Bitcoin Forum

I have lost Hugh amount of bitcoin, and I believe some person's here too have gone through same. Can we please share our experience and lessons.

My story :My wallet was hacked, by God knows who. That was 2017 may. I logged in to my blockchain wallet to notice that 0.9  btc I have been accumulating Since 2016 has been taken. Leaving less than $5 worth of bitcoin for me.

My lesson :  don't trust anyone with your crypto, laptop or password. Because I believe someone close to me did that.

if you do not have the knowledge to trade, you will lose, I suggest from now you do not have to trade, keep your coins in a long time, it is a good decision

I see many people loosing their coins just because they were not that much concerned about privacy. They shared their account information with others. So, it is very important not to share account passwords and other information to anyone. Moreover, it is necessary to have proper knowledge of doing transactions.

Well, how exactly did you lose your coin OP? I really wanted to know that when I saw the title? Was it a hack? Lost private key? Force?

One can lose his coins through several means, being it through trading, hacking and several others. I think we can better share our experiences like you are requesting if you were specific as to which area you lost your coins

I am interested to know how OP lost his coin as well. In any case, there are plenty of scams and hacks going on. OP, please be careful and beware of such incidents.

Why? and how did you lost your coin? Is it being hacked by someone? are you being phished out? or you are disclosing your private keys? Well many of the members here had gone with losing also and that includes  big exchanges that are being target also by the hackers or hijackers. The problem with some digital wallet are the security that could be breach out by these hijackers or hackers.

HOW did you lose your Bitcoin anyway? Does someone take it from your wallet? or someone hacks your account? or simply you entered a phishing site accidentally?

or perhaps you mistakenly place the wrong Bitcoin wallet? Check the transaction carefully since the transfer history is there.

You didnt stated the reason on how did you lost your bitcoins. So how? Most people that lost their cryptocurrency is because of either scam or hack and people that mostly experiencing this is those who dont know how to secure their coin by themselves and also not aware of this scams. Another reason to lost a coin is because of forgotten private key. I havent lost any of my cryptocurrency so I cant share any stories about this.

There are many who have lost in the initial stages of their trading or some have lost in the ponzi schemes. I am one of those who lost in ponzi schemes literaaly everything i had. But somehow i mamged to pull back and recoveres my losses and earned even profit.

If you were hacked, i recommend you to store your crypto assets on a hardware device like Trezor or Ledger. I hope you didn't have a big percentage of your savings invested in the bitcoins that you have lost. Many people have lost coins in the beginning of their crypto journey, but still managed to make nice profits afterwards.

if you are talking about scam
Yes one time i here deal with a guy from Vietnam , that was mys mistake i sent bitcoins first and he sent fake gift card and run away with my money never come back to the account.
i will suggest to use Escrow service,

if about trading scams
BE safe while trading never your private key of ether with any website of google forms , if any asks sure they will stole your coins from wallet.
never fall into trap who says this coin will be pumped or dumped ,they just make money by publicity noting else believe me

. and one thing this is alt-coin discussion section you cannot talk about bitcoins here move your post to bitcoin section or scam one

When you are always in a rush to sell your coin, you will always regret it some years to come. That is how the game. At least sell them at a cool price and do something good with that FIAT. Or you can decide to split and invest again with the half.

Can you share on how much you've lost and you lost in trading or you are hacked?

I'm sorry for your lost. You need to learn from your mistakes. How about hiding all your coins into a hard wallet devices? Do you have your private key with you? There are coins that you need to track Like Nem they have MultiSig wallet which i fond off.

I was expecting you to share with how you lost you btc so what we can avoid possible case in the future when faced with such scenero.

I think that in the world of crypto currency you need to be very careful. Because now there is a lot of speculation. You need to choose a good purse, you need to take your accounts. Keep your information secret. In the beginning, well, you need to invest a lot. Start with small sums and so on.

How did you lose it? Was your wallet hacked or you lost on wrong trading decisions? I fill very sorry for people who lose money, as it is for most of us it is very hard earned money, but you should go through this and you have a great opportunity as the price is very low right now, could recover and earn some money. Good luck

I think it’s not anybody’s fault
But best opinion is
If you cannot handle the pressure that goes with trading nor have the experience in trading
You need to stay out of it and just hodl your coins
It’s better than your loss
Hopefully you learn a lot from this thread

I was scammed before on telegram during an ICO- gotta learn to lose and learn from mistakes

How exactly did you lost your bitcoin. If you want to share it with the forum then the forum can find what causes the loss of yours. I think if your private keys do not get leaked then there is no way your wallet can be accessible to others. May be somehow your keys got leaked.

I was so pissed, but I feel we have so much opportunity in this space for growth it didn't matter

it could be that he lost bitcoin for holding bitcoin and now the price is decreasing so he talks has lost or made sales below the price he bought

In this market it is very difficult to trade so all pass these lessons, therefore, we learn how to lose their money, so you need to be careful and learn from the mistakes of strangers.

If you do not have a knowledge to invest, you can lost your money. We lost too, we are learning and still lost. In this market, every lesson is very expensive

Me too - just a few days ago.  I lost 5 ETH to scammers, thinking I was investing in the Iagon ICO.  Scammers impersonated the Iagon CEO on telegram and created a fake Iagon telegram group that looked official.  It was my fault for not being more vigilant.

There are now huge investors who are trading in this market. With the ever increasing demand of this market, it has been also the attraction of the hackers also and thieves are everywhere. So to be safe from the thieves, you will need to have some general knowledge of this market and technology. So be careful about your security.

Yes, more knowledge is needed to trade. The ability to analyze market conditions must be owned, otherwise you should be prepared to lose. Long-term investment is very good, just need patience to make a profit.

I never lost any amount of my ether or nor bitcoin because I have used the hardware wallet to store them all. It gives me possibility to put more security to my amount. If you are using trezor and there will be a lot of verification before you can access your amount. Try to use the safest way to store your amount.

I also experienced it. that time I bought eth and hold for too long, finally all the price of the market down and I feel a loss.
but until now I still hold, because I do not want to sell in a state of loss.

You need to explain also here the loss of Bitcoin that you experience it why? What caused it? So that the experience you want to know from us can be explained and become a new science for all of us who move on crypto.
So far I have not experienced the loss of Bitcoin. But I can mention that such incidents seem to be done deliberately, given the activity of crypto directly related to the internet.

