Bitcoin Forum

So there is already thread about "Your Highest Earning IN A Day " but what is your highest loss in day?

2.5 btc on dicesites.

.6btc on scam cryptostock mining share

about 0.05 BTC realized

luckily never hit any scam

1.8 BTC on SatoshiDice (I know, horrible site but I was a noob)

I have been down $20k in a day in the stock markets
Not a nice feeling, thats for sure!

About $1200 and In bitcoins that would be like 5 bitcoins at that time , was pretty bad feeling. After that I had even bigger loss of $3000 but It wasn't in bitcoins It just was dollars and after that loss I play more smart and never lost something like that again, so I learned from my own mistake pretty fast I would say :) Gambling could be such addictive thing I can say from my own experience but one day you can master It and don't fall for the none stop betting without any logical thinking till your balance hits 0, lol.

I think my biggest loss in a day was with poker.
Only like 50 dollars in a day but for me at that time was alot.
Poker learned me to not go betting or trading again when you just lost.
Because your mind will not think normally and you will make big mistakes.

I lost millions of dogecoins with doge-dice, I was confident to win using Martingale method but I lost all my shibe coins.

What was your starting bet?
How long lose streak you got?

If we count scam than I lost Some 350$ Payza to a scammer..! haven't faced any big loss in btc till date that may be because i keep a safe distance from gambling and possible scams.

i loss 290$ in a day! :( :(

Erm, like 20-30 BTC.  :(

I got scammed way back when for over 600 btc! That hurt!  >:(

LOL, i guess the lesson here is dont Martingale.... or gamble.

What do you mean by cashed out via MtGox? they going to return everyone money?

Investing or stupid spending...

I've blown 3k in a day.. on a really stupid idea..

~0.9 BTC

Not too much, I am still kinda new to cryptocurrencies so I dont have much money in it... but in really stupid ways. Making a typo while buying BTC and falling for a scam here... tzz stupid me... Always have to learn the hard way.
Well the least I can do is make every loss count and do learn from them for gods sake...

My highest loss in a day (in USD was about $1k when BTC tanked in December)
In BTC - I havn't lost any because I don't gamble and haven't been hacked or scammed yet :)

I think he meant if he wouldn't lost his money at PD he would have withdrawn them to mt gox, and end up losing them anyway. 

14 BTC on MtGox..  >:( >:(

Just shy of $500,000 USD ... Pennystocks.

Tried to help hold up a 21 Million Dollar Marketcap ... blew thru me and I even tried to underaverage down but blew through me again ... and again.

Expensive lesson.

Nothing major, a few hundred dollars, but relatively speaking it was still a massive kick in the balls.

Sometimes an actual loss is hard to take, but its the missed opportunities that are the hardest for me to get over.

Missed opportunities where you were going to buy, but stopped, then you see the price sky rocket - or some speculatively low buy order, those are the ones that can literally wipe out your losses and see you in huge profits.

Not really sure, got some contact indicating that Mark is buying new cars... that's sick.

My biggest loss? Some altcoin crash in fall december, roughly 400$ lost in a day  :-\

i mean i lost a lot when the price fluctuated like crazy, but why would one panic sell? noobs do that. it's how they get cleaned out. i knew a few idiots like that.

best is to store yo koins in cas silvers & golds. ;)

Few €'s, I guess I'm lucky  :D

One Bitcoin. Really wasn't a loss, I guess. Bitcoin was around $250, so it wasn't much.

Dice games are far too risky for my liking. I've never had any decent lucky on them, they just bring disappointment - particularly if you attempt to up the stakes. I never gamble with any thing that I have paid for - just earned Bitcoins.

I've lost around 0.2 BTC to dice games, a far cry from some of the losses others have incurred.

Wow that's nice, but if you're only $400 up then you must have lost almost all of it again :S

I'm still up on my initial investment, but that is dwindling with some of the pisstaking that is going on with alts.

0.1 BTC on updown.

But it is money that you could have had, if only you had cashed out :P C'est la vie, as they say. It's hard to quit when you're doing well then run into a few losses.

$150 on Nvidia (NVDA) back in 2000   :D

3 BTC on just-dice.  That was my whole BTC stash at the time, was devastated ::)
Oh well, thankfully the BTC price was only like $300 at the time...  And I had never lost that much before in my life because I'm usually very careful xD

I lost about $1100 shorting bitcoin's price spike in early March. I had made much, much more shorting in February, so it was okay. But it hurt stopping out my position and taking the loss. This was around the $590 level.

Yeah the value back then was barely anything.

