Discuss how much you have lost and how.

Lost some BTC30 by investing in BTCT.co / Litecoinglobal. Damn it... even now my entire Bitcoin holdings are worth much lower than the amount which I lost.

I had purchased 30 stocks of BTCT at BTC1 each. The exchange closed down and the stocks became worthless. But never lost a penny in wallet robberies and hacks.

Shouldn't you start first my dear? I mean you opened this thread.
So how much you've lost and how?

not too much, lost only one due to a ponzi(x2coin), but if we talk about altcoin also then the story it is different  :)

I've never lost any BTC or been scammed out of any. I did manage to get ravaged repeatedly on alts. My record was Mazacoin which went from 20,000 satoshis to 20 while my attention was elsewhere but it was about 0.15 in total and it made me chuckle. Other alts have left me in the black now.

Never lost much to a scam as well. Of all that I recall just lost once to a full member who took some money for WMZ first, and he ended up scamming for like 0.02 BTC. Didn't really expect a full member to do that, but thats he played it. Otherwise its easy to be not scammed, and specially with using BTC precautions should be taken.

~0.5 BTC on sports gambling :/

Now I don't gamble ;D

I have lost 5 bitcoin on a dice site ::), and for this reason I have stopped to gamble because it is so risky (oh yes I have also lose 0.05 btc on a ponzi scheme, few months ago). However I have already recovered my loss, with some online works.

I lost nearly 2 btc when hacked and 15 btc from a scammy Developer and could have cashed out 42 bitcoin trading a coin but ended up cashing out 12 btc instead but I didn't lose on that, lost only huge profits.

Me about (potential) 40 btc on rektcoin (okcoin) 20x futures, Dear.

Got some Doge just before it skyrocketed and about the time the Meme was going bonkers

That fucking sucks man

I've lost a few on inputs.io. Also I've lost around (potential) 30 in SBC. I was planning on selling on when the spike happened. Due to some bugs caused by my ISP, I had no internet. Didn't bother to rush somewhere else. By the time that I had access it plummeted.

I have not lost that much from my actual investments, all in all, I m in profit. The bigger problem is what I could ve made if I played my cards the right way. So this is a way an opportunity cost of my crypto decision. I have missed a few really nice opportunities, these situations where you think that to do, you select one option and it brings you nothing while the second option would ve brought me 10 BTC, 20 BTC, etc. 

I have lost some through depreciation, actual bitcoins lost is a different thing though.
I lost 0.8 BTC when gox when to hell, though it is not impossible that one day I get a percentage of that back.

I lost some alts when MCXnow screwed everyone over the first time, but otherwise I have been lucky.

I have traded about 5BTC with someone who later went rogue, and I invested in Neo and Bee, but sold out at a slight loss way before he ran off with the investors money!

It's an adventure alright!

Haven't lost that much in BTC. Lost 0.02 in bitcoins because of gambling, but that's all that I can remember. In trading, I always profit (even though it's only a small gain, I still treat it as a gain, because why not?) from alts, especially those that I think were only pump and dump coins. The last pump and dump coin that I took part on was BlackCoin, and I must admit that I made a pretty good profit from it.

I have lost +15 btc on primedice, but I am continuing gamble because I want to restore my loss.

might as well do okcoin dude...

I got lucky when PB Mining went down as I was all ready in profit there and did not buy any new contracts after my initial purchase. I dod lose about 80 USD in BTC Trader and another 125 USD in bit mining company. Needless to say I don't cloudmine or invest any more. Things could have been worse but I am always cautious and never risk a lot in any one thing.

Never chase losses. That money is gone and all you end up doing is increasing your losses over time. Good luck either way.

