I will not tell you anything you explicitly said you don't want to hear, just let me tell you thanks for sharing, this is a story of pain and sadness but at the same time a great reading. I went through it like through a well written book. Maybe you should consider writing a book mate?
I hope you recover completely, what is past is - well, past, and not worth allowing it impact this very moment.
What's done is done, though it really is a loss of such a huge opportunity it is not something that you have invested a lot of money maybe time, still somehow I know how the urge to share this comes from, also I agree we all need to have an outlet for our mind and ideas to share to and this things are surely not to be read just to feel much better and compare success from each other.
Numerous individuals could be in an indistinguishable circumstance from you are yet simply observe the things as they may be: you didn't lose millions. You lost just your venture
Many people could be in the same situation as you are but just see the things as they are: you didn't lose millions. You lost only your investment
Kind Sir,
Yesterday is History.
Tomorrow is a Mystery.
Today is a gift that is why it is called Present.
It's hard to swallow but most of the time lessons are learned once we experience it in life.
No one is certain on what will happen tomorrow.
But what you do today can change what you will be tomorrow.
Using your story we can see how we put little value of things that we already have.
Glad to know your parents are still alive and you are employed and working and earning a little more for yourself.
Glad to know that today you are active here in this forum and that you are far more knowledgeable than most of us newbies here.
Glad to hear that you only lost $80 max on something you did not know would be of value in the future.
Glad to know you had a new laptop when your old one was broken.
I have personally experience loosing around $1,000 and have to charge it to experience. I hear and know that there are a lot of people who loose more money even million just to learn the lessons of life.
I got depressed myself when I was younger and somehow at times I am reminded of the things I did or did not that might have been for better but who knows right?
Kind Sir, you might have lost 10,000 bitcoin... but I hope you have forgiven your Mother. You can always buy a bitcoin when you earn money or even try other Altcoins. I know your Mom only had the best thoughts for you and I know that she is feeling worse at your worst day. You may have regretted loosing 10,000 bitcoin that costed you $80, but I know it costs more for them in sending you to college and it pains them to see that you are not able to use your degree and potential as a person in full.
Thank you for writing your story. My dad died few years back and there are a lot of things I wish I did when he was still alive.
Goodluck to you Kind Sir and More Power.

you are a great guy, i appreciate this. and RIP to your father, i am sure he would be proud of you based off the way you seem to carry yourself. thank you. i will keep fighting.
We love to hear your story mate, I do believe that there's a reason why it happened to you. It's not too late to stand up. Do not live with your past. Learn lessons, stand up and move on. Even if bitcoin did not gave you fortune. You can be proud because you owned 10,000 btc in your life.
The first step would be to step back into reality and get to work.
Nice FAKE story ha ha. Prove what you said by providing bitcoin address and dates of transaction. Otherwise you are a liar.
I do not want to read this because it makes for painful reading and yet I couldn’t help it. Opened the thread and read your story. Made me depressed. I have to shift my thoughts to something else quickly.
I myself used to have 600+ bitcoins back in 2013 and I was happily trading them in the $100 range. Then something crazy happened. Authorities seized Liberty Reserve and I quickly dumped and sold all my coins on Bitstamp, thinking the price might dive and I might end up having worthless coins.
When I look back and think of what might or could have happened if I simply cold-stored them with a bullish belief in what the future might hold, I just shake my head in sadness.
10k coins. You could have retired young.

Wow. Could feel your emotions as I was reading the entire story. I cannot begin to think how I would feel in your place. I felt angry that I discovered bitcoin and the crypto world way too late(Was $1000 when I first discovered it), but I did not let that stop me. Instead, I was excited and began learning the basics of the crypto world and how the market worked which helped me earn huge profits until this point and I am confident that I will continue earning big profits in the future through bitcoin and other altcoins. Do not let this stop you and focus on moving forward and screw the weak suicidal thoughts.
Holy!
What a pain! Hope you are still good at all!
Anw, thanks for sharing

You are not the first nor last person to experience something like this. You could be miserable and do nothing or you can try to make your life better and be more grateful and simply try to backup everything. It is sad story but don't be harsh on yourself, easier said than done I agree. All I can say is you can still learn new things and get a better life. Who knows maybe you would have sold all your bitcoins when the price was 1k and now regret that even more. Thing is it happened it is the past, you still have time to make things right. Bitcoin is not the best opportunity of the century, there are opportunities around and you are the one who needs to find them.
Although I don't know if your story is true or not, since we had some people that come and tell these kind of made up stories, anyway hopefully this should be a good learning story to show new people that you want to have backups made, multiple of them and store in safe place if possible.

