what happened happened... You will get over it ... move on.

How can this really have happened??

Damn! 15 BTC!

"correct horse battery stable" is very well known password example so everyone knows it... bad choice.

Man, you seriosly used this???

bummer !

never use brainwallet bro

i used "correct horse battery stable" (changed the p to a b) and they were gone in 3 seconds

it's like someone was looking specifically for a stable to connect the horse batteries together.    

What was your passphrase?  You can at least spread the word for others to not use brainwallets.

I still can't believe what happened and feel like paralyzed.

Everyday after waking up and uncountable moments through my day I'm trying to figure out what happened and what I'm going to do now?!

I was thinking for a long time before making the decision to buy bitcoins,
and I said to myself I'm going to keep them for at least 2 years and I did not have the intention to sell them quickly whatever the price may be.

I had it in my exchange since I bought them and decided to move them out in the beginning of march,
because I was afraid something like GOX could happen.
Even though I had my 2factor authentication I wanted it to be more secure.

At that time I really believed it was more secure than keeping it in kraken which was my exchange.
I'm not an expert in Cryptocurrency,
but I thought I had some knowledge about computer and the internet,
so at that moment I really did it with the best of my abilities and knowledge.

I know I am the only one to blame for it
and in retrospective I should have gathered more information about securing bitcoins but I didn't.
And now I'm paying the price for my ignorance.

I'm fighting with myself in probably thousands of moments not to do something stupid because of that loss.
Then I'm trying to tell myself there are worse things that can happen,
but sometimes it just doesn't feel like it.

For some, that loss probably means not much,
but for me it really means a lot.

The reason why I was hesitating to give away details was,
I was realizing that there's nothing I can do anymore and nothing will bring it back.

Now I got encouraged to inform other people because the more I thought about it,
the more I have the desire to at least try to prevent something like that to ever happen again.
I really don't wish this to happen to anyone!
It is really an indescribable bad feeling.
If you're like me and something like that happens you probably will go to some dark places
and will consider making some stupid decisions…

sorry for my long post
I don't feel better now, but maybe I can raise some awareness towards the security of your bitcoins
and make some people think again about how they secure their bitcoins.

Tough luck

Sadly no recovery hopes

Sorry to hear.
Whatever you lost, it's the price of the lessons you just learned, I suppose.

Tough shit though.

It is very sad to hear this. Hope you didn't loose much

I see you are online so I will ask again:  if you want us to try and help you then post the transaction ID of the transaction that transferred the coins out of your account.  Otherwise we cannot help you.

I don't think so. He hasn't posted his BTC address. So he is definitely not here to beg.

Or maybe the loss is just too devastating...

Security is paramount in crypto. All of the problems that cryptocurrency solves ie: quick and easy to send, no charge backs - Also make it easy to steal.

You have to be incredibly careful with your dough, it's like carrying around bars of gold on your person in a bad neighborhood, find a place safe to store it!

or maybe he is just telling a lie

The OP hasn't made any posts here for the last 48 hrs. I think that he is gone.