This makes me sad when i think of it but it is good to revisit something where you clearly had a problem to do what you done, in my case i lost over 5btc gambling in a week! I have been scammed at least 1 btc and reinstalled a wallet with 2btc in without backing the wallet. So at the very least i have lost 8btc! Which to some might not be much but i don't even have that total anymore :/

Never got scamed or hacked (yet). Lost ~BTC1 total combined on gambling sites, no regrets though, no risk no glory

Well imagine 40btc

If you gamble, then you should make sure that you don't get addicted to it. In your case it seems that you have now become addicted to it. You are trying to recover your loses, which in all probability will land you in even more deeper debt. Stop this, or you'll be ruined.

You should exit "right now" from the gamble world all you will los more bitcoin, this is sure! Search another way to spend your free time, the gambling is not the right thing. I have seen a lot of people (with their families) ruined due the gambling, the free money doesn't exist ... remember it!

I lost about 0.2 back in the day when I still invested in alts.. namely with Mazacoin, I bought at the god damn top and haven't bothered buying alts again.

Mostly losses from gambling. Haven't lost any in an exchange or hacking which is great.

Me too. And lost few BTCs with bad mining investments. Lesson learned, I only instamine now :)

Haven't lose. Instead of gambling i will save it or invest it so that i can earn a profit even if the profit is small.

Lost about BTC55 with bad mining investment (KNC).

not losses as such but would have made extra 10k+ if i held onto key btcd and some other alts a bit longer and sold at the right time

Lost about 7.5BTC in various altcoins when the coinex.pw was robbed by their owners, back in March 2014.
Since then, never kept any bigger amount of BTC at any exchange for longer than few hours.
Managed to avoid losses on Mintpal/Moolah scam thanks to that lesson.

But still it is better than losing BTC. Any profit gained is good, even if it's a small amount. One of the principles that the Chinese follow, that's why most of the business tycoons in my country are Chinese.

Damn that was a lot of money... Thats why im not sure about joining Bit-x even tho they got better rates now.. because you get paid in the exchange, and who knows what happen, maybe you didn't cash out in time. And as far as I know the more frequently you withdraw the worse it is for you because they apply withdraw fee.

I have lost at around 1 BTC in total from trading alt coins. Made some bad trades when i was a beginner :/

Lost less than 0.5 btc (I'm not sure how much) in altcoins & PnD scheme coins. Halcyoncoin was my worst investment.
I also lost some altcoins in gambling dice games but that was fun.

No surprise here. For the past few years, I have been asking noobs to stay away from shitcoins. Very few of them took my advice seriously. And almost all of them lost significant amounts of cash investing in these scamcoins.

And those people who had the guts to take the risks end up winning big time or losing big time. It's just a matter of right execution of plans and decision-making. Luck can sometimes be a part of success too.

Yeah, very rarely will you see a good return.

my losses have been in:
gambling, I have lost around 0.2 bitcoin in dice games
ponzis, I have lost around 0.1 bitcoin

however I have also had earning but I don't know if I cover my losses, I usually try to keep me away from these type of sites :/

Lost 17.27btc and a £10,000 bank wire to mtgox. And 6 or so coins to blackarrow.

overall still in profit but i hold very little coins anymore. Cashed out and had a whale of a time. My only regret is not getting in on it sooner!

Not a single coin. Haven't been hacked, never invested in a scamcoin or cloud mining, every time I lost something in a casino I always got it back.
I don't call myself lucky but at least I'm not unlucky :P

Absolutely right. The best thing you can do is giving up the gamble. The house always wins.  ;)

As for me I have lost nearly 3 btc to a scam. I am trading to gain my losses.

Satoshibones .. quick bet result .. lost 2900$ like 15-16 BTC
At this time i chase to get money back with betting more ,then i stopped betting ..

Mostly true, but you don't have to end up winning big or losing big. There are few gamblers with healthy approach. Just set an amount each month that you're comfortable to lose and play with that and only that.


..said the man with bitcoin casino in his signature  ;)

That's sad. So the combined loses are somewhere in the range of $30,000. 30K is a huge amount for me. Represents several years of savings.

It makes me angry that tens of thousands of people lost such huge amounts to the Mt Gox scam, and the person who is responsible is still enjoying his life partying and planning for the next scam.

