Topic: Your biggest loss with cryptocurrencies? - page 2. (Read 5151 times)

In which year? 

I lost more than 210 BTC in january at gambling 
My biggest loss ever

I think it was because I mined (briefly) with the rpcpassword not set (why do they not force you to do this?)

Anyway, I'm not actually sure, but I later put a billion moon in there and kept the wallet offline for months and months. Then it all dissappeared.

This was may wallet address: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/moon/address.dws?2bfkzvCAvvBASYZihFC66QykKiQNz2xgJ4.htm

You can see the thief basically emptied the lot, along with a few other large wallets. Together I think he got a few billion moon which are now basically unspendable, but this address is blacklisted and followed by the whole moon community. Big loss though. It was only worth a few $100 when I bought it (at about 8 litoshi) but now it is at around 5 satoshi, this stings.

Hay MoonWhale do you mind sharing the details of that happened with the wallet to lead you to the loss and are you the only one and how did that affect the moon price and what did they do to fix it?

Billion mooncoin nicked due to a shitty wallet implementation. Was worth about $150,000 a week ago.
That wasn't so fun. But on the bright side I made a shit ton out of other stuff.

Not a big lost but when i trade scam coins witch i love to do as most of the time i gain with it.

It can be $500 but it can be $200 or less what if the latter happens how much will you make?

i am new in cryptocurrencies trade and i hop i will make some profit with ETH trade because ETH will soon at 500$ value. What do you think?

Has anyone lost a lot of money when an exchange got hacked? 

My biggest loss was when I was having my margin with xrp and str and then bitcoin went to the moon and all of the alts dump specially xrp and str. I have to close my position before liquidation or else i will lose all of my btc. Lost around 0.2 and learned my lesson not to margin as of now.

I purchased navcoins 2 years ago and sold it. I still have some in wallet.dats but I don't think I can recover it because they switched blockchains. It turns out I would be up 200k right now if I kept those.

I cant say exact amount of btc but overall estimate would be 10 btc not too much compared to others but it does still hurt me when i do think it again those past mistakes do i made like selling on dumps and buying on peaks and some i do lose money on scams like hyips and ponzi but im still thankful because i can still able to recover up after those lose and learning up new ways to avoid those mistakes again.

Not buying bitcoin when it was under 1 Euro.

I have lost 1400$ btc In MPCA scam. This is my biggest lost

Most of us here experiencing the same situation when we are new at this kind of investment. But in my side I still in profit even thought Ill also been scam  multiple times investing in Ponzi scheme  but now I already learn my lesson.

Sounds like most people have had their biggest loss from selling too early, but generally we shouldn't count those as a loss because most people still sold at a profit. If we are then I will say my biggest loss is not going all in several years ago but waiting on the sidelines until recently.

My biggest loss is when I sold my XEM at price of 300 satoshi each. And as we can see, XEM got the ath of 14k satoshi each which is very peofitable if I have sold my XEM at that price.

If I bought those 300 btc three years back when a friend suggested to me, I will be in a different position now…

My biggest loss is selling thousands of Eth in early 2016

Having bought Litecoin at 10 EUR at the end of 2013 or beginning of 2014, holding during the Huobi/BTCChina (can't remember) pump to 16 EUR and watching it plumet to 3-4 EUR. Stayed there for three years, but I kept holding. Noticed there are always fluctuations between 3,5 and 4 EUR. Decided after three years of bagholding to recover my loss by swingtrading on those fluctuations, so sold at 4 EUR one evening and put a limit buy at 3,5........... which never hit because that evening I sold was the evening before the BIG SEGWIT PUMP TO 35 EUR.
That happened to me because I didn't really follow cryptonews a few months ago, was out of the loop and a complete beginner. Learned a lot in just a few months and now I keep up with news and follow other people on Twitter (and realized how little I knew about crypto, a lot has changed since 2013-2014 when I was in the loop).

Plot twist: What makes this story from ultimate bad luck to a huge success story... a little later the Ripple pump started and also the ETC pump. I figured, hey I should just buy a random coin and see what happens. So I put the fiat I got from selling my LTC at a huge loss in... Stellar Lumen! And just one day later it started pumping x20. My profits were massively higher than if I were to stay in LTC and magically called the top to sell.
