Topic: Story time! Lost coins & Regrets - Let's bring back a little bit of nostalgia. (Read 386 times)

I accept that there's a generally excellent possibility that every individual who utilizes any brought together trade for the medium term has lost coins to them since they were hacked, shut or misled and took their cash.

I have lost an excellent deal of money along these lines however I even have no second thoughts as I even have consistently contributed what I could bear to lose and from the very beginning i do know alright that these trades can

I can honestly say that I have never made a successful altcoin trade. The stuff I got for free I always sold just before it exploded. The little stuff I bought always plummeted the moment I bought in. Luckily I recognise how useless I am so massively limited my noodling.

I once lost a lot of money on altcoin so I know what it feels like, when ICO lending like pagarex and others became a trend I felt their project was legit but in reality when their ICO was over they ran off with investors money and until now I still regret the incident.

I lost around 0,2 BTC in a platform called Atlas Quantum, their high returns made me greedy enough to send that amount to them but after a while they started having problems and freezed all accounts. Not such a big loss but a big lesson.

Never really much of a hoarder, I actually only properly thought about saving a bit every now and then in 2017, and by the time it all blew up, I had a paltry sum to look at on. I guess I should feel some regret in that sense, but I actually don't, because everything only potential until you actually use it. I'm quite happy that I was part of what made it popular as a currency, even though I only came late (2016). I may not have as much as those who started later, but I enjoyed a lot of good food, good friends, good entertainment and good travel just by using Bitcoin. Met quite a few people also just happy to be part of this great big social experiment.

Lost coins? Never lost anything I guess, other than in ill-advised investments on them damned offerings. But hey, live and learn.

I'm sorry for your bad experience. That is the cryptocurrency with all things unpredictable. I also experienced the same thing but did not lose as much as you, I only lost around 400 $, after investing in a project that was quite popular at the time, but ended up like miracletele.

It's okay friends, many people experience things like this, do not regret it because it will increasingly make it difficult. Better to move on and make it a lesson.

I thought i would never have the opportunity to talk about this but now I am glad I have this opportunity to share my thoughts. I would just get down to the biggest loss ever in my life. Well, I lost about 3 BTC in alts. I had a token called MiracleTele and the token rose quite high but I still held unto my coins not willing to sell, thinking that this coin will be great in the future.
Now, this token is worth nothing as the project seems dead now.

I guess every Bitcoin user who is involved with Bitcoin long enough has something to regret, so it's my case too.
About five years ago I had a portfolio of about 7 Bitcoins. I made some bad decisions and choice and I lost those Bitcoins. Now I know I should have done it different but that was a school for me and I learned a lot. But I regret I missed the opportunity to have some real nice profit. I never managed to get these 7 Bitcoins back and having in.mind current situation I don't think I ever will.

My big lost was around 5 btc and never managee to recovered it  my binance account have been hacked and someone toke all my coin. Why do you say xrp is a shit coin? the 3th biggest project after btc and eth....

Sharing experiences to reduce sadness: D I hope we can get lessons from stories shared by friends, and this is my experience

• 1. If it is accumulated there is around 0.05 BTC missing from my wallet. It was a reward from a content campaign, I didn't expect to be one of the winners and I was very happy at that time and planned to hold it for long-term investment. But, one month later when I checked the wallet, the BTC was gone and had been transferred to another wallet that I didn't know belonged to, which obviously belonged to a fu*king thief, upss sorry. My email was hacked too.
• 2. Back to point 1
• 3. A mistake that was almost regretted by everyone involved in cryptocurrency: too rushed to sell coins or tokens, at that time I was affected by fomo, even though a few weeks later the coin that I hold pump + 25%. But I have moved on, I always try to respect the decisions I make, this is my mental training, no problem not getting the highest price, as long as it does not lose.

Maybe 1 btc or more and to those times when im still a fan on joining HYIPs/Ponzis. 
0.5 when i do go all in with Hashocean back in the day.


When im still fauceting ETH wayback and havent realize or late that i should have bought tons of it.

