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."

I know a lot of cases when people lost their bitcoins due to similar reasons. So it should be as rule to have back up at least in 3 places

That's a bad news to him but the good news is lesson learned he have i think the best part of it is now back up his data in Ledger Nano Hardware fully protects his bitcoin.

Ledger isn't the be it and end all. You can still lose it and it can still break. If you don't have your private keys backed up then your going to lose a lot if the hardware fails. I don't understand why so many people think the ledger and Trezor is unbreakable and you'll never lose coins. People have lost coins from not backing up. It protects you against malware and thats it.

Oh my god, that is such a big amount, if I have that amount and lose it, maybe I will be a crazy man right now. Imagine the amount, if I have it I can make my dreams come true.
I hope his/her can recover his/her bitcoins whatever it takes. So sorry to hear this news, but we can take this story as a lesson for us, so it wont happen again in the future.

First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold

if in cryptocurrency of course if it is gone then it will not come back but it if the loss is stolen by others but if it lost it because it forgot its key then there is hope that it could come back if later one day the key is found

yes there must be a related party who took your bitcoin because it was a long time ago and the person would already know going up the bitcoin price so if it is gone well yah can not come back because first you rarely open your wallet so people can take your bitcoin because it has no longer active

BabelFish - FISH Token Sale at Sovryn

I am curious to know how many bitcoins are stuck like this. Because this will affect the overall market when the price reaches $50000 or more. We have seen lots of examples who lost their bitcoins for various reasons and it may go beyond thousands.

This makes the amount of bitcoin that existing is decrease, it will couse to the increasing price of bitcoin and volatility. I hope there is no such thing anymore.

If I'll be on his situation I couldn't sleep for many nights of thinking of it.
The setback of e-wallet is you don't have any means to recover it if you lost it by your own stupidity.

This kind of stories always makes me feel like this is a big makor flaw in bitcoin wallet storage design. I think you should be able to make word phrases or so forth to recover lost funds stored in wallets. See with like wallets like coinbase or xapo you have some safety i think. Personal wallet storage like on computer or paper wallets kind of leave you screwed if computer fails or you loose paper.

I myself looked at the balance and sympathized with this guy.
But I can not imagine how offensive to him. Especially since he could now sell 103 Bitcoins for such a good price ....

It really says something about the security that bitcoin has. EVen with people all around to see your money they can't get to it. ALthough in this case, even the owner. So let's be careful guys!

This has nothing to do with bitcoin security, if you lose your wallet, your money is gone, that's the same principle here

I wonder what this guy is feeling right now.
He maybe lost his mind right now losing that big amount of bitcoin.
I feel so sad for this guy.

we must make an experience, because a little mistake can result in the loss of bitcoin in large quantities. that is very harmful because we can see the value of 103 bitcoin is very high and we must keep it safe to avoid it.

I would find this gut wrenching. Poor guy. Happy it isn't me.

I know a guy who has 10-20 BTC on a hard drive that he threw away (he is convinced he had them anyways).

Poor guy

I dont feel sorry for him, reckless people shouldnt be rich anyway.

Oh c'mon I've lost some altcoins that way too, fortunately small amounts. It happens, you format your drive, malware, hardware failure etc. It must feel really bad to lose that much.

This is not a big deal because other lost even 5000 of them for Pizzas and are rueful so 103 even though it's huge can be negligible since it's a small price to pay compared to others that have lost their bitcoins in similar fashion.
