Deleted my wallet, with 130 BTC in 2009...

Oh man that's sad, I mean 130 btc is a huge amount and cannot afford to loose, I am sure you won't be able to sleep for many days, same  happened to me last week I deleted my wallet by mistake and it was having 0.08 btc, the amount was not that too high but still it was very painful.

I made a mistake writing it, it was 2013!  Angry Lips sealed Undecided Cry
are you sure about that ? How did it happen ?
you use online or desktop wallet wallet?

if bitcoin instead of decentralization, perhaps you can call customer service and ask recover wallet lol

My MOST RECENT mistake with bitcoin was investing in an altcoin that claimed to be tied to the Ethereum platform during the big Ethereum hype.  They got away with 330 BTC of investors money in a fake crowdsale. (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-mercurial-mci-linking-crypto-currencies-1158117) My WORST mistake with bitcoin was erasing my hard drive during the April 2011 US pokersite seizure (Black Friday).  I got scared when the FBI flash screen appeared when logging into my accounts at Fulltilt, Pokerstars, Ultimate Bet, and Bodog.  It scared the hell out me so I reformatted my hard drive, filled it up with video, and reformatted it again...Bitcoin was only worth about a dollar a piece back then, so it was no big deal at the time but I threw quite few away for no reason.

My worst mistake was when I made my first transaction with bitcoin, I sent bitcoins to wrong address, and the amount was around 0.2 and for me that was very huge amount at the primary stage, so now I check and recheck the address before sending bitcoins.

My biggest mistake is that I do not keep my bitcoin.

For some reason, when the price gets high, I buy, I think it will continue to rise and I will miss the train! but unfortunately it always comes back  Cry

This bad habit costed me hundreds of dollars I could've saved!

Trading is not very simple as we think. We have to do lot of research work before buying or selling the Bitcoins because the price may fluctuate at anytime. A strong watching of price levels and following some technical tools also will help you to trade better.

We have to make sure that the best time to buy or sell bitcoins then we are able to get profit from bitcoin trading but it is not very easy continues research is required. otherwise, worst mistakes may repeat. That should be avoided.

i have also made one mistake.i have loosen one chance for earn some profit. because before few month bitcoins price was very cheep and now its worth is very high it is my big mistake.

Yeah that is the mistake that we all regret, the mistake made by me was that I didn't buy bitcoins when the price was $250 and I am still regretting on it, if I would have bought some bitcoins at that time then at a moment I would be in $100 plus profits.

investing it into scams... realy stupid Smiley

I see a lot of people saying their biggest mistake was investing into scams... What are these scams? Are you talking about the small p2p loans being done on LoanBase and BTCJam? or something else?

Trading also involves some amount of luck. When you buy bitcoin to trade, the price could go up or down.

I hope it is not your life's savings. You should have do some research first before you make a deposit to random website you found.
Never "invest" in a ponzi with your money if you could not afford to lose it.

I have never bought myself Bitcoin, I've got one and one self mining. And I have them all sold. Now I'm thinking that I'm going to buy one there again and go sell later.
But I'm not sure yet.

Well, I mean you can't go wrong with buying right now IMO.  These prices seem a pretty good entry point before the summer halving shindig.  Though, you can't really tell what's going to happen before then with the potential fork in code... I would suggest that if you do end up buying a little bit, to remain on top of current bitcoin development news; because usually big bears come out when FUD comes out about the development.

That's not always the case, because the market tends to move randomly sometimes... but as you probably saw with Hearn declaring Bitcoin a "failure", a big drop off in price was had right after the release of that article in the media.

Well, I was stupid enough to make a trade with a new user without using escrow. Of course I was scammed. Fortunately it was just 5 bucks.
