I dont know how your bitcoin ended up in a different wallet but if it is in a Wallet that is not in your control then yes it is gone.

Ironic that that you knew about bitcoin since 2010 and just startet to invest in it.

I can't agree more with what is said above! Bitcoin has grown 5℅ everyday since 6k thatbis just insane. It is a sigmoid adoption curve that is common knoweledge which means that it is not a bubble.

Actually destroing bitcoin is quite a difficult task for private institutions but the goverment has substantially more power to do so. From a Cryptographic standpoint it seems pretty much impossible as a 51% attack is not even profitable so gametheory says it is not in the best interetst of the attacker (mining hardware can only be used for bitcoin so in order to destroy bitcoin you have to buy bitcoin miners that can only be used for bitcoin so why is it in your interest to attack bitcoin like that.

The seconds biggest danger comes from contentious hardforks without replay protection. Bitcoin Cash was a nasty attack too although it failed miserably, first it tried to take bitcoin down with their high mining profitability and then in the last few weeks with rodger vers pump.

Goverments definetly have more options though, banning won't really damage bitcoin as we saw with china. They could spend  a few billion for mining equiptment though that is not profitable and they could also attack mining centers and destroy all the miners so that the blockchain is not progressing blocktimes are too large and the network implodes due to no transactions going through and huge fear.

That is everything that comes to my mind though there should be many more ways to destroy it.

I recently paid for some local tacos using Bitcoin. My friend who was unfamilar with Bitcoin thought it was strange, like I technically didn't pay for them or something. We got into discussing Bitcoin and one of the questions he asked me was:
"Why would you want Bitcoins instead of cash?". For a second I didn't know what to say; then I thought about it and here is what I came up with. Feel free to contribute to this.

1) More security (especially if you are careful).

2) Bitcoins are a potential investment, cash is not. Paper currency only really goes down in value, Bitcoins have a lot of potential to be worth more as time goes on.

3) Fast, worldwide transactions at your fingertips.

4) Similar to #3, but it's a universal currency. It's legal in most countries of the world and you don't need any kind of currency conversion to send money to people in a different country than your own.
Bitcoin cant be still from you, Bitcoin price is not stable bitcoin is going high as time past.Cash value is increasing very very slow if you compare it yo bitcoin

To my knoweledge fiat currency doesn't increase in value AT ALL, look how the goverment is printing money, so in fact it is decreasing in value. Don't fall for the fiat trap and buy bitcoin, BTC is scarce.