We have a long way to go and we have a lot of fork in the road. When we come to these fork breaks, we will hesitate either to the left or not to the right. It is like choosing a multiple choice when reading a book. Since you have chosen Bitcoin, you have to take that responsibility, although I sympathize with your experience.
i think i understand you. 10,000 bitcoin now is about 100,000,000 USD
if i was in your position, im gonna get depressed too.
if i was in your position, im gonna get depressed too.
The past is gone forever,we are human ban to make mistake and take wrong decision, Nice that you have move ahead, everyone always feel a loss in this space,the beauty is that opportunity still exist now and in the future, great mind fall and rise, clen he dust and keep moving
Move ahead. such experience prepare us for greatness but, it depends on you.
There are lot of opportunities within and outside the bitcoin niche In most case, people can see them as opportunity until they are realized by someone else.
This reminder about the foundation of facebook. The idea behind this network was not directly from Zukerberg but, being part of the other two guys, he visualize the idea and took action.
Final note: if, possible try locating the pendrive where the seller had installed the code
Thanks

what good will finding the pendrive do? i have no idea where it is.there is a small chance i still have it but it is likely someone in my family tossed it or lost it as it was a cheap used usb stick.
No, you didn't lose millions. You lost a couple hundred dollars.
I always see people crying, like: oh no, that pizza I bought could've been $1.5mm today, or oh no, I lost 5k BTC because I threw away my laptop. If anyone knew how much that 5k BTC would've been worth in the future, they'd create a heavily guarded and armoured building and put it in a secure vault facility. The only reason you were so careless with your coins is the fact that you could not have seen the future. I once had a wallet with 1500 BTC, which I lost. Do I cry about having missed out on millions? No. There are opportunities today, which you have to grab by the balls - lamenting over the past yields absolutely nothing.
To reiterate - saying "damn, I wish I had kept those 10,000 coins" is similar to saying "damn, I wish I had last week's lottery numbers" or "damn, I wish I was a time traveller". It's simply rubbish. Your life took its course, it cannot be changed, and honestly, there's no reason to feel bad. Consider it an expensive lesson, and move on to bigger and greater things. I believe in you.

I agree! back then the price is just a couple of penny don't over think about it, you just lost $80 dollar and back then there is no sure analysis that bitcoin's price going to pump up to the $18,000 or more, There are still time to recover your lost, even though bitcoin right now had a tremendous amount there are still other Coins out there that needs attention that in the future can still become big, back then in 2010 my friend have told me about bitcoin but I never had interest with it because of lack of knowledge with the blockchain system, And like you the year 2015 was the start of me getting into bitcoin and because of this forum site, I have learn so much, That is why it is not the end for us it is only the beginning.
I love to read your story dude. It's really a big lost on your part. You're supposed to be filthy millionaire. even not to work all the rest of your life interest alone of the money could support all your need.
Sometime the most neglected thing or person are the most valuable and important to us at the end.
Moral lesson. 'Pay attention to everyone seems not so important to you those can bring you fortune on the latter.'
Always remember dude 'life is more important than money don't linger on the past because past always bring regrets to us'.
Good that you vent.

Bro you are to tough on yourself. I have read about Bitcoin in 2009. What if I have tried...naaah cut the bull...
If you use that 10000 Bitcoins at that time, maybe you would buy two pizzas like that guy Laszlo
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1141
But even he got over it. Read his comments.

You can earn today a lot of money, why go to the past constantly. Live your life now. Death is all waiting for us that's for sure.
So don't waste the precious time anymore.