Added together .... I would say I lost about 1 Bitcoin to older Cloud mining services that never ROI or closed their doors, when cloud mining was still the "In thing"  >:(

At some time in your life, you make poor investment decisions and I write them off as "school fees" not mistakes. The better decisions always make up for the bad ones...

I would rather make three bad decisions and one GREAT decisions than not making any decisions at all. {If you take no calculated risks, you will not succeed}

I have read most of the books from successfull business men and women and they have all failed in many of their previous attempts at making a success, until they succeeded in one big project and that propelled them into greater success.  ;D

Let's face it, the reality is that to be able to see success, one must fail first in order to be motivated and set things right. Decision-making is the most important part in one's success. One bad decision and you lose, but sometimes, executing bad plans often result to an even greater success, because if you're the positive one, you'll treat those as "school fees" (as to what you have said) and continue going further with enough knowledge not to repeat the same process again. :)

Lost a bit in stupid bitcoin stocks, but made profit too. Lost a bit by buying stupid miners. Lost a bit in trading when learning. Overall I'm doing good anyway.

I have lost :

~19 BTC @ vircurex - due to hacks claims of site owner ( I was out of city , got barely internet connection when it happened)
~10-15 BTC(equivalent of 64k DGC at that time ) @ cryptoave- due to unabilty of site owner baritus
~12-15 BTC @ ltcgear scam
~5 BTC at bitcoin stocks (like AM , MergedMining and old stocks)

Totally I have lost about 45-55 BTC. Good lessons for me.

You forgot to mention the 16(.6 btc IIRC) shares you invested with me in OpenEx.

Well , Im getting back those , right ?  So, I dont think its a lost. :)

Besides , I was really liked your open exchange idea. At first , It wasnt my main idea to get more profit. I was just excited to see an open exchange funded by me (even it was small portion). I really didnt worried about what I invested. However, It was sad to see hack things and I was worried about other peoples' fund. Even if you didnt want to pay investors money, I was OK , because I knew it was risky like all start-ups.

Anyway , I think its not a lost and want to appreciate for your efforts after all.

Good man :)

I haven't lost anything myself. Either that or it was so insignificant that I don't even remember.

I have never gambled or put myself in a risky position as far as I can recall. Then again, nothing has warranted that situation.

Yes,that is correct. I don't know if you noticed or not but i did send your first payment monday morning of this week. :-)

I will be the first to admit, that it was all my fault. I trusted someone else to code the exchange, and paid them, and they just straight up f***ed me over, and i tried to pick up the work from there but i obviously was not a very good programmer at the time. OpenEx will be back some day, i'm working very hard on it. I don't like to brag, but i did take this lesson to heart, and as of now i am a full time employed Professional Web Developer. I thank you for understanding and not piling on me like alot of other people did. You are a very nice person. I hope that the kindness you have displayed towards me comes back to you 10 fold

I will leave you with a sneaky little preview of what i do in my spare time after work:

http://puu.sh/h5P6V/27707184b9.jpg

Yes , I saw , thank you for payment.

Trust is a big issue for everyone's life. Actually, thats also why bitcoin will become/(became) so important due to its trustless nature.

For new OpenEx , I wish good luck to you. However, I have to say that exchanges are not very popular today as it was in past. There are lots of small and a few bigger exchanges around. And nearly trade volume all of altcoin exchanges is getting lower. If you think to start just an altcoin exchange without any extra features , you can get hard times for marketing and tracting new customers. Also there are some efforts for decentralised exchanges like mappum (maybe bitbay). I believe you have thought twice or more about security.
Maybe if there is any option to invest , I can be again involved in it.

Thanks also for good wishes for me. I think youre also honest and determined person.