You lose your coin. That still happens to many people. Me too! Since they have no experience, they have lost a fair amount of money when investing in lost money. But then I learned lessons should not be long-term investment for currency is always fluctuating in price.

of course that's sure to happen for everyone, but more speci fi cally at the loss of the impact of the downturn.
As for other bad experiences in this industry, you should be able to make the experience so as not to happen again. at least it can prevent for losses

There are several ways to lose your crypto: to forget the password, hackers attack, HDD crash (with no wallet backups), exchange collapse, and not good trade... And I'm curious how topic starter has lost his coins...

Well indeed, but there are other reasons for losing coins is because of a forgotten private key. I have never lost cryptocurrency so I can not share my story about it. But for most people losing their cryptocurrency is due to fraud or hack and the people who mostly experience this are those who do not know how to secure their own coins and are also unaware of this scam.

As for me, I lost my tokens on exchange. All my tokens were on it and soon It was scam. So put your money only in the wallets with private keys. It is much safer.

Whenever something is successful, hackers will smell money and will try to hack into the system to make easy money out of it. The crypto market has become very popular nowadays and hackers are at galore. We need to be careful and need to know the guidelines to save ourselves from getting scammed.  ::)  ::)

I think they are 2 scenario, as you said maybe someone close to you got access to your laptop or password and second your a victim of phishing.
Phishing is common on emails pretending to be your wallet but it comes from different email deceiving you, to avoid this install some phishing protection and always check the url of the site before entering important details.

i totally agree with you mate, do not trust anyone with your accounts especially with your wallet. also try to do safe browsing thats for your own security, there are lot of phishing site's right now that want to hack your holdings. keep your private key and store it safe. always be vigilant especially when you filled up on airdrops.

Many scammers want to steal our money, we need to more closely monitor the information that we pass on to someone and carefully check the sites we visit.

yes I also experienced it, and it is very annoying because that is taken not a bit. when I made a deposit to my wallet and I wanted to take it, there was nothing there. is there a solution about the security of the wallet so as not to be hacked again?

 I think you did not do work on your privacy that's your account was hacked and you lost your coin you have to do work on the privacy

This type of lost means that it is not because of crypto declining that is the cause of the huge lost. It is because of negligence in the part of the person or too much trust to someone. We should be extra careful with our investment security.

I'm sorry.This will serve as a lesson for you in the future.And the incentive to make even more money.

The issue of safety of cryptocurrency storage for most of us should be the most important. It is very difficult to earn cryptocurrency, and to lose it on the contrary is very easy.

If you want to get success here you should be more careful and less talking. What is more, have few types of security to save your money and projects.

you probably have some virus on your computer installing it would be the best even somebody have your laptop password. blockchain doesn't authorize any logins without email authorization if you have the basic security unless the hacker have your email and password always have 2fa on your emails. buying a hardware wallet will be the best option if you want your tokens to be really safe.

You are right. We should not easily trust someone because anyone had different attitude. Trust no one because even your close friend can betray you.  So inorder for you to decrease the percentage of having a loss then you must think wisely before doing such things.

If you have earned bitcoin and decided to save it for a long time, use cold wallets! and do not tell anyone about its existence.

I would also recommend not to open suspicious pages and yes don’t ever give your password anyone. When it comes to money, even friends can betray you.

Use it as experience and never repeat the same mistakes. My experience say, if someone send you link in many platform ( email, social media, telegram ) don't click and ignore the person, unless you know and have interest with him. Another thing is, never save your crypto in long time on your wallet. In this case you should fast and replace your asset into currency or personal wallet that only you know the password. Do that and never give up, good luck to you.

What's the date of the last transaction for your blockchain wallet? Put the bitcoin wallet address here maybe someone phished you and he's part of the forum.
It's your money so trust no one with it.

Just don't ever trust anyone, because it will only cause you trouble in the future. Our market has a lot of people with bad intentions, who only wants easy ways to earn. We all have learned our lessons somehow and we just have to be cautious at all times.

Sometimes it is good to HODL your coins than use in in trading. Because by holding your coins,you are always a winner. :)

because you are very naive, so you lose coins here in Socratus you could get 2 times more

Scammers also use money to scam, just like doing fake website for phishing, I was a victim of fake myetherwallet phishing, being new to ether is very risky, I lost all my token and eth all worth $1000 after clicking google ads on a search result for "myetherwallet" and log in using my code.

My tip is to always search how to use and secure a wallet before using as well in online wallet if its safe or fake.

It's easy enough to lose money. It is enough not to understand the basics of technical analysis and invest money.

You mean that your wallet was hacked by someone and stolen all your Bitcoin? Would you mind post your BTC address in here, don't forget to monitor your BTC transfer address, even BTC is anonymously but you till can find out where it to go, maybe you can catch this theft in one day.

that is the risk of having coin in your wallet specially you will leave it for a year, it should be a lesson to you that you should keep it in your private wallet with 2fa so that your coin is much secured.

Thankfully never lost any coins, but I think you need to trust someone atleast, although that is difficult. For instance my father has all my secret keys incase something happens to me.

I get the caution, and it's definitely needed, but you also don't want to lose all those coins should something happen to you, better your family get them or something.

I'm sorry about that loss, that must have hurt so much. Never trust friends.

Good lesson, especially for newbie. And this became one of the cons of the p2p frenetic scene that we are proud of.

In this case you should keep and watch out for securing your wallet from everything, either your friends or your family. If you connect your wallet on the internet you should pay attention to delete the history of the browser to keep your wallet safe. It all depends on you how to secure it and if you neglect to do so you can lose property in your wallet.

I see many users are facing this issue,  ::) at first I want to say if you Doesn't have the knowledge to trading then you will loss but there is can be severel more reason behind it so my suggestion will be get aware about exchanging policy before involving with any trading.

Do not worry too much about losses on the cryptocurrency market. The biggest part of money that users have is not earned but acquired through speculation on the market. That’s all and nothing more believe me.

As for me, I lost my tokens on exchange. All my tokens were on it and soon It was scam. So put your money only in the wallets with private keys. It is much safer.

I think its better bouble check before you log in fake site becasue you account if you log in fake site you account or wallet is hack always research a true site before you log in your account or wallet.

Thanks for your information. I felt I had to be wary of the people around me. Wherever possible keep your private key in a safe place. I recommend buying wallet hardware because the security level is better than an online wallet.

Thats why I always split my amount in various exchange and wallets. Suppose I have 1 btc then I split them in 10 parts so if I loose some amount I didn't regret for that.

Then I want to buy a hardware wallet is a good choice. ;D
Because the hardware wallet is secure enough, you can avoid these situations.

