I've been scammed 5.5BTC. What will you do when your Bitcoin get scammed?

That's not to say there aren't great opportunities  but just make sure you do a lot research before you go shooting off any Bitcoin to somebody you've never met.

Hopeful you can earn it back.

I would distinguish two different cases:

1) You were using legit service just for common purposes, like coin exchange that had been "hacked".

2) You were greedy and would like to magically multiply your BTC (ponzi, IPO etc.) and then got scammed.

Of course, there is no excuse for scammers. But as long as we can do nothing to punish them, the only line of defence is to make right choices.
You didn't? If you need to get some practical knowledge in this matter, you have to pay

Feel sorry for your loss but does depend on if greed got you in the end or someone managed to trick you but I guess its a life lesson plenty of sharks in the water.

If someone has lost lots of money through ponzi schemes they could probably seek legal help in places where bitcoin is not banned! The assets can then be reclaimed by the owner. I would suggest people invest in legit and well know sites such as hashnest.com

And how are they supposed to help you? The anoymous nature of bitcoin makes it very difficult to get anything back if you ever can prove that you have been scammed at all. The anonymity favors those who need anonymity like scammers and other lowlife.

There will mainly be a way to trace the owner of the ponzi scheme. You could find the location of the IP and remove the server and all equipment attached using high court enforcement officers. The foolish OP that gambled away £700 obviously has lots of money/bitcoin so shouldn't need to claim it back anyway. Op could alwasy try hashnest.com and miningsweden.se for bitcoin investments. Thes are provably not ponzi schemes.

Once I was scammed at a doge gambling website.
I deposited 2 million doge coins and they never showed up!
Later on that website turned out to be ascam.
Fuck them!

I also lost doge on a gambling website back then, and the site seemed legit. I thought it was run by Stunna because they used a similar branding to Primedice. Primedice is legit, so I thought that was legit too. It turns it wasn't related to Primedice and was run by some scammers, or either it went bankrupt. In any case I lost a couple hundred thousand doges.
