Yes, my point being, what are you actually going to do when you meet this guy? Do you seriously think you will be able to get bitcoins out of him?

In my head I see someone being shaken till Bitcoins fall out of him but I suspect this isn't how it happens in real life.

Excuse me as I don't know the history of this story, but isn't this what the police are for? Should be possible to prove fraud in this case?

But, this is bitcoin.

Even the police could have the world's biggest pile of $5 wrenches, but I highly doubt even they would be able to get your bitcoins back.

This is why I personally prefer online wallets like blockchain.info. I know they have their disadvantages too, but I'd rather have my coins in an account than a file.

Bought BTC 2 weeks ago when it was at $260... It has never reached that level again... And I had lost 75% of my investment in 2 days time...

I was all in on BTC and was about to sell at ~$240, but decided to wait a few more days.

Lesson learned should be to sell in increments on rises, not to put all your eggs in one basket Smiley

My biggest mistake was ignoring bitcoins when they were $1-10 and a buddy of mine was trying to convince me to invest in them. Back then I never imagined they would come as far as they have today.

I was holding 100+ bitcoins last summer. Got rid of them not long after. Obviously kicking myself when the price exploded. But that's life I guess.