As I read your stories it really gives me the creeps.
It seems I'm lucky, still didn't loose anything.
My strategy is to cash out my BTC, as soon as I earn them, via paypal to my bank account.
Value of BTC is still not stable, prices constantly rising and falling, so I don't see any reason to keep them in my wallet.
I also don't buy things with BTC, don't play games so no meaning to keep them to long in my wallet.
I'm sorry because of your Bitcoin Losses.

Good technique i guess, im currently looking for crowdfunds to invest in.

CoinApult was a good one, im very interested in SendChat now. Any comments on their work so far?

by this you reduce the risk of losing coins but aren't you interested in investing in bitcoin at some point? waiting for stability can take some years. this thread is a great source of information which helps you to not make the same mistake as others did.

Well i will be honest after imagining losing 4+ times as much as i did that makes me a little happier with my losses so thank you for sharing that and it obviously has not put you off so that is a good thing and you will get it back in the end if you haven't already. Cheers.

My losses, so far :)

NeoBee:    6 btc
Moolah:     2.5 btc
Dogetrading: 4 btc
Other alts: 3 btc

Also have lost a fair amount trading BTC.

MTGOX :(

My losses only come from crypto trading when at times selecting the wrong newly launched altcoin and then not exiting fast enough. I actually suffer quite a substantial amount holding on to quark but I was glad I managed to let it go before it sank. Lesson learned, never go near newly launched altcoin, unless it really has something significant in term of new technologies to offer.  

Ha, I rather not even think about this. It just makes you bitter and makes your life worse, actually. This is like a board game for rich kids, to be honest :D

give us an amount, that is all

:D Nah, I'd rather like to keep that to myself. I honestly don't know the exact amount. I don't want to, it's not good for your mental health, I believe. I just wanted to advise other not to place so much importance on their losses.

Well, im at the same page as you, the more you dwell on it the more toxic you become. Just live with it and be a man about it.

P.S. A good method to overcome the loss is talking about it and stating your losses, hence the thread.

Well I don't think it has something to do with 'being a man', but I do get what you're hinting at, and it's true. Yes, for some people it may be very helpful and healing to discuss losses, you're right. I don't question the thread's intentions. Good idea! :)

Yes that was a lot of money, but seems that I am slowly making it back.
As for the second part of your post, you may join sig campaign and cash out to your safe storage as soon as you get paid. You risk only the last payment period then (either week or month, depending on campaign. In case of Bit-x it is week).

No, sorry I can't stop. I "must" recover that loss and gain another 15 btc for pay all my debt. Bitcoin is an extremely and huge world and I want to gain how much I can.

Oh the pain that i feel when i think about it lol! I have lost around 25btc for several reasons, I’ve lost at least 10btc on gambling! I have had my computer crash without a back up in my early days in BTC Another 12BTC.

I have been scammed by altcoins and in the digital goods 'my fault not using escrow' I have earned about that back from trading and getting lucky on a few alt coins but still not nice remembering you could have that extra if you would have used your brain.

Gamble is the mother of evils  ;D  and i havent lost any bitcoin yet. just a little lost during at buy and sell .

There's gotta be a more dependable way of gaining extra coins than that. If you are still gambling that means you must have some left.

And are you managing to pull it back so far?

So you've gambled your way into losses and you're planning on gambling your way out of the losses?

Can you afford to lose more from gambling as that is mathematically the most likely outcome?

Best of luck to you, but maybe finding another way to generate income aside from gambling would be a good idea.

Yes I can gamble it, I have a lot of bitcoin from the early years (2011-2012) and for me it is not a problem. I can afford to lose them and gamble them, good luck guys!

That reminds me of my original bitcoin investment and how i lost it. I had an old Dell duocore laptop i used to cold storage my bitcoins. i have two laptops at the time, the one i still have and the one i had then. i had a laptop baggy foreach. identical bags, with a front pouch. in one of the pouches, i kept a usb drive with a text file of all the private keys for my cold storage addresses. just in case that something happened to my cold storage laptop. I was storing approximately 325 btc on this cold storage computer. i bought at less than 3 dollars a coin, so thats not a huge investment.

