Bitcoin Losses

[blumangroup]

Discuss how much you have lost and how.

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

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

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

[Dotakels]

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.

[arlekyn13]

Lost about BTC55 with bad mining investment (KNC).

[saddampbuh]

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 :/

[Xprim777]

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.

[bitllionaire]
