I never loss a BTC because of forgotten wallet password or any other things,
I loss some BTC due to being greedy and joining some investment schemes,
I used to join so many BTC doubler back in the old days, I couldn't say that I regret it because I also earn a lot from it,
I am always a participant of dobtc.win and I usually get paid but when I feel like my investment wouldn't make it I tried to search for a similar site,
Then I found one and because of my greed I invested on the site not knowing that it was just a pure scam.

There's a huuuge difference between paper losses and coins you once owned that have actually left your custody. My own paper losses are in the hundreds of BTC but I'm not massively arsed as it was intangible and probably impossible to actually realise.
As for real losses it adds up to no more than some dust left on exchanges and giving it to morons who probably lost it, but as soon as it went to them it was no longer mine anyway.
Well, I don't think mine really counts as a paper loss. I had the alts on an exchange at the time and I was on the website just about to sell them for BTC but I said no. It was basically a missed opportunity. As for real losses it adds up to no more than some dust left on exchanges and giving it to morons who probably lost it, but as soon as it went to them it was no longer mine anyway.
I haven't lost any BTC since I got my first coin. I've never bought alts with my coins, I only have altcoins that I got for free or for a bit of bounty work.
The thing that I regret the most is not buying more BTC when I had the money. I was always cautious and tried to have some fiat and some crypto but going all in in 2016 would probably set me up for life. I don't regret holding altcoins because I treated it like a gambling bet.
Well, some of us have learned the hard way. I almost lost >0.5BTC due to a lost Blockchain wallet password, but I've recovered it many months (IIRC, it was close to an year) later.The thing that I regret the most is not buying more BTC when I had the money. I was always cautious and tried to have some fiat and some crypto but going all in in 2016 would probably set me up for life. I don't regret holding altcoins because I treated it like a gambling bet.
10 years later you might come here and say you wish you would've bought more BTC back in 2020. You never know - if history repeats, you will.

1. How much BTC did you lose ever since you started using crypto? How did you lose it?
2. What was the biggest BTC loss you've ever had?
3. What do you regret the most ever since you started using cryptocurrencies?

3. My biggest regret is that one my alts portfolio had passed 25BTC and I was so stupid and greedy to think it isn't enough.

I was wandering around on the forum and it looks like I ran out of threads to answer on. Therefore, I started randomly looking at some of the 2009-2010 posts on this forum and found a post about someone losing their 1.2BTC back in 2010. This made me wonder a few things I'm really curious about:
1. How much BTC did you lose ever since you started using crypto? How did you lose it?
2. What was the biggest BTC loss you've ever had?
3. What do you regret the most ever since you started using cryptocurrencies?
Now let me answer these 3 questions.
1. I think I've lost somewhere between 0.05 and 0.1 BTC. ~0.04BTC has been lost on exchanges and wallets forcefully asking me for ID and the rest has been lost through fake casino scripts automatically withdrawing my balance to their wallets once it reached a certain amount of BTC, without leaving even a single trace.
2. If we're talking about "loss" as in BTC sent to/stolen by someone else (or sent to nobody's wallet), it's somewhere around 0.01BTC. Otherwise... read answer no. 3 and you'll find out
3. My biggest regret is that one my alts portfolio had passed 25BTC and I was so stupid and greedy to think it isn't enough. Keep in mind the portfolio value after my last investment at the time was around 1BTC, so that's a 25x profit. And yes, if you're wondering, I've lost almost everything out of that portfolio thanks to a big dump in the markets. Stupidity pops up exactly when you need it the least, or at least this is how it works in my typical scenario.
Hence, I can consider my largest loss was somewhere around 25 BTC actually because I had that much in my alts portfolio and I never sold them all for BTC, although my gut feeling told me to do it.
What is your story? It would be more than interesting if some OG members would answer these questions. I'm wondering how much BTC did someone who's been using crypto since 2009-2010 lost in total.
