What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?
I don’t think to should believe your memory, write it down somewhere. Better to have it on paper in printed way, because your PC can be hacked. Put it in safe place, do several copies.

People should be aware how much important the key of a certain wallet there is something you can do to ensure that even if you forget you will still be able to access your wallet, mine is that I am currently using a metamask so its okay if I loss my key because all I need to remember is my password from it.

Omicron is another FUD
From my own understanding I think if someone forget the key to their Bitcoin wallet then their money will be of no use because they will not be able to access their wallet again. I remember, when I forgot the login details to my bitcoin wallet, my $100 in d said wallet was gone with it. 
really, Bitcoin that we have will be no longer owned because that Bitcoin like being in a hollow world...we should save very carefully, Private key, password Bitcoin wallet that we have, we must keep it good, so that something like this does not happen again...

It's impossible to recover a private key after its lost. The best thing to do is save your private keys in different places. Make sure they are saved securely. You can write it down on a paper and store the paper securely somewhere. I have seen different opinions regarding the idea of private keys.

As long as i know, there's no way to retrieve the key back, so once we lost and forget it, then it may be gone forever.
For me, i save the private key in many safe places, usually i put all of my password or important thing in one place because i forget easily, but kinda risky since if i lost it, i lost all.
That's why i make many backups. I think i'll be fine as long as the hackers won't try to hack my computer or my phone and find that document.

Actually  i have kept my private keys in written form in my personal diary and its the safest way to keep your private keys. Saving in Computer or laptop is risky because if it gets damaged you will lose all documents. So best if to keep your private keys in written form.It is the best idea to me. Wink : Smiley

You need to keep your wallet key in more than one place, for example you can keep it on hardware or software like inside your computer or like airdrop, take a white paper and maybe you need storage like an app that provides your key wallet storage.
Keep in mind, Keep away from those around you who know you have a cryptocurrency wallet.

I don't think there is remedy to loosing a key to wallet, the last time I lost my login phrase, i tried all possible measure but it was to no avail since then i av been. One need to be extra careful when it comes to key bcos if there s no key, there is no entrance. Keep ur key well.

Bitcoin gives you a lot of ways to retrieve your coins, you can remember the password to your wallet, your seed words or your private key, if you only have access to one of those then you can get your coins back but if you lose all that information and you do not have a backup somewhere then your coins are lost forever, do not let that to happen to you.

I think there is no way to retrieve the keys when lost. We should always have a back up securely hidden all the time. Losing the keys just means we are screwed.

If they got the back-up phrase then they can recover the bitcoin wallet and just reset the wallet to default and reset the password but if they don't have the back-up phrase or even the seed or private key then there is nothing that they can do and it will just serve as a lesson that they should just be backing up those things at the very first place.

By the way, an interesting question ... I myself thought about it.
But it seems like there is no (at least not a given moment) ways to return access
However, I can be wrong

We have types of Bitcoin wallet nowadays, like wallet with provided private key and we have wallet wherein we can put our own password, if the number two kind of wallet is the one you are using then there will possibility that you can open it someday when you remember the password but with private key... Sorry to tell you but you have to kiss it goodbye...

In that case 'I'm sorry for your loss and thanks for the deflation of bitcoins'.
The importance of the private key is the first thing we need to understand.


That is an important issue i think, i think that it is th most important thing to keep our wallet key very safe. Because once we lose our bitcoin wallet key, then it is difficult to recover and more chances are that we will lose our bitcoin forever. To me i have already lost my two wallets security key, but the amount of bitcoin in these wallets were not so much.

I recommend writing down it in somewhere, in a diary, in a paper or somewhere safe. Don't save it in a place like a google drive it can be hacked. and can save it in pc, but if something happened to the pc like - hard drive dead . ur data too will lose

It better to save you security private keys in a very safe place but beside that if you have you security backup phrase it still good because that is what you will use in other to recovery of your wallet. And if you lost your security key you can have it send to your registered email address.
