This is how my dream of becoming a millionaire was shattered by my ignorance...pls is their a narrow escape to my misfutune?

I have this kind of experience and I have learned from it that never imagine being rich because of crypto before we really cashing it out and be in our bank account. Because it may be the only digit and it is changeable due to the price at the time, probably hacked, and other digital problems.
That is why we must be only thinking about what we are having now and at the time we are buying and selling to get profits. And that is what we have.
be patient.

And with this, there are also some lessons to be more careful, moreover, we may do wrong things in certain platform so that we lose our money there. This is sad, but this is something common happening in the crypto world.

Based on my little experience in the currency market four years ago, then I was still in the university then trying to make pocket money from little of my trading ideas. You know buying a particular currency pairs at the bottom while selling at the top with few of my trading strategies like the Bollinger bands, RSI and and the moving averages.

I decided to invest in Bitcoin with the help of my new friends who are into Bitcoin trading and investments. Although at that time I didn't have substantial knowledge on how bitcoin works so, I decided to invest all my hard earn money to the extent I sold my most precious treasure which is my classical Guitar that I always use for my musical classes. Then my dream was to keep my Bitcoin for at least 1 years for it to appreciate more before selling it so I could be as rich compared to my local government chair lol. My dream!

I was working then so I decided to apply for mini jobs so as to get extra money to buy more bitcoins cause I wasn't getting enough from my currency trading. I was able to acquire 2.25 Bitcoin worth $18,000. As at 2017 one bitcoin worth about $8,000. Then the only popular crypto wallet in my region was Blockchain, so i was using it to store my Bitcoin. After a while I venture into Bitcoin investments. Never new they're all Ponzi scheme...I lost half of my Bitcoin to Ponzi scheme cos I was a novice to the cryto world.

I almost go mad when I realized that my dream of become a big boy is almost shattered. I was pain in which I couldn't think straight losing more than $9,000 worth of bitcoin. I lost focus, I couldn't continue my musical training cause my classical guitar, my enthusiasm is almost gone. I decided to dump everything about crypto currency giving it a break. I also deleted my Blockchain wallet from my phone.

Last year during the early stage of convid 19, I could remember that I had bitcoin somewhere so, I went in search of it. I reinstalled my Blockchain wallet but I couldn't logged in cos it's was asking me of my private keys. I've searched every corners, books, dairies but still couldn't find my private keys.
At least I should have not less than 1.1 bitcoin in my wallet which could worth more than $70,000. Converting this money to my country currency makes me a millionaire.

This is how my dream of becoming a millionaire was shattered by my ignorance...pls is their a narrow escape to my misfutune?

This is what often happens to beginners. Never evaluate and analyze before. My advice if you want to invest use cold money or money that is not for personal use, or even to sell personal needs. Or worse, owe someone. This is often wrong .. because we never know what bitcoin will be like. And make sure if you have a wallet, store the keys in various alternatives. so you don't regret it later.

Blockchain.info could help you recover your fund, provided you still have access to the email used in registration! I have gone through this experience myself and I have come out regaining access to my bitcoin! Try and use all tools for recovery of your wallet and contact the customer support as well! I am sure you will find a solution if you truly own the wallet!

As far as I know, Blockchain info is a non-custodial wallet and they give you a recovery phrase in the process of creating a wallet. I am doubtful that blockchain info would give access to him but It wouldn't hurt if OP would try contacting customer support.

I hope OP did learn his lesson to keep his wallet like his own treasure. There are many cases like this, Mostly are newbies.

I mean you are not the first and you are not the last one to suffer from this problem, i mean the guy who also lost his private key to his wallet that holds a fortune and we are talking millions of dollars, was featured all over international news a couple of months ago, people should take better care of any sensitive information that involves money, and especially bitcoin since the only thing that identifies you and allows you to be the owner of your wallet is your private key and you can never retrieve it if you lose it.

This should be a lesson to all of us, even if for some reason you are disappointed by what is happening in the world of cryptocurrencies it is important to not take decisions when you are mad or sad, the OP deleted the wallet from his phone and did not had a backup and now he is paying the consequences of it, we must remember to always have backups of our seed words and if possible our private keys so something like this does not happen to us.

Me too, almost made me a fortune if I had hold on to it. Like in December 2020, Bitcoin was around $12,000 to $16,000 and I've decided to convert them to USDT. Until the big pump happened to $20k, then $30k and up to $60k. However, it would be smart for me to buy it early and sell as the price peaked to $60k. Now BTC is over $30k, and I believe that this will be the new bottom (or maybe not due to the death cross). Risk management is still important, as we should learn about diversifying our investments.

Timing is very important, if you have good knowledge and your assessment leads you to anticipate what the

market may bring you, the chance that you can sell it within the peak is very possible, though for now it's

all regret for missing that opportunities, you need to try working again and see if the same movement

will return back and give you the same chance.

Often we are saying why I never hold them until today we might be rich now.
-snip-

Of course, that's very easy to say now in retrospect. But apply that to the current situation ... would you sell now?

Imagine the price crashes now down to 10k, you would be angry not to have sold. In retrospect it is of course a very easy decision, but from the current situation, BTC could now also turn upwards again and we are for example in September again at 60k. Then you would of course be very angry to have sold at 30k.

All of us have to wonder what we gonna do to our Bitcoin before when the value is just only $1,000, $5,000. Often we are saying why I never hold them until today we might be rich now. It comes too late to realize the wrongdoings, it all has been done and I think we need to move on. Because whether we like it or not, it never happens again and we can take back those Bitcoin that we wasted so easily.

