I'm sure this has happened a lot in the early days of Bitcoin.
There have been a few threads here on BCT about people
loosing coins through various reasons.
I personally know of a user who totally forgot they had coins
in a wallet on the hard drive of the computer from 2013,
luckily they hadnt changed the PC or disposed of it.
The interest was ignited again last year when they read
a news article about Bitcoin and luckily they were able
to retrieve the coins !
Topic: Lost around 5BTC in 2013... Time to start again - page 2. (Read 1905 times)
Its pretty normal. They estimate that around 1 million bitcoins has been lost forever. This makes the total supply much lower than the 21 million. Thus the value of the coin should be higher.
Well the best thing to do right now is to have some BTC again, I mean invest some of your money again right now. And with that you can start again. Actually that is great of you saying that starting in bitcoin right now is easy. You've lost 5 btc which makes you having 25000 usd right now if that thing didn't happened.
I've lost a lot of bitcoin because got hacked, then loses a lot in trade, in gambling. Indeed when I lose in big amounts usually my spirit started down.
but in the end, I will rise up and be sure to get a lot more when looking at the price of bitcoin is always increase, there my spirit to recovery.

You have to believe in your ability, know everyone who has a good future of course he must have experienced a failure or loss, but this is where you should be more excited and learn from your failures so it does not happen again in the future, I'm sure. . You can start it again and learn from your previous experience, do not forget I say this welcome back in bitcoin world
Well, back in 2015 when I got into Bitcoin, I actually lost about $15 (worth $150 or more with current rate, possibly $1000+) while trying to sell it to an exchanger. I felt really bad and had to quit, but returned when price went up high to $2000plus. I still managed to cope with and I’m okay with what I have now.Good to know you didn't let it knock you too far and you got back up and running!

If first you don't succeed (learn some more) and try, try again!!!

So back in 2012 / 2013 I was quite involved with the Crypto scene, and invested in a mining rig (good old days!) After around a year or so, I managed to mine LTC, trade BTC etc and had somewhere in the region of 5BTC. As the prices all started to plummet, I turned the rig to a desktop computer and stupidly left all of my coins in Cryptsy. Easily done for someone who understood the basic fundamentals of the Crypto world, but not all of the security to go with it.
I managed to recover about 0.2BTC from old wallets etc, and although kicking myself that I could have a life changing amount of money, I've come to a conclusion that I just need to build a bridge and start again!
My question to you all is have you ever experienced anything like this? How did you find the motivation to start again? And what do you think are the best ways nowadays (as i'm 4 years out of touch) at getting back to that milestone of 1BTC in my wallet?
Thanks,

I guess it's just a matter of time. nothing is too late for that.
I experienced as you told me. but I try to re-engage with bitcoin. I explore knowledge again, day by day. and to date. I can enjoy a bit of the bounty of bitcoin.

5 btc is a lot and im sure there are some people there who did experienced the same situation of yours.5 btc on those years are not really much at all this is why we wont really bother or even take value of those coins and done something not really worth it at all and now prices has changed and now we would start to regret but its not yet over and we can still able to stand up again.I managed to recover about 0.2BTC from old wallets etc, and although kicking myself that I could have a life changing amount of money, I've come to a conclusion that I just need to build a bridge and start again!

For me, the motivation is to think of the future of Bitcoin and you will have the energy to go on.
All the best to you and hope you work hard to get 5 BTC back soon.

That's a sad story with the Op. None could have thought that bitcoin will grow to such a bigger price. With such a thinking he could have left. Now the reality might have made him to try to recover and get a life changing experience as the price keeps on increasing and reach higher prices.
In as much as Bitcoin is really the deal, this is one of the issue that use to make me think otherwise sometimes.
I remember last year, I forget my password and pass phrase to my bitcoin. Its quite painful I can't recover it back till now. All I had to do was to move on.
OP, you have to move on, I know it hurts knowing how much you might have missed but this is something out of our control.

I'm seeing it as a learning curve. It's not so much I regret losing the 5btc, obviously it sucks, but if I saw BTC hit 1k I may have sold. Too many ifs and buts, however it's all a learning curve, and it's taught me a massive amount!