Now here's what happened:

A supposed friend showed up early one morning and asked if he could borrow my computer. i said sure, just take it to the living room and surf, but i'm going back to sleep. when i woke up, my pc was sitting on my desk, but my cold storage laptop was gone along with its carrying case. When they caught the guy, he was high on crak, having traded my laptop for about 25 dollars worth of crack. he never rolled on his dealer, and to this day i wonder what happened to my bitcoins and my laptop. If i would have had that pc when bitcoin hit its high of $1150 a coin, i would be a fairly wealthy man right now. Later on the guy apologized to me "You had two laptops bro, i figured you wouldn't miss the old one much" was his excuse.

I've lost 2 penny for trading, and then I realized that I'm not good at trading (It's not a big amount tho) ;D

Ok looks like you're not losing your shirt or anything, but have a mission to get your bitcoin back from the casinos haha.


That was one expensive hit of crack.  Curious as to how a friendship works with a crack user/addict?

Well you grow up with people your whole life, so you know them and have a certain amount of trust in them. a child hood best friend. We all did drugs and stuff. some of us couldn't stop. he'd been in my house hundreds of times and never stolen.

1 Bitcoin in Paycoin Scam

Yea PayCoin was really the biggest one yet, but the creator is in jail i heard (correct me if im wrong)

It is your call. I really hope that you might turn out to be extra-ordinarily lucky, and might be able to gamble back your investment without much trouble.

That's an insane story... Not even lying... I mean... wow. That's why I don't store those amounts of coins on real computers, but rather in paper wallets that are distributed safely in different places :D Don't have that much, anyways, though...

This put a smile on my face and made any of my losses not really matter because i came to terms with them and will not chase my losses if you do as the guy above it will not end up good.

You will chase and lose more and more until you have nothing left to chase with that is what happens the majority of the time and someone hoping different for you does not matter.

Your best bet is to work and earn the money back to pay debts etc i lost about the same on one experience (own fault) and earned it back threw work if i would have gambled i would lose everything as 95% do, good luck finding it back to reality..


Oh wow! What are the chances of that so sorry to hear that makes my loss seem irrelevant, sad times indeed!

The crappy thing you just know that the dealer or whoever he sold it to had no idea that the coins was on there so they are lost forever.

I bet that hurt when the price when to 1000+ i would be tempted to take him hostage and make him get it back for $500+ but gather it was long gone by then :(

Did you manage to build up some coin again before the bubble?

hahah, I don't play my earnings! I withdraw it as soon as possible before I succumb to the temptation ;)

The only Bitcoin that I've lost is when inputs.io pulled their little scheme. Otherwise, I've been solid. At least the inputs.io incident taught me even storing very small amounts is a bad idea. I can't remember the exact amount but it was no more than 10.

Even I lost around 5 in one of the exchange but I didn't mind that I got it by one of my friend at very cheap rate.

Yeah! Fantastic, today I lost another 2 bitcoin  :-\, it seem I was not so lucky today. I will try tomorrow (maybe I will be lucky than today. Wish me luck  :'().

Lost about 0.04 BTC as two members did not pay me after completing the deal and I lost several dollars due to scam PTC sites  :-X

Must suck lossing a whole Bitcoin, it's really hard to obtain an entire Bitcoin for most of us out there.
I've lost about 0.1 something and that sucked big time alone.

Around 0.5 bitcoin  from a scammer but I'm trying to regain the amount ASAP.

I'm sorry that you lost out. Can you see a pattern forming here? Everyone's trying to spell it out for you.

See if you have a pre early 2014 private key, claim some clams and throw them away if you really can't stop gambling. Destroying free money will feel a whole lot better.

Lost 40BTC to the pirateat40 shithead
Lost 2.2BTC to fucking amhash
Lost 1BTC to v1 of a first investment type website, it was pretty popular in 2012, cant remember its name.
Lost 1BTC to pyramining

Think thats bout it =P
Never again will I give someone my btc... OH WAIT!!!, u have to in order for it to actually be useful...
see why this shit is never gonna go mainstream? ...

