A guy could be a millionaire right now... And reading this story, I want to remind all investors-very attentive to the way you store your bitcoins, it is no less important than the purchase itself.

It is good most of us weren't around that time when bitcoin was mined in such large numbers, most of us would have been in the same situation if not
all of us. Currently, we've heard stories like this and learnt our lessons from them.
Everyone is cautious with their login details now.

The person had 103 btc is the luckiest person now.But I don't know why he keep some additional security for the wallet.
If I had that 103 btc,I will quite my current job .And enjoy my every second of my life.Now the value of 1 btc is 9500$,103 bitcoin means.It will around 100,000$ .With that I will become a rich person in this society.

Dude, I am sure, he had been behaving to this btc careless, because they were cheap.
I think It feels like: imagine a token, the price which is 0.001$ and you don't know what will happen to this coin, do you really think you will save it like the apple of eye (idiom) ?

So how did he lose it? Does he still have the hard drive? If so I would suggest not using it, and scanning it with software that restores deleted files.

I am not good in software, but, for example, if I had deleted my files on my hard drive, and then I have been saving this drive for 5-6 years. Does software able to restore deleted data ?

A sad story, but this once again confirms that you need to be very attentive to everything that you do, especially if it concerns earnings. Too expensive a mistake the guy.

For those who lost their bitcoins or sold too early, there is still a chance to build significant wealth since this bull market is still young.

I feel sorry for the guy for that big losts. 103 btc is really a big amount to be lost and it feels really frustrating. I just hope he can still recover his bitcoin and will store it safely.

It will be hard to recover any bitcoin if he lost his wallet.dat or disrupted it without any backup. That's unfortunate but there is no way to save.
It is the lesson for everyone that we should save our wallet file or private key safely.

This is a story that deserves attention. But not worth to think about what not return. You just need to think about the future and learn more about the technology of where you invest. Wink

It would be very cool to have such a sum of bitcoins. But do not be upset because of the loss. If fate decides, everything will return and the chances of becoming a millionaire there will be more.

 Precisely the reason as to why we are advised to be careful with out keys,  There is a necessity to always back these wallets up in paper writings or printed and kept somewhere safe where we can always access them,anything can happen and we can forget our keys, Backing them up somewhere gives you the chance to access them anytime there is is need,or an event where you forget, its unfortunate that there is nothing that can be done about it now. The coins will remain untouched

wow ... 103 BTC is not a small amount !!!
everybody must think to petrify or try to reopen the locked wallet, but have you ever thought about fraud ?? this is just my speculation only, but what is wrong to be careful to access the wallet's address, if there is any suspicious better do not access at personal computer, just to anticipate things that are not in want

Yeah, sorry about the loss. Now this guy could have nothing not to deny himself. But you know, I think there are enough coins today that cost as little as bitcoin in 2011. All you have to do is be patient.

In those days, 103 bitcoins was just like today few satoshies, it wasn't even up to 200 USD so no one will be worried of losing such amount. But about 7 years down the line is almost a big money now and any one with that wallet will be hitting his head onto the wall.

There are a lot of bad stories about losing bitcoin. The most offensive, in my opinion, is 10 000 BTC for two pizzas.

That's a sad story. I'm extremely careful with my files, I would never imagine what may have been my reaction if I was that guy.
I'm so sorry for that damage, he invested time and electricity in that mining years, I won't recommend even to my worst enemy one thing like that

He isn't the only one, many lost based on improper enlightenment about bitcoin and the important of keeping your private key safe.... Most even didn't know bitcoin will later be accepted by many now and they kept their private key unsafe...

This guy has lost 103 bitcoins he mined back in 2011 and then lost his wallet dat file similar to what I have done but wow this guy must be gutted the amount of money he has lost compared to me  

His Address    166BuLPWHUjqoqiYp5rGE3B5r5AmqgHpoL    Final Balance   103.20832384 BTC

So many people have the same problem and I wonder just how much Bitcoin is stuck not being able to be used Sad

He says "I used to mine Bitcoin back in 2011 and I lost my wallet.dat file (through several stupid moves on my part). It's got approx 103 BTC in it, anyone is welcome to it, I've given up trying."






This is terrible news and I do not want it to happen to me and even to other Bitcoiner. Some might go into extreme depression when this will happen to them. I hope you will have a way to recover what you have lost friend. You deserve those BTC and you must have it back through earning it again here at Bitcoin world. Anyway, there are so many ways on how to earn bitcoin. Good luck!