In this market it is very difficult to trade so all pass these lessons, therefore, we learn how to lose their money, so you need to be careful and learn from the mistakes of strangers.

Thank you for sharing, and I am sorry to hear it. And a lesson like this will be useful for anyone especially beginners.

Yes. a friend to you. Frequently touching your computer has done it. You should leave it all out if you do not use it. The safest way to do this is if your computer is running and you are not there

This is the best option! Buying a hardware wallet will increase the security level of your wallet, but do not share with anyone the words for recovery.

A very nice of you to share this kind of experience. And I agree with you that don’t  trust anyone with your password, private key etc in this world of crypto and even the outside world in terms of money some people really having the evil plans just to get coins. So the only person you need to trust is yourself, except to your Wife if she is into crypto.

did you give your password to anyone?

Your first mistake was leaving your coins in a hot wallet, a hot wallet like an online wallet is fine if you are going to do some spending so you can always access your wallet from your smartphone but you should only carry some small amount of money but when you are accumulating coins you should do it in a clean machine, a hardware wallet or a paper wallet.

It happens, especially if you are not very territorial about your assets. Get a hardware wallet, keep it secure, do not share info with anyone.

Most of us have encountered that kind of scammy experience wherein we have trusted people who has ill intentions against us. Also there are those who lost their coins whether its bitcoin or another coin or token because of negligence like lost or stolen laptops or gadgets or that break down and the hard drive cannot be retrieved losing all those coins forever.

margin trading is not easy, but the profits that can you get from margin trading are also great. I advise you to do artbitraging rather than margin trading if you have not experience in margin trading. artibitraging I think is easier if the moment is good

Yes we should aware about our hardworking money. It is sorrow that you lost your bitcoin. Though you said that you relative did the shit work so i think may be your relative stool your pass word or private from your laptop or mobile phone. thanks for sharing your story of losing bitcoin That help people to aware of their money.

your experience may also have been experienced by many people here, so maybe this will make the lesson for everything here to really save the bitcoin we have as good as possible, many friends or people around us will do something to us that will never we know, so we should not be too easy to trust everyone, and do not let you give your key or password to anyone you do not really trust.

What a sad story,  i am so sorry for your loss,  people are being advised daily not to store their private keys online,  because  they can be hacked

I think that this will serve as a lesson for you and from now on you will be more careful, but the price of the lesson is quite high. Keep your keys and passwords out of reach.

That's why internet far more risky if you do not extra carefull !
This incident can be prevent if you are aware for yourself and around you because when money is talking, their mind & soul will got manipulate.


Actually never let them use your personal PC or smartphone even if they are your best friend !

You can only trust yourself, you never know where the attacker is hiding. Be very careful and safe not to tell anyone about your means, many people change very much when they can get a profit.

in crypto don't trust anyone is good to do and always back up your file safety, no cloud services and don't ever do anything with your laptop that contains wallet. it is like better you have 2 laptops and 1 for wallet, 1 for activity

I've experienced similar things, but most of the cases that happen to hacker losses are mostly caused by negligent and negligent acts, yes. I think you should re-evaluate and prioritize your laptop or laptop's pc. install antivirus and internet security in order to avoid from virus attack.

Privacy has really been a huge challenge for a very lot of newbies in this space and I wonder why some people do not equip themselves with enough knowledge to be able to know how to do better when it comes to security of their funds or their wallets.

In fact, his last statement of not trusting anyone with their crypto, laptop or password shows that he must have by himself ended up screwing things up by not paying so much attention to security and that is one bad move to make in this space.

Do not trust anyone with your passwords, moreover, even in a purse you can enter better only when you need to make a transaction. The main thing is to make a bookmark of the purse, otherwise you can not see the substitution of the site name and give your password to scammers. Be careful, I'm sorry for you.  :-[

0.9 was so much back in 2017
you have 0.9btc in wallet but didn't have money to buy a hard wallet?
I think the robber should be punish.
but your fault was big too.
too innocent.

Got stolen by someone near to you can be so depressing
Back to the theme, there was a period for me in crypto when I took part in all airdrops and bounties I met. Remembering all the different passwords would cause a headache for me. Writing them down is also a bad idea. So I was using the same login-password for many sites and it looks like that one of them was a bad guy and they used this to get access to many other accounts. It was not that much in a result, but when you're in the beginning, it may hurt you

My wallets were hacked too but it's all my fault. I kept all information on google drive and someone has stolen it. So don't use this method of backup.

That was unfortunate and this would really be always a lesson learn for anyone where we do experience such loss before we do already aware on such thing. We can eventually avoid the possible risk and don't let that thing happen to us if we are just sensible and responsible to possible actions specially on keeping out safe our wallet into other people and besides blockchchain wallet or any other web-wallets in the net isn't really ideal to store up coins for long term.

Don't trust anyone. This is the drawback of crypto that there is no trace left. If anyone can get your credentials then he/she can bankrupt you without you having any kind of proof. Stay safe, trust no one.

Out of curiosity, how that happened?

Did someone hacked you, you enter to phishing site or you simple had keylogger and didn't run antivirus?

Blockchain isn't really easy to hack, if you turn on security(2fa and everything) i don't think anyone can bypass that.

I almost lost 5 ETH about 1,5 years ago. I sent to exchange 5 Eth from local wallet and did not see any changes so I repeated again until transaction passed. In few days I mined 5 Eth and suddenly they disappeared. It was bug in Eth wallet related to my 2-nd transaction. I was lucky to reveal it in time. I created another order on crypto exchange and took money back.

That's a big question to me also, what the hell happened to that thing? how did you lost all of your funds?
I guarantee you need a back up private key or use hardware wallet. I think you should download Ghost VPn so hackers
will not compromise your computer.

And if you knew it was so dangerous why did you engaged in it? This is my big problem with some people here in the forum, the market is already very risky without the need to add even more risk and yet people choose all kind of risky strategies, like day trading or shorting bitcoin, and while the profits can be impressive if everything goes right when it does not you will lose most of your capital.

Do not worry because there are many ways to get more money that you have lost and these chances will increase only. Be more far-sighted and patient.

I don't understand why people don't buy a cheap hardware wallet, it's very simple to avoid being hacked. With the Ledger Nano S, they get rid of their troubles very easily.

even do not use a website to store your crypto. you must own your private keys of your crypto. otherwise its not yours. also do not store your private keys online. use a hardware wallet or a paper wallet. then you will be 100% safe. keep few backups too

Really a very unfortunate encounter. Once the market enters the bear market, there will be a lot of hackers, and various attack exchanges, personal computers, they always get their ill-gotten gains through their own technology. So don't let your private key appear on the web.