As for the number 1. Question – I can’t really tell how much I have lost in BTC. That was around 2015 I guess. I was just a newbie then and I never knew how to sell my bitcoins for cash, so I stupidly went to this local online forum in my country and was asking for buyers. Then a guy said he’s going to buy it from me, for once in my mind I didn’t even think that he was a scammer, I don’t know why I made such a mistake.

So, I messaged him and asked him how we will be doing the business and he said I would have to send the bitcoins first before he will send the money to my bank account. I sent the bitcoins and he refused to send the money and he blocked me on WhatsApp and even on call. That’s when it dawned on me and I realized how stupid I was by trusting a random stranger that I met online. The amount I sent to him was $20, and that was through Xapo wallet, I don’t know how many Satoshis, but the price of Bitcoin then was around $250.

I think this same answer goes for both Question 2 and 3, because after that I never lost my bitcoins again, I never repeated the same mistake and I learnt to be very careful. So that’s the only thing I regret and it’s never going to happen to me again, I’ve already learnt a lesson.

Not an OG obviously but I learnt about Bitcoin in 2011 I believe. I remember having claimed some BTCs from 'tap faucets', I'm not sure if it was Gavin's faucet or somebody else who was running it at that time, But I claimed like twice by filling out the captchas. It wasn't much I believe around 0.01 BTC at max which were lost to a random BTC address. I didn't even bother creating a new Bitcoin address for myself. I sent it to a random Bitcoin address I found by doing a google search lol... Fortunately, I haven't lost any Bitcoins ever since I started using it personally. No lost wallets or getting hacked. I did lose access to my account tho, I got hacked lol but fortunately, theymos recovered it for me after a few months that's the only "loss" I have had in the cryptosphere...

The only thing I regret is selling Bitcoins at the "moons", I remember i hodled a few Bitcoins when bitcoin was hovering at around $200 bucks, I sold them in the $900 range, I bought back in when bitcoin kinda crashed at went as low as around $300 I believe. I bought in at around $400 and then sold again when bitcoin mooned at around $1200. Even tho I made some great ROIs but I regret selling them now. I remember i sold around 5 BTCs right before we had the biggest Bullrun. Besides that my journey has been quite a positive one overall.

1. In 2014 I lost my first BTC because I thought blockchain could log in using email and finally I lost 0.01 BTC because my email was hacked.
2. Never
3. I still remember buying NXT on ATH because I was greedy to get lots of IGNIS airdrops and I regret that I spent a lot of money to buy NXT.

I'm blessed that I have never lost any BTC before because I made sure that my wallets are safe. I only invested what I could afford so I don't remember losing a huge amount of BTC. The biggest regret that I have is losing the opportunity to buy Bitcoin in 2010 where a friend already shared everything about crypto with me. Everything happens for a reason so I'm trying to work hard just to gain better this year.

Wow. That's all I can say - wow.. that's a lot of damn money..


It's my pleasure.

I am an early user of a faucet, I started collecting and referring faucets way back early 2014.  I never had a chance to cash out my earnings on that faucet because I forgot my access to the address.  I have somewhere around 200 plus referral, but just shrugged it out and just moved on.  If I may, I could have earned a good amount on that address already.

Another thing is during the Bitcoin bull run of 2017, I hold around 12 BTC and sold it at an early stage of the bull trend, which was around $2000 and after 3 months Bitcoin reached its ATH.

1. I've never lost BTC. I've always used a trusted wallet, and I've never encountered any problems with it. I did lose 0.5 Ethereum, though, which back then cost $150, and it was quite a significant amount of money. I lost it to Ethereumwallet.net or something like that (I wasn't good with 'not your keys not your coins thing' back then, and the website was pretty popular).
2. Zero, since I haven't lost any.
3. I regret buying Ripple when it cost $3 per coin  I did not spend much on that investment, though.

Like a fool I had all my Bitcoin and others on Cryptsy.  So when that exchange up and disappeared I lost a total of roughly 3 BTC.  The whole situation put me off crypto currency all together and I have not rejoined it since.

I do from time to time pop in to see whats going on the world of crypto, but not as a participant.

I lost 50.000 xrp through the shit exchange cryptsy. At that time xrp were not worth much and it didn't bother me. Only when xrp had reached a price of 4 dollars, it annoyed me. But I survived it and xrp is still a shit coin.