I lost my .6 today on primedice. And thats like $394 at todays current value.

about 0.01 Bitcoin gambling and stopped after that :)

Lost .14 on a cloud mining scam.

You do well to stop and not go back to try earn your losses back.

I think that gambling to win back money lost through gambling is one of the silliest things, but it is a hard habit to break for those engrossed in the idea. I've lost about 0.2 on dice games but don't think I'll go back either...

If you do gamble, then do it in a reputable place.

Nothing worse than being scammed....

You learned the lesson cheaply mate..! many out there take 10s and hundreds of btc to get it..! all in all a wise decision. :) 

But the thing is, once you are introduced to gambling the little devil lives inside, dormant for however long until one day you fancy playing again.

Definitely a cheap way to realise the real risks that gambling pose. PrimeDice's Stunna always says that it is about the entertainment value, which is why they have a free faucet to play from. Even that can be addictive - which is how a lot of people actually get involved for real.

7.7 BTC on just-dice. I feel like a whale among you guys, but that was pretty much all my money at the time.

1.5 BTC playing dice....

My loss was about .6 as well. fuken sucks...

At primedice or justdice??

Actualy my highest loss was not bitcoin related, it was about 3k USD in bwin online casino.
I took it realy hard coz i was dumb enough to bet my rent & food money alone with my fun-money.

learned alot from that night, i even think i saved myself more money from that day til now, than i lost, just by being wiser with money.

Damn dude.. I`m glad you didnt lose anymore. Even its not btc related.

Must be a huge life changing moment for you..

back when i played online poker, i was a mid stakes tournament player. i was up pretty big over a few weeks, so one sunday, i took a shot at all the majors. took a $1500 hit. struck out on every one.

just lost 1 BTC on primedice  ???

Biggest loss is 0.5 BTC.

Learn my lesson not to gamble again.

about 1500 btc when btc was $8 or so :(
still haunts me to hthis day and it was in 2012

that's my totally BTC i spend  on primedice and got nothing
yeah i think i'll stop gambling again  :(

$30K in a month playing poker.
In BTC I didn't really lose but I could have been set for life if I had hold onto all the coins I've ever bought.
Lessons learned.

I paid $2 to a VPN For a trial account thru bitpay that never registered, so I paid the $2 again.

Couldn't be bothered to complain to bitpay, so $2 is all the bitcoin I ever lost.

They did it with a $150 transaction too, but I emailed them about that one and they returned it.

Shieet, I just lost 1300 doges at doge-dice.
Got it all from faucet but still.

500 dollars on the world cup

wow.. that was a lot at current BTC values, i cant imagine if i were you to lose that much

It was a lot even at those times btc values.
Or at least for me 12$k is kind of big amount to lose.

Highest loss was 420million Polycoin when the price tanked to 0 Satoshi.

This is the first time I'm not feeling bad about someones loss..! I have seen you posting how Polycoin is the future in many posts..!

indeed, so much can be gained or lost in such a quick time with altcoins. i sometimes get down on myself over missed opportunities, but there is quite a lot of risk involved.

Interesting, because I gained millions a few days after posting that...when Polycoin went to 80,000 satoshi.

i don't like to think about this one. when bitcoin was rallying in early march, i thought it was a fakeout. i shorted at 585, stopped out my position and lost $1500 in about 30 minutes. :-\

1BTC
Damn those hackers  >:(

642BTC the day pay.btc stopped responding to PMs and ran off.  Pirate's ponzi was the same as gambling >:(

my highest loss in a Day of btc on a gambling site i lost round 0.2 ... :D shit.. thts was my all earning i lost in seconds.. :D

Yeah BurtW lost a few more than me, but probably because he got in earlier.  I didn't get in until May and that was stupid.  I should have doubled and ran but max.btc didn't respond to my PMs since he ran off with the money most likely.

Let's go buy some pitchforks and fly down to Texas, we can bring Chuck Norris with us  :o

I just lost 0.01BTC  :-[

I can feel your pain :(

$185,000.00 USD in a real estate transaction that soured.

That one hurt!

$10...at that time it meant a lot to me

In US real-estate that's not that bad.  We have 1 home that was bought for 600K and went down to 330K at one time.  It's still about 110K under.

I've lost 0.1 BTC, which is actually the most I've ever had. (Yeah, I'm poor...)
How? Inputs.io
Now I know better than to use online wallets...

An expensive but worth lesson.  I have learned not to touch ponzi schemes even if BTC is only $6 and I was minting 10 BTC a day :(

about 100$ on a bet

Decided to play around with forex trading back in 2011. Lost about $200 in the space of three days, or about $100 in one. Fortunately made most of it all back a few days later, withdrew it all, and never traded forex again.