Thats awful when things happen like this, escpecially when someone close to you took a part in it, crypto easy to steal by different ways, the best to do is hold it on usb and dont tell anyone about your holdings

If ever that you've experienced it while you don't know where elsewhere did that all things came from then you should be worried that this might because of the hackers or something. Since we are here in a world of digital currency we can't figure it out what's going on in the market and if you can make as far as you can to built a very own private security then go for it

Even you are using hardware or paper wallet still there is no 100% assurance of being since we need those keys for online transaction. Only it is less possibility of being hack. The securities we bond is our own handling of private keys and mostly people get hack due to visiting questionable sites. That's why we need to check it first before doing anything.

Always use hardware wallet to store your crypto for a longer run. Never trust any exchange or online sites for keeping them for a long time. Sad you learn it on a harder way.

That's just sad. I would personally not trust anyone with that kind of stuff, unless it's like my family. This business has it's risk but there are

ways to avoid them. You should have invested into a hardware wallet. If your bitcoin sum was a decent amount I'm sure that was easily

possible.

That is just the way it is, we should never trust in anyone and we must be paranoid about our coins, I know that may sound to be an unhealthy attitude but with the amount of scams and hacks in the forum and the fact that once you lose your coins there is nothing you can do then it is very important to safeguard your coins to the best of your ability and buying a hardware wallet is definitely a good idea.

They shared their account information with others. So, it is very important not to share account passwords and other information to anyone. Moreover, it is necessary to have proper knowledge of doing transactions.

there are many cases of hacking wallets and I deeply regret this is especially what is hacked is a wallet that has a high coin value in it
I am sorry for your loss hopefully this can be a learning for us all to be more careful and hopefully cases like this will not happen again

There are now huge investors who are trading in this market. With the ever increasing demand of this market, it has been also the attraction of the hackers also and thieves are everywhere. So to be safe from the thieves, you will need to have some general knowledge of this market and technology. So be careful about your security.

My first and I hope last case when I loose some of my coins. I think in some of google table I filllednot of my eth address but my secret password. I think so) now I hide password in place were hard to find and made same mistake)

I think if you are new in the market then you should have participate with little amount because there are chance you have lost your coins. Second thing is security of your digital wallet. If you can not maintain your secret paswords or key then you may be lost your coins.

Buy hogh sell low !! Never sell always hold when your coin loose value

If you decide to invest in crypto currency then you need to take care of the reliability of your access keys. A lot of people lost their money because of their own inattention.

yeah in crypto currency world you can't trust anyone, cause even your friend can hack your account too. and never visit a scam site you can know about it from the  web address.

I am very sorry to hear it, and 0.9 btc is a lot of numbers for me, if true even your close friends can not be trusted, this is very disappointing, and from now on I also must be more vigilant again

So sorry to hear this. A friend of mine have lost a couple of bitcoins in his wallet. He left his private keys in his email without deleting it and his email was hacked and the hacker got his private keys and moved his coins. It was a painful moment for him.

I dont have any experience like this, that someone close to you then do get your bitcoin,  thats very insane.
I got lost my bitcoin from the moment that ive forgot my 12 phrase, i remember that i do save it on a notepad inside the download folder, then when the times that i need to recover my fund, i lost that notepad elsewhere and i cannot find it. Then i realize that i erase all the documents inside that folder.

Lesson is dont store your back-up phrase on any gadgets, write it on a paper and hide it in a very safest place that you know.

You can't blame it to anyone but yourself :). Why don't you set up 2FA for your wallet? I think if your 2FA security everything would be different :). At least this hacker still left $5 for you. LOL. Try to be careful next time and don't forget to set up password for your computer as well to make sure that you're the only one who can access to your computer :)

I've also lost my token on my wallet nor do I understand why someone can steal my coins just like that. several months ago I was very disappointed with the situation. because I can not do anything for what happened to me.
the lesson that I can take is never give a secret key to anyone for any reason. beware of phishing websites, hackers lurk you

I think everybody should use a hardwallet or special offline computer for holding cryptocurrencies. There are a lot of stories about loosing coins from unsafe wallets.

This is not a big loss, luckily, but it can hurt. Why did not you use TREZOR? you would not have the situation ...

Ouch, that hurts man, but I have seen this in action, when I invested in an ico I received lots of messages on slack with links that were phishing links, knowing it was a scam I never clicked on them but some people did and they were asked for their private key and some people were naive enough to give that information away, as you may guess they lost all their coins. 

It's probably you've dropped somewhere else your btc private key. That's why :D. I believe that you can't lose something out of nothing. You probably just careless on that sorry.

with the price now of course many people who suffer losses because it bought at a price much more expensive especially if the person bought bitcoin at the beginning of the year at which time it was very expensive
but if you want to be patient you may be able to reduce your losses because bitcoin still has a great chance to get back to the high price

Why don't you use hardware wallet? I think that everyone who has large amount of BTC or other alts must have this device. One wallet and no problems!

The best way to protect yourself - don't tell anyone about your assets.

Absolutely your had point don't trust anybody to in your crypto password specially if your laptop or any gadget involve in you crypto work if need it to repair need to secure all information about your storage wallet are deleted to avoid hacking or stealinof your bitcoin investment. I was experience since early startingbin crypto i lose my small amount of bitcoin sending in the wrong address.

The problem is usual during trading mostly hacked specially if the person involve not have enough knowledge during trading time. But i know you have an idea for trading. additonal inputs, just dont open many times your wallet for you to your wallet not be visible to the hacker. If you want to just open it to etherscan for security.

Thank you for useful information gained from this thread actually who benefit more is newbie like me starting late from zero knowledge  .
So No trust is rule no 1 to keep you safe from hackers lead to lost coins .
Thank you again

Sorry to hear about your big loss. 0.9 BTC obviously a huge amount. But the good thing is you are recovering, right? Good luck with your future.
Your complaint about crypto is a bitter truth. Everything has a chance to attack by the hackers. Laptop, PC or smartphone all devices can hack anytime. That's why I suggest you buy a hardware wallet like ledger or trezor. Never save your wallet key or phrase code in online. Try to write in offline and use hardware wallet to avoid all those scam and hacks. Though you mentioned who can steal your money. I suggest to catch him/ her and give a lesson for his sin.