So far I've been fortunate and haven't been scammed or hacked out of any Bitcoin losses (knock on wood).

Fiat value of Bitcoin's I'm still holding is another discussion, but haven't lost any BTC from a scam, hack, theft, or exchange insolvency.   :)

About 40 BTC to shakaru (Andrew Nollan) in 2011.

You have either been lucky or clever because i too have lost a fair few bitcoin, mainly altcoin investments and gambling gone very wrong or just got carried away and not paying attention to the signs> if something seems to good to be true then it usually is. So many scams and schemes took awhile for me to realize. Total losses at a underestimate guess 10btc :( at the value of $500+

@malevolent  i am going to google Andrew Nollan i have not been around long enough to know what he done or who he is lol

So far, no losses.  I haven't been hacked, I haven't been scammed, and I've gambled only at very short odds against people making really stupid bets - I have won every time so far. 

That said, I am at least a little bit crazy (Diagnosed as "monopolar depressive and incompletely socialized", for those who care about such things), and while this helps me not get scammed and hacked, it also helps me lose out on a lot of things that could be good. 

Part of not being scammed is seeing the worst possible motivations for pretty much every communication people make.  My depressive mind sort of assumes people with an investment opportunity are almost always scamming.  As a result I miss out on things that turn out to be good investments as well as things that turn out to be scams.  F'rexample I was one of the first ten people who ever heard about Bitcoin, even reviewed the code before it launched, could have CPU mined thousands and thousands back in the day, and I didn't have a thing to do with it until four years later.  D'oh!

And part of not being hacked is not keeping bitcoins on anything that's electronic and hooked up to the Internet, not running browser scripts (which breaks about half the sites out there), not using a mail client that has clickable links or automates calendar functionality or shows HTML mail, and not installing programs or browser extensions that aren't from one of my three or four trusted sources, even if they seem interesting and useful, on my networked machine.  So I also miss out on a fair amount of what's "normal and useful" by keeping my networked machine secure.

Lost btc learning the alt game.

I've lost 0.56 on gambling, 0.1 in Ponzi and much more

Maybe I should stop to gamble by bitcoin



Yes I have a lot of address of 2011-2012, I will see if I can claim these CLAMS.

It only takes a few minutes and if you have a lot of addresses it'll add up quickly. You're getting 0.03 BTC per address at the moment. Make sure your address is empty though just to be safe.

Someone told me about this before, but i never tried it. seems like BS to me.

Not at all. I didn't have many old addresses but it worked fine every time.

Make sure the address is empty just to be sure. Go to just-dice and click on the chat box.

In the chat box type /dig youraddress to see if it was funded. Then type in /dig youraddress yourprivatekey to get the Clams, or maybe just the private key. I can't remember. 

Hey presto Clams arrive at your just-dice wallet in about 5-10 minutes then withdraw to Poloniex and sell. You don't need a just-dice account but you'd need to stay on the page until it can be withdrawn.

You ain't got nothing to lose by trying with an old address as long as you still have the private key. If it was funded before May 12th 2014 they'll be waiting for you.

Tried 50 keys active during that time. only one of them has clams. not even worth my time, since its my daily driver and signature address

40 BTC is a shitton. At what price did you guys that have 50+BTC buy? you must have been legit early adopters.

I didnt buy, it was mined =)
Back then, mining on 3GH/s worth of GPU's made 3-4BTC /day

Wow so you have a advanced computer or latest computer so you can mined. Can i ask? What do you do to your btc.  Hahaha i only  curious.

It is obvious that bitcoin will never be  used or better replace the FIAT values  (mainstream). It will stay only a valid and good alternative to send large quantity of money with the lowest fee in the world (and most important 'fastest' only a click ....and it's gone). People accustomed to fiat currency and especially at the banks, and most people don't know how to use a computer (and we want that they should start use bitcoin http://www.nablasoft.com/mgfx/_varie/asdone.gif).

