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.
Topic: Lost around 5BTC in 2013... Time to start again - page 3. (Read 1905 times)
It is not a small amount of money they you left but good to hear that you start again. It is the easy way to start again where you stopped.
welcome back to cryptoworld mate after 5 years just asking is your coins left in crpytsy? did you sell all your coin or just left it there until the cryptsy shut down the service? imagine that you still your 5 btc today have 20k dollars! good thing you have recovered 0.2btc in your wallets to start with i hope this time you will not leave the cryptospace good luck!
Thank you! I left the coins in Cryptsy just to "come back to them later" after seeing the price crash etc. As I mention, I was quite involved with the technical side of things but stupidly didn't take too much notice about the security side of things. It's a shame, it really is, but I gotta start building back up. At the moment, i'm trading alts and will continue to do so until I hold a nice amount of BTC. I'm also going to look into the signature campaigns etc, as every little helps!
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,

It is alright if you lose around 5 bitcoins but if you will compute it then it is already a high amount of money but it is not too late to get into bitcoin again because you can still make and earn bitcoins in the future because it takes hard work and determination before you get that 5 bitcoins again and i believe that anyone can have that characteristics.
Thankful I have never experienced that. I just saved a bit of Bitcoin and chose not to use it. And how can you lose 5BTC. 5 Bitcoin is a huge amount for this year. I hope you can start from the beginning by forgetting the bad memories.
I lost it simply by not understanding the security side of things 4 years ago. I was quite involved with all the technical side of things, mining etc but never really thought about the security side of things. All a learning curve I guess!
Oh no its really very sad news for you.I think its better to forgot the past.5BTC means big amount at this moment.Now you have to come back newly.Now You can hold good potential coins for future.
Sorry to hear about your losses. 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.
All the best to you and hope you work hard to get 5 BTC back soon.
last year i formated some hdd with the keystore of 1000 shift, that was my lesson to always back up the private keys
as long as you stay in the game a are active you will earn. keep it up and dreams may come true. i also started with nothing but came a long way.
dont look back.. look into the future!

Well i don't have any experience with lost coin,but i do have regret for leaving crypto in 2014 because the price is drop hard
So now i don't have a choice but to start over,i mean there is no harm in doing it and i can make profit too if i do this right

Much like me I guess! Just a few years behind, but still understand the ins and outs! Onwards and upwards!
This is so sad to read 5 btc with today value and ever rising prices it will increase that's a huge loss. What you can do is move on and start once more, see the motivation is the rising price and financial freedom, see if you want to earn Bitcoins it will be small but will grow as per your Rank and efforts. Enroll in a signature campaign that will help you earn some coins quickly, if you can sell some services or products then you can do that here. It will take time but stick to it and you shall reap good benefits just this time don't mess up and use a strong wallet not exchanges to store coins.
One thing that's a certainty is that I won't be storing on exchanges anymore!! Thanks for the motivation
hehehe....i believe you specaulating you lost 20000$ worth BTC but thats not completely truth because back there that was just around 1000$ which equal 0.25BTC today. What if BTC today wouldnt be wort a penny would you care that you lost 5BTC in 2013? So leave the regrets behind and jump on BTC rocket! You might will have 20 x fold in value by 2021!
I get what you're saying, and everyone will eventually regret selling early. I think the best thing to do is to set a goal, sell when you hit the goal and be happy with it. I know whoever spent 10000BTC on pizza will be kicking themselves, but back then it would have been amazing to get free pizza! It's one of them things, but i'll set my goals, hold and sell when I know i'll be happy with the outcome!
I feel for you man buy you are not the only one. There are a load of people who also had alot of bitcoins early on but sold them or bought pizza's with them. Learn from this mistake and move forward. You don't want to be kicking yourself again when bitcoin hits 10k!
I am also one of them.Till now I earned about 3 BTC but from that Bitcoin, I have 0 Bitcoin now.I used all of them for various uses. I sold them for needed money.I used them for buy mobile recharge.I used them for buying VPS, VPN now sometimes also buy VPS.But now if I have those coin I can lead a good life and I can start a real life business with them...
Now I am trying to hold Bitcoin daily, next time I don't want to be the fool.e]
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
Thank you for the positive comments! I'm starting again with some minor trading of alt coins etc, and slowly but surely i'm building it back up!

Just ask you a simple question, why did you lose your 5 bitcoin. What was the reason? Did someone steal or hacked or you sell it out on a very low price and now you are telling us that you have lost 5 bitcoin in 2013. And if you or someone else has really lost his bitcoin then nothing to worry, because investing in coins Is like gambling. Some time you will win and sometime you will lose. Try again and you will succeed.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!

I stupidly left my BTC in Cryptsy, before properly understanding the security risks associated with doing such a thing.

I have lost 20/25 btc for trading in 2014. but still believe everything will comeback. so I just buy some altcoin I think good in that time.
I still believe that in the grand scheme of things were still very undervalued, even if we just have a single use case as a store of value, so its never too late to join and start up again. I joined in 2012 and I was a poor college kid at the time so I could only buy 5 with all the money I had. The key is to keep buying over a period of time. I wont ever be worth 100 million from bitcoin, but I believe if I hold enough I could have a comfortable life living off dividends and holding bitcoin partially.
Was just like you, I started in early 2013 and left after the "Silk Road" seizure when the bitcoin value went to hell.
The time I left the bitcoin I sold all my bitcoins thinking that is the end for bitcoin, but I was wrong! Now am back trying to make a decent living with bitcoin.
Hang in there, put yourself together, and take some time to watch videos for bitcoin success story on YouTube that will be enough to get your motivation back.

Glad to hear that you are an early adopter of bitcoin. Maybe before bitcoin is not yet popular and seems no future for it adding that it is used in fraud and other illegal activities.
To OP, 5 BTC now is too much already now, it gone so much appreciation but still its not not late. think its still too early to invest in bitcoin.