Didn't you get notification when someone tries to log into your account? Blockchain wallet have this feature but this doesn't mean it is not vulnerable. We should either use hardware wallet or paper wallet to store our bitcoins for long term holding. Web wallets like block chain is not fully secure and sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to lose your big bitcoin, which is important now that you're back to recover bitcoin for investment. all things can happen to the world of crypto let alone many big risks that we will face, whether the assets we have hit by hack or stolen by our closest people who also know all that we have, our most important ourselves to remain cautious things like that do not happen again. my advice if you have a savings account of money, now is the right time to buy bitcoin while the price is still quite low and affordable.

It is a sad thing to see that you lose your money or even hear that someone else did. I'm sorry for that. I would advise that if you still have some spare funds, you should still consider investing in a secure coin. Do not let this loss hold you from securing your finance future by investing in this great market. Be sure to be more safe in your dealings this time around. Only invest in coins you have technically analysed and are sure it's a good investment.

I have not lose any bitcoin or altcoin by hacking but I have friends like you who store their private key in the notepad or todo list app. They are more likely to lose their cryptocurrency if their phone will be stolen or hacked.

Take heart bro, you don't trust people with your life even your close associate. Anybody can betray you when it comes to money. You've just learnt your lesson but sorry this has to come in a hard way

Thanks for ths great advise bro,that dont trust anyone with your crypto,or some password into your wallet,its would give us  good lesson being as a crypto earner,while in my own experience also,i became a victim of hacking situation in my MEW wallet,i dont know why they can access my wallet,because only things i can do is looking my altcoins on those my  wallet using my private key,but i found later after that situation happen thats its not secure to used private  key when looking to my etherwallet.

For doing business in this market you need to know many things about this market. I suggest you invest for long time and you also need to provide a good privacy for your coin.

Basically, cryptocurrency world providing benefits and also risks if we didn't use it properly. if we are careless then it will be fatal like a hacked wallet who we know that is fatal. to join cryptocurrency we must really study it well to avoid something that is dangerous. the most important thing is we have to be more careful and patient.

In other words, someone close to you knew your password or private keys. Well, that should be a major lesson for you 'coz the temptation of getting hold of easy or free money is pretty much hard to resist. Simply put, you were careless. That is something you need to work on to prevent the same thing from happening again.

I am grieving over what is going on, this is the world of crypto, not all friends are d friends, when he knows we have more advantages than him surely there will be jealousy, therefore be very careful when using your personal data, do not give a private key you or give it to others, keep it well and if in a state of necessity, you must certainly choose the right friend and believe, hope this is your last experience when you are harmed by other parties.

You didnot mention that how did you lose your coin. If you mention that than it will be better for us to explain you why it has happened. Other wise we cannot give you the solution.

Most people that lose their coins lose them because they were careless, there are people that give up their private key, there are some that when setting up a node they let someone else to do it for them and they lose their coins to the other guy, people click in links coming from unknown people and get a spyware that gives all the information to a hacker, this is why we must be very careful since there are hundreds of ways to lose your coins.

Observance of elementary security conditions when storing passwords and accessing your wallet is perhaps the most important thing when working with crypto-currencies. Always observe basic security conditions and with your assets everything will be fine.

My experience is that when I joined the crypto space newly and wanted to invest in an ICO, I didn't know how to go about it, I asked a question in the group, someone private chat me using the admin name and picture, long story short, I send 1 ETH to the eth he provided to me, only for me to notice it was a scam few days later.

My reason: Don't jump into cryptos as a newbie without learning much about cryptos.

That's horrible. That's why I don't even trust my family members with my computer, because you just never know. Just because they're family doesn't mean they are angels, especially when it comes to money manners. Criminals have family too. Hopefully you bought back before the big boom.

I sold one crypto to buy another, and right after the coin that I sold mooned. Determined not to make such a mistake, I held the coin that I sold with, just hoping and praying that it will make up the difference, but it went on to lose it's value like 10x.

Lesson learned, I was dumb.

I was fortunate not to make that kind of mistake but sadly many people do becaus ethey sell btc in order to buy some coin and that coin dips at the same time when BTC rises and you have a double loss. I try not to sell my BTC, just buy more from time to time. It'll worth very much in the future.

We really need to be careful with our private key as well. A friend lost a huge amount of money as well, his wallet got hacked and it led to a great loss. I will suggest that we are very protective of our private key. And also I think there is a way one can secure his wallet from being hacked using a hardware but I can't really recall now

It is a pity to hear it, now there are many stories from people who lost their bitcoins because of hackers. Do not suspect people next to you, it's best to check your computer for viruses

As for any financial investments, be it ordinary money or a crypto currency, all investments must be protected. And anyone can not be trusted or show keys or wallets categorically.

Because he didn't know what's going on with his wallet, so he can't mention it.
To OP: Have you ever thought of getting a keylogger, or having mistakenly clicked on a phishing link. Where do you store the private key? Because you suspect the people around you, I think you store it on your computer without password. That's mistake. Hope you will be more careful.

If you keep your BTC in blockchain, you may have encountered the special characters used to access the wallet. And if you say you've been attacked without revealing specific characters, then I do not know why your BTC is lost.

i am a protective person. i NEVER trust anyone even they are my close friend
IMHO every bad thing can happen, we must avoid it

Cryptocurrency is not a world where you should trust people , you can be considered their opinion ,nothing more .

According to my experience, one can lost their coins only when some other person like hacker hack their accounts. In my experience if you have no knowledge about the trading then do not invest. Always try to save your keys and passwords as a hard copy in lockers and do not save it on the PC.

Oh, such stories I think is not less than a million, every day someone becomes a victim of robbery in the crypto-currency world. I also had this situation, and it happened in November or December 2017. Then I stole$ 2,000 worth of coins. When I went into my wallet and saw the transfer transactions and zeros on the account, I was just paralyzed a few minutes from what I saw. It was very sad and sad, because the money from the sky I did not fall and I was sorry to lose them. But then I began to study the security of their wallets and came to the conclusion that it is safer to have in the Arsenal of "cold wallet". In fact, a very convenient topic. the password can only be entered manually, it is not connected to a computer or laptop. However, if you have assumptions, that you robbed your familiar, then recommend you at all on the future go about how, how many and what you invested and that you have such a web wallet. Because people are different and do not always have all good intentions, so it is better to keep quiet about their money transactions.

I Almost lost my coins on fishing site. I found in google poloniex on the first place and it looks totally the saim. And only stopped me they asked me 2fa again, but I was doing everything correct. And I decided to check again. And I saw a little difference in the name, haven't seen the first time. Be patient and check everything before giving your info.