You have very nice computer. 3-4 Btc / day... A dream

in the old days he means

I lost 0.002btc on sports bet today. Just not so happy about it, but I enjoy it :). Just fun.

I lost some money trading in April 2014 when it went down to $400 and started quickly going up to the 600s. Bought in somewhere along the way and had about a month to sell it with profit, but ended up holding until it went down below $500 and never recovered. It wasn't a big loss maybe $1000, but it could've been twice that on the positive if I sold for $680. No regrets :)

Tried investing in pbmining. All my coins are gone now...

Sorry to hear, man.   :'(

Cloud mining and HYIP are probably the biggest scams in Bitcoin/Crypto right now.

Pay you for a few cycles, then either change terms, raise rates, or up and leave at the drop of dime and claim wallet hack.

I lost 0.0015 BTC because i played betting game and now i lost 0.0015 BTC. I will not play betting games again >:(

In first place betting game let you win first and after you playing and enjoying it the chance that you will won will be decreased. Its better to keep yung btc , save it

You learned your lesson quickly my friend.  Most people need to lose a lot more than that before they learn the same lesson :)

haven't lost anything because i haven't sold anything.

Haha but others will loss all of their money before they stop gambling or if they life is in risk. And sometimes they will not stop even if they completely pay their debt. Hahaha

You don't need to have brought anything to have lost anything ;) You could have had computer crash like me and because you was new to the game you never had a proper back up lol So my losses as it stand are only at 1.8btc many people here have had a lot of losses so much more! I feel a little sorry for you guys.

Yeah because i got that from faucet and i need 2 weeks to get around 0.0015. So it would be my hard time to lost my 2 weeks income >:(

I lost 0.3 Bitcoins when a thumb drive malfunctioned.  >:(

I lost $1.3 million when MAIDSAFE changed the rules during the opening hours of their crowdfunding.

Ruddy hell. Can you tell us more without blubbing all over your screen?

i've lost 0.2 BTC in Soccer betting.

and 0.01 BTC in Ponzi Site the first time when I was a beginner

Fortunately I don't remember that I lose any bitcoin in the past. The only time I lost , but maybe didn't earn something - was when someone here on bitcointalk offered some small bounty for review of his business ideas and something like that, turned out that he just collected people's idea and never pay anything, but it was really small amount of btc. I am very cautious and I hope that I won't became victim of some bigger scam.

lost 0.1 BTC on ponzi site, lost 0.6 BTC on Ltcgear.com.

I once bet 2 btc on satoshidice back when btc were like 100 each.

It was a 98% chance to win.

I lost.

lol

lol damn.

Reminds me of when I was going to withdraw a small amount of btc (0.001) from a faucet/gambling site, and I thought I'd make a couple bets to cover the withdrawal fee, and immediately lost it all with a losing streak.

Funny you say that had a very similar thing happen to me just yesterday on fj, 98% bet with a 0.5btc bet 4 spins in bam you lose! I was going to stop after 50 plus spins with a little profit. I will play some poker tonight and hopefully win a small part of that back. Total losses around 6btc :(

I lost 0.1 in gambling. After that, I do not gamble anymore.

That is good to know.
Gambling is not a good thing.
It can be very addictive and usually doesn't work out well.

On a side note, that is a nice signature  ::)

Now you know what is the consequences of gambling. All gamblers are lose in gambling. You can won for a min time and as time passes by you will notice that you can't win in gambling.

I lost 0.1 in gambling and 0.2 in betting (Pacqiauo vs Mayweather)

I lost 0.1 bitcoins when Bter was hacked. I thought it was lost forever but Bter carried on trading and now I can see my stolen balance but cannot spend it. They periodically pay me a small fraction of it back and I'm hoping to eventually have it all returned. Bter is better than other hacked exchanges that immediately shut down and cost everyone whatever they had on there.
