To keep my private key secure I record it or print out the private key that I use.
Until now I do not know how to recover lost / forgotten private key.

What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?
i think the wastes thing that will ever happen to a man is to lost or forget his private key, so it always better to save your private key in a save place because bitcoin did not have password reset once you lose it all you fund as been lose automatically.

Private key is what makes cryptocurrency special, one it is lost it can't be retrieved. There a lotvof ways to keep private key safe such as writing it on a journal (most reliable to me) that will be kept safe, device backup such backing the wallet on your devices up on another device to prepare for any crash that come on the system.

From what I have heard you have no possibility to retrieve your password, so you need to keep it really secure and be sure that you would not forget it, write it down in every place that you only can.

Bad news for you because you can not get it whatever you have in your wallet, I think the best way that you have to do is make copy or write it and keep in safe place

That's right,  if you lost your private key, there is no other way to recover it. That is why its better  to keep your private keys in a safe place where anyone of your trusted person can access when needed and made some instruction, so that a member of family can access whatever happens to you.

If you lost your password, pin or private key well you cannot retrieve it, I think we need to keep safe like saving it in flash drive, printing the key or we can write in a piece of paper by that we can assure that we have a back up.

I almost lost the only copy of my private key on my mobile phone because it's almost broken. Good thing it was fixed and my copy was not deleted. What I did now is I sent to my alternative e-mail account my private keys to make sure I have another copy and tag it as important mail. That's what I did to make my wallet safe.

If you create bitcoin wallet. Much better if you print or save your private keys in order for you not to forget the security key of your wallet. If you do it by only your memory it is difficult you can't do it by yourself.
But if you forgot it then it will lost forever. No one can open it.

Maybe I am not just aware of the current situation, but I assume there will be many court cases due to people losing their key and not being able to access their wallet anymore. But as far as I understand, it is a lost battle.

There are no ways (at least to the best of my knowledge) known that you can use to  recover your lost private keys, that is why it is always advisable to physically write them down, offline and keep securedly in your personal vault

The problem someone forgot the key of bitcoin wallet is a very fatal thing. As we know that bitcoin has a decentralized system in which full control is in the hands of these bitcoin owners. If we forget the key of our bitcoin wallet then we can not get it back because there is no central party managing this bitcoin. This is indeed one of the disadvantages of bitcoin so one has to think about avoiding this forgetfulness. In fact all there are risks including storing private keys only on our memory. Our memory is also vulnerable to forgetfulness because suddenly we can think very much. If we've forgotten our keys then it's very difficult to get our keys back.

Precaution is always better than cure, as is said!

So it is always good to keep a record of all your private keys at one safe place. And try not to disclose the same to anyone, keep it only to yourself. Create an excel file of all the record and keep it in one safe place.

It is better to disburse your holdings into different wallets so that if one wallet gets hacked, others are safe. And try to encash your holdings into your fiat currency ASAP for more safety. And also avoid the use of online exchanges for handling your coins. They are not that safe!

Mate before investing in any cryptocurrency you should secure first the private key and have a 2 back-up files in a flash drive and place it in your office and at your locker room. Don't trust other people as this will cause you problem once you had funds in your wallet.