A sad story I think many will be an example to not once give their data to even very close people

It's a pity. But don't give up. Crypto will give you a chance to recover your deposit if you know how.

How sad for you, bitcoin wallet is really important to us, we should secure it in very private place, never ever leave your private keys anywhere, store it in very secret place. And also don't leave your laptops or PCs anywhere.

This is an experience for us to more careful with our asset, no matter who is your friends but you don't trust anymore with them.
I know what you feel, but I just can give you motivation to get more money in crypto.

your story can be an example for people to actually save a password without anyone knows, be careful to enter the web so as not exposed to phishing. but if your wallet was hacked correctly, can thieves not be caught by looking at thieves position through IP address? because my friend also been hit by a hack, but not in find out just he let his coins disappear.

I can assume that the most important thing in this story is that you are caring your lesson from it, and you are not just disappointed and appattic.

I suppose it is really hart to lose your investments so I try to be as much cautious, sometimes even to much.

At least you have learned your lesson. All of my private keys, passwords, seeds or so are safe and secure. I didn’t reveal this to anyone, not even my own blood. Not even my best friend and companion because these ones cannot be changed. It is one good thing about crypto that we should discipline ourselves in storing all of our important data and information. Just my two sats.

I have not lost my cons to hackers. Most of my losses was as a result of poor trading decisions. I held some coins for too long until their price diminished to almost nothing.

you know, when it comes to that, you must not let anyone to know your passwords and some important things, you should be the only one who has the only access to you account especially in your wallet, that will be the lesson for you, you must not let other people know about such information.

I see numerous individuals loosing their coins since they were not that much worried about security. They imparted their record data to others. In this way, it is vital not to share account passwords and other data to anybody. In addition, it is important to have legitimate learning of doing exchanges.

This is going not become even more common in the future, if the people here are those that have a greater awareness about bitcoin and have a better understanding of the technology, what do you think it is going to happen when your average internet user begins to use cryptocurrencies? There are going to be many hundreds of cases every day about people losing their coins to hackers and scammers.

Asides escrow services on bounty on this forum and ICO I dont know of any escrow service that can offer this kind of service outside here. Can you some please recommend?

Alas, you should not trust people when it comes to money. You must have a separate computer or laptop for work with crypto currency.

Computer security first. You should understand that around us, both in real life and on the Internet, there are a lot of crooks and you need to protect yourself from this.

Damn. That’s pretty shit. Sorry to hear that, whoever you think did it you should confront as stealing is bang out of order. Maybe in future get a cold wallet to add a layer of protection

One of the biggest  problems in crypto is security. In the crypto world there is no police and controlling bodies. Cyber crooks are not punished, so the number of them grows.
The protection of their means is a personal matter.
Do not neglect computer security!

If you want protection then put your money into a bank.  ;D
I know it's funny but the point that the market is decentralized it means that nobody is governing it and it's more prone to scams and thefts and there is no one to protect you from it nor to punish the perpetrators. Sad but true.

I do not think that it was made by someone close to you, most likely you have been hacked and you have on the computer would have installed some malicious software. In any case, I believe that you should protect yourself as much as possible, otherwise you risk losing everything.

Criminals are punished what it happens is that the nature of bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrencies make it very difficult to block them, once they have the money they stole you cannot take it away from them like you can with fiat, this is a great characteristic for those like us who believe in completely owning our money but criminals are abusing this feature of bitcoin.

As a result of decentralisation, the security blockchain was supposed to offer have become a major problem. Truth be told you're more likely to be scammed in crypto than your bank account, at least if you notice any phishy transaction from your bank account you have someone to report to but if it happens in crypto, sadly you are on your own. When I joined bounty early I made a mistake and entered my private key in one of the forms I filled but by the time I noticed it, it was already too late. I watched as someone transferred my tokens from my wallet and I was helpless and couldn't stop or reverse the transactions.

I really still wonder why a lot of investors do not care taking the security of their assets seriously. We must realize that protecting our assets must be more important than earning new things.
I asked a friend of mine who has been able to accrue something tangible in the crypto world few days back if he has finally gotten a hardware wallet and his response was it is too high on the price and my response was if you think a beefed up security is expensive, trying losing your funds to hackers by any means. Security is very paramount and no one should take it with levity at all.

Many people lose the value almost more than 70% but this is due to sudden growth in the last year. If we sell them now we are going to loose the value.

Never trust anybody about your bitcoin balance, you have keep secure your blockchain data account is save for yourself, you can save it by using your manual data or you write on your note book. Never give to other about your blockchain data because bitcoin have higher price and make every one will stole your bitcoin balance. Next time never give any one your log in data and save for your self.

If I have a huge amount of Bitcoin or another Altcoins, I just save it in the only place. That is in cold-storage wallet. Although, it is quite annoying when trading, but it is the best safe way now. Never save much money in Exchanges and online-wallets

it happens because your account was hacked by someone who is expert in hacking. and you are less careful in securing your wallet. my advice do not open your wallet through smartphone because it's easy to hack.

Well, the OP didn't lose the money because of the value of bitcoin its just so happen that someone is hacking his personal details about his wallet which is very unfortunate for him. Learn to secure all your assets here in crypto, because everyone wants to have bitcoin and for sure if they see an opportunity like that they will hack you at any way.

I never lost any of my coins though hacks, but I lost a huge number of coins in various ponzi schemes (in 2013). Anyway, take this as a lesson in life experience and try to be careful in then future.

Sorry for your loss, sometimes we learn lessons in a very hard way and never forget these lessons for the life same is your case.

I think many people do not understand in using cryptocurrency. before you join crypto there should be an education about privacy in cryptocurrency, you should not inform anything about all your accounts and most importantly your wallet, never talk about it to anyone else.

You're right, don't trust anyone. Always take your funds safety with you, use strong password and good antivirus software, never click on any strange links.

I stored my tokens with MEW and i installed metamask for additional safe. Metamask is a google chrome extension and no need to give MEW passwords to internet. Further always bookmark your website and log from there only since there are so many phishing websites. Do  not click suspicious web links and they can track your passwords.

it is indeed a risk that must be faced when we decide to invest in crypto. here's a lot of scams and hacking, so you have to learn a lot from mistakes. my advice is to use hardware wallet because it is safer.

It is true that there are many scams going on in the market but that is false, most scammers and hackers are in fiat, credit card fraud is huge and it is a global problem, the issue is that in fiat you can get your money back or block the account in which the stolen money was received but this is impossible with bitcoin, and we knew from the beginning that we are in our own since one of the most famous slogans of bitcoin is to be our bank so you have no one to call for help.

very sad to hear that , money could always turn people to evil. You can't blame them but you can also see the possibility that your computer has been infected and that would cause also the hacking of your btc , hopefully next time you will be living your bitcoin to much more secure place.