People can't really hold their Bitcoin IRL, that is the truth. We use them as it was the purpose of its creation, not just to hold and let them stay on our wallets until they become worthless.

I have worst experience, i have 30 bitcoin in my wallet in 2014. Start trading with 5 bitcoin. But in 2016 i sold half of my btc and another half is scamed by cryptsi ( this is why i never left my btc on centralised exchange ever again ). Second chance was 2020 of march when btc down to $3k. I am too busy for my real world job so i bought in btc again when it $20k. 😅😅.

Now i will just hodl it. Go zero or rich i dont care...

actually for now you still have a profit even though the price of bitcoin fell sharply. but I applaud your stance which is adamant to keep holding bitcoins until your goal of becoming rich is achieved. exemplary is that you buy assets with cold money, so it will help psychology to stay focused on the goal

Seeing the current market that is trending down for me, I think holding on to it is the right decision,
indeed everyone has their own reference to the decisions made,
for me bitcoin is a long term asset so better to hold on to it

Lots had really missed out that opportunity to buy cheap since no one really had anticipated that bitcoin would really be having some nasty run to reach out 60k and for sure even myself had missed out that chance to make myself rich or a bit wealthy since i could buy several coins when it was still cheap.

Well, theres no need to regret because we cant really turn back the time and those missed opportunities are just part of our memory that bitcoin did really
reach out those levels.

Although, it doesnt mean that we had missed out we wont be seeing another opportunity.This is why we should really be wise on getting in specially for possible bottom of it on this current trend.

I have also account of Blockchain.info, and afew month ago I did try to login by used email account. If any account created by using email, should be any way to recover the private key. But for personal wallet that created without email, the way to login only by private key. Lost private key for these personal wallet is mean loss the crypto forever, no body can recover it. That why when I created personal wallet, I never forget to write down the private key in several different paper and keep it in several different place too.

The email thing should give you a decent lead around there. In any case, I trust others take in some things from your pitiful story not to erase wallet application without duplicating out imperative information, regardless of how furious one is. About blockchain, perhaps if OP can recollect his secret word or I mean when we make blockchain wallet from the start we not get private key right, just ID which is in email and secret phrase that we save without anyone else.

I think, that bitcoin only becomes more valuable from the fact, that someone forgets or loses the private keys from their wallets. The number of coins will only decrease every year, except of mining.

If you use blockchain then you Should check your mail which was blockchain.info which is now converted to blockchain.com if you search on you email you might get that email where you get your private key i hope soo. But remember private is not only needed to open that account because you also needed password too. Without both of them you can't get it. And one more thing if you had that email you can request for your private key. Which they will give you. I suggest you to read there faq section where you will get all information. Hope you might get a solution otherwise sorry for your loss.

for what i know when it comes blockchain even you don't need a password wherein only wallet id and the Gmail you use to register in it, you're able to recover your account.. Yes that's true and i remember that way when i forgot my password in it..

First i check my gmail that i used to register on blockchain wallet and then i see password checkup option within my gmail account and i figure it out that's where i save all my passwords in different sites.

And boom i can view all the private information in different site or wallet in just a seconds . ^{Such gmail and password}. Indeed if you use the same password with your other account it will be visible on it as well.

And also if you activated the 2FA you need more days before you will receive a notification because thats what happened to me actually.. I thought i was in a wrong gmail but after days i see some messages from blockchain wallet.. You need to wait especially if you abandoned your wallet for a long time. I hope this can help..

Almost , Magic word? if it's not for you then don't expect much.

but anyway you are lucky to experience such because tit was not been awarded for everyone the chance.

Wish you may find a way to finally becoming a millionaire.

He just made a mistake dealing on a fake wallet, and the result is very frustrating for him. Yes, if you think at the value right now of BTC, you’re already a Millionaire but since its not time for you yet, some unfortunate incidents happened. This is a lesson to be learned for everyone, and hoping that OP will come back stronger and don’t give up on your dreams, God has a plan so keep moving forward, you’ll succeed soon.

Looking back, bitcoin almost made me a billionaire if I realized what was happening right now. I am quite sure that since I know and do business from the crypto world, I already have more than 1 bitcoin. however nowadays the price of bitcoin is really high, even with 1.5 bitcoins, you can become a rich man. it's just that, urgent needs, as well as the FUD that existed in the past, made many of us sell our assets even at low prices.

Fuds hurt cause even you are not in need but once fear eat you up there no way you can avoid selling your asset.

There are many same a like stories that now a past that we needed to overcome, those regrets should not be the reason to keep us
away from trying our best again, we do have that experienced and for sure it will benefits us in taking our chances again, don't look back but instead push forward and allow fate to dictate your success.

Which is why one of the best strategies we have in the market is to simply buy bitcoin and then forget about it, bitcoin is not like altcoins in which you could lose your coins if you do not exchange them for new ones as it happens all the time in that market, you can buy bitcoin and just keep it in your wallet and it is going to be safe.

I know this can be difficult especially if you are enthusiastic about this market and you are always reading about how the price is doing, but when there is FUD this can be counterproductive as you will have many more opportunities to make the mistake of selling your coins for a bad price, and that is the kind of mistake that can haunt you for life especially if you had a lot of bitcoin and you sold them before the market skyrocketed.