Hey you lost your money for your mistake. That is not a hacking. That is purely your mistake. You should not share your password and privatekeys. Many of them posting like myetherwallet got hacket. Without proving your private key which not possible. So dont blame myetherwallet.

At me on a computer from which I go on the Internet and I work with crypto currencies it is established Linux Ubuntu. A very good operating system that allows you to protect your computer from viruses.

sorry to hear that, mate. thnx for sharing. crypto might be brutal. not only cool stories out there

It is very sad story. I know that you can trust only yourself, especially when we are talking about money. You are your best friend and advisor.

You don't trust anyone regarding your private key or passwords. Unless it's your wife =). But, it's a good thing that you learned from this unfortunate experience. Next time be careful about your crypto coins. Because we are talking about money. Because if you don't you will lost all your money.

Therefore, you need to use hardware wallets such as TREZOR or Ledger. There have been no hacking cases and probably will not be yet, because they are isolated from the network. I use such wallets and advise others. I'm not worried about my money at all.

This is why it is important to protect our computers with a password and if it is possible your wallet should be in an encrypted USB, at least that way you can access your wallet only when you want to send money, also a USB does not look like the first place a person will look for a wealth of information or money since most people keep their most important information in their computers.

There are a lot of ways how to lose money here but it is easy to avoid such problems. Be patient, be able to wait, use reliable wallets and platforms.

I am concerned about you. this is for you to learn to save the private key safely and you must really keep the private key that you save

it really depends on your actions.
if you have a personal computer, but low in security its possible.
and the possibility of getting phished is also a problem.
but regardless of the possibilities, its better to start fresh and new and be careful.

It was a lesson for you and for all of us. Don't trust anyone, never disclose password, privatekey.

basically, cryptocurrency international providing benefits and also risks if we failed to use it properly. if we are careless then it is going to be fatal like a hacked wallet who we recognise that is fatal. to sign up for cryptocurrency we should definitely observe it well to keep away from some thing this is dangerous. the maximum essential element is we must be extra careful and affected person.

0,9 BTC is not huge amount. What type of wallet did you use? And how someone could find out the password from the wallet, if the password was complicated enough - it is not possible.

Sharing this kind of experience is good to make some people here taking it as a precious lesson. being careful and careful again sometimes is not enough. The reaosn is because nobody will know that we will get hacked by somebody. But of course, we can make some effort to secure ours by taking the coins into the hardware wallet or others to make our coins secure.

You had to hide your private key better and not tell anyone about it, some people just pretend to be friends, but at any moment they can betray you. Be careful next time.

Geez, the most important notes do not trust anyone, even if it's your nearest person, because anyone can betray us. It's a lesson for all of us to be wary of the people around us. Wherever possible keep a private key safe place. For that, I recommend purchasing hardware wallets because the level of security is better than the online wallet.

This is a sad story. I was also robbed bitcoin several years ago. I was robbed of a phone that was tied to a bitcoin-purse. It was very insulting. But I survived it and earned even more than I had at that time.

This is a sad story. Now this will be a lesson for you, because we need to adhere to security measures and not give your private key to anyone, because scammers are everywhere.

Making mistakes is the normal events here and I am sure that it is ok moreover. With mistakes we become more far-sighted and clever, we get an experience.

A hacker must be your closed one because he knows that you hold bitcoins in your wallet, if it was a random hacking then there should be at least 2-3 cases with you at the same time. Don't trust anyone it's crypto world, only trust in you if you want to keep your bitcoins safe with you in your wallet. You can also use hardware wallets for long term storage of coins.

we need to double check while we want to make tranfer our coins or token.small mistake make our token lost.and can not recovered again.evenmore this coins or tokens has high value.

maybe the wallet you use has been hacked and I suggest there should replace your wallet if you can replace with a wallet that is more ama like using google authenticator.

Unfortunately when you lose your coin, I'm very careful when to log in to your wallet. I secure my computer and do not log in passwords when I go out or use public networks.

Yes you are right. Do not trust anyone amid reports of hacking and stealing of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is becoming valuable at recent times. So people or hackers are always looking forwards to the right time to steal coins. And you might be another victim if you do not caution. So do not share your address and keyword with anyone, even the one you deem to be faithful to you. 

in my part, i have a lot of friends and also a family entering this kind of thing. i am sharing my thoughts if they want any advises and guidance. but i dont really trust anybody when it comes to privatekeys, passwords of account or any private informations. i hold it just like a secret. by the way, thank s for your story. im going to share this to give lessons.

I'll tell you my friends in secret, I'm not letting anyone in for my work computer. But, to be completely safe, you need to create for your cryptomanipulations a separate kopter or notbook

I agree, when you are engaged in crypto currency, you can not trust anyone. You can also lose tokens when you forget your password.

I got scammed but that was before entering in cryptocurrency, i lost around 25k usd worth amount to a HYIP scam and there is nothing that i could have done. So i think scams are part of the life and one has to go through these kind of things in one industry or other.

i faced similar situation with MEW hack, but at the same time it is a lesson for me and I am happy to lose not that much money,because it was my main wallet and i was ready to store more money there.
Keep in safety your private keys!

Well, sorry for your loss, but that is the kind of loss that came about as a security mistake on your part as it is either you are dumb enough to trust someone with your private keys or you were simply just careless with the security of your funds. However, shit happens and that is one thing I am sure you must have learned your lessons from. Also, remember to always make use of added securities and make use of cold storage if you are really holding for long.

When your dear and near people are not trust worthy, practically you cannot do anything. But, if you are working in some office and you manage your wallets from your work place and probably you have left your things opened which is also possible as per many people's experience. Being careful and having more awareness are always important in crypto world.

losing a coin is a carelessness of yourself. if you don't know the basis of this coin investment, maybe you will lose more coins, continue and continue. all you have to do as a beginner is to learn what trading first. then look at the opportunities that exist and run.

Yes there are hackers.  You can lose it by simply forgetting the password, which happened to me and the etherium flew away to the lap

I think you lost your coin as a result of your own carelessness and you have learnt a lesson to always be careful with your private information and not to disclose your information to a third party and also clicking on phishing sites. You can also lose your coin if you are not careful with exchanges you send them to. Take time to find appropriate wallet and exchange for the coin.

In general, many advise to create a cold wallet separately, quite on another computer. And of course, do not tell anyone about it! Even to family and close people.

But you never trust anyone about your bitcoin balance, you keep your blockchain data account safe for yourself, you can save it using your manual data or you write in your notebook. Never give others about your blockchain data because bitcoins have a higher price and get everyone to steal your bitcoin balance. Next time never give any of your incoming data and save for yourself.

It is because of your careless.

Yes you should always keep your wallet by your self but if someday you want to start another life that is not related to cryptocurrency then maybe you can share it to your family in order for them to keep your wallet just in case you forgot about your password.

It is true that only God knows who does it. If you keep your password in a place where no one else is known, the person who logs into your wallet may only be the one closest to you. If that's wrong then I can just say that your wallet has been invaded by the wallet founder.

i also lost ethereum from my wallet. One day a few months ago i woke up and checked my balance and there was no more ethereum just tokens. i dont know who did it  or how. i never showd my private key to nobody.

sorry to hear this. wallet security is really important,. I am on one lost my private key. some things can be a painful experience.

Really really sorry to know that. I myself fortunately never lost my coins because of hackers. Hopefully, Never and Never. I think that many hackers right now are very smart to see the small hole and then steal our coins. Just be more and more careful in this situation. I also do agree with you not to trust anyone in crypto.

I also been hacked but just small amount about $100, this is hapening because my device is did not use anti virus and i was clik suspicious link. And learn from this , i think we should be use clean device whenever we are log in to wallet account.

It's so sad. Many people are having this problem. Most people are being cheated, private key is losing, he's losing all his money like this. You need to be more careful. Because there is no redress for mistakes here. The best way to back up all of your information. I hope more people will not have this problem. I'm sorry for the money you lost.

I ones had a problem where i lost some of my coin.
In the process of completing my wallet transaction, had a poor network nd network glitch, my coin disappeared, later got some back but almost half of it eventually got lost.

I lost about 1000$ actually it's all my fault I accidentally click on suspicious link and lost my hard earned money.  :(

I made the mistake of sending 5 ETH to a random scammer, thinking I was investing in the Iagon ICO presale.  I accidentally stumbled upon a fake telegram group, and the "admin" personally gave me instructions on how to participate in the presale.  There was a fake medium post, which looked real -- I should have been more careful.  Live and learn.

yes it is. dont trust anybody with your accounts and private key, also always make sure when filling up forms on airdrops and bounty campaign that you entered wallet address not your private key. take an extra caution's visiting some sites that you are not familiar with. just store your private key safely so that we can avoid this problem. lastly use an 2FA authenticator for extra security for your accounts.

But you have to hide your private key better and not tell anyone about it, some people just pretend to be
friends, but at any time they can betray you. so that we need to be careful.

you must becarefull with unknown link to your mail.hacker trying suspect anything.they have capability to hack our account.but take it as your experience and dont repeat it again in future

Since you believed that someone close to you, did that, then it means in one way or the other you might have shared your detials with them. In this crypto space you need to be highly secretive and mindful of your data. Sorry about what happened to you, just be security alert henceforth

Just don't ever trust anyone, in that it faculty one stab cause you tizzy in the coming. Our outlet has a plenty of general public with evil end, who one stab long for easy distance to deservingness. We each compass scholarly our drills alongside hook and we dispassionate compass to be retiring at each times.

My story is actually more of Ponzi schemes after looking for different ways on how to increase my bitcoin until I ended up losing everything at the end of it all which I believe so many people in their early years may have fallen for a bunch of this. Most times, losing of coin is mostly mistakes on the part of the holders which could be as a result of security carelessness in the case of the OP, or trying to look for things where you cannot find them in the case of Ponzis.

I'm sorry for your loss brother. My tip is use lastpass to store important information such as your private keys. Better yet print them and lock somewhere else

Yes, for now, of course, we have to be careful and secure our wallets from all, good close friends. Always pay attention to basic security conditions and with our assets, everything will be fine.

maybe not ?  and i hope not anyone that is close to you personally. or maybe you got pish from the website i dont know the real story how you lost all your coins but many scammers now is doing everything to get all of your information using website or internet

You could lose your coin if you are in hurry to sell

I lost my money for not legit site because I wanted to invest without knowing that it was just a scam site. I sent money to them and regret after that because I lost my coin with my eye open. Sometimes, I lost after I joined some airdrops.  I lost every coin that has value from my wallet. Now I am being careful from what I am doing. It is hard to lose something that worth of all your effort.

Have never had a bad experience though, got to follow all the precautions and I can say I am a bit lucky though

Such a sad experienced you have...Yeah if you have good amount of bitcoin, you should not trust or disclose your private keys and never tell them that you own enough bitcoin. Better to keep it secret and provide back-ups if ever you will lost your copy.

Just so you know it was hacked and he suspects someone close to him did this to him. So obviously, one of his close people know cryptos as he know this like he knew what was all of these and how the hell he trust people so easily. So this should be a lesson for all of us as this is still money matters and the temptation is just around the corner.

the main reason in the present time to hack of the wallet and another id because of the trust at third party websites which should not be trust by us at any condition because at the third party platform anyone can easily verify change password and other details easily by the user email access .
Here once I was also cheated by coinbase wallet , my coinbase wallet was connected with email and BTC se account with the jam email address .
The hacker access my btcjam account and then he transfer the amount of BTC from coinbase wallet by simply approve the loan through BTC jam account .
So here we can say that we should remain away from third party platforms and website due to security and safety for our assets .
And also once I was cheated by a person at Facebook who are selling his BTC at very low price but in actually he was scammer , he first asked me to send money but after that he did not pay any amount of BTC.
So  we should keep in your mind that we should not take trust anyone person without any escrow platform or person between the buyer and seller .

I'm really sorry about that your lost. In this crypto world, we have to pay more attention. Our little mistake enough to lost what we collected. Maybe your close one. maybe some hackers. Once I saw a post made by someone says his account also got hacked. his mistake was he stores his account detail on google drive for the easy access. But it caused to lost his funds. Store account details on Google drives and PCs very risky. the best way is the write-down them in a book and keeps it in a safe place or store details in DVD.

It's your mistake, this technology that has a huge risk it needs a lot of wallet because there are several hackers that can operate the site ,they are highly good in performing hack because they are one who do for that.

Many People Loosing their coins, But we can Eventually avoid the Possible risk and don't let that thing happen to us if we are just Sensible and responsible to possible Actions, I believe that you Should protect yourself as much as possible,
