How would you guys react if you guys lost 10, 000 bitcoin?

[helloeverybody]

I would not understand why someone would hold that much bitcoin in 1 wallet. If I had 10,000 btc I would probably hold it in 100 wallets cold stored.

Smart thing to do or probably just about 100 btc per wallet. Just so no one can compromise it all if someone just gained access to it. People are usually tempted when it comes to huge amount of money and Mexico is an easy route

Id be feeling pretty crazy if i kept as much as 1 bitcoin in a wallet. 100 seems way too  much for me to risk.

Yes I too prefer to have 1000 wallets to store those 10k bitcoins.
In fact that must be a big amount to have. I don’t have such amount, if in case I have such amount, and I lose it, I will feel depressed all day, and cry my self to sleep, I won’t bother eating, and I won’t even talk to anyone.

To be honest the figure is way too high... I would probably lose my mind, knowing that there's no way I can make 10,000 ever again, and know that I could have been a potential billionaire in a decade if I held those 10k's.

10,000 Bitcoin is potentially too big amount not for only me it is too big amount amount for anyone i can't imagine to do something wrong with this kind of amount but suppose if happened than for sure kill myself after this.

I d buy a big gun.....then hunt down whoever s responsible....

[knowhow]

If i had a big ammount as that i would sell a part of that into fiat and let the rest waiting bitcoin better value as all are expecting it to happen,this year the worth of bitcoin achieved 2x .

If you really want to know how someone would react check out this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=16457.0

Pay particular attention to the very last post by Allinvain on the last page of the thread.

That is the right attitude. But will Cryptsy do the same thing to hunt down the person responsible for the 13,000 bitcon hack?

[Shinpako09]

If I lost that amount of bitcoin maybe i'll be anxiety for few days or even week and only thinking on how to recover that amount again.

Not a good idea even if finding the responsible person is nearly impossible Anyway I think I will get really dipresssed if I ever (God forbid) lose such a big amount

[Cyaren]

I doubt it's going to happen to me since I only gamble what I can afford to lose. However if I did happen to lose 10,000 BTC which is a lot to me, I would just move on and say to myself "Well that was stupid".

[relq]

If i lose 10.000 bitcoins especially on gambling. i will cry on my room and not go outside for 1 weeks. i can't imagine if i lose that many bitcoins. i hope i never lose many bitcoins.

Losing that amount would be horrible, but most people who would have that amount would be extremely safe with the private keys and be overly secure.

[Pursuer]

10,000 bitcoin is 3.7 million dollars, which means I will never have that much money in the first place to lose it. but if by any miracle I had that much and I lost it, I would become bankrupt, depressed, homeless. there is no living life again!

[BitMaxz]

I will be die if its happen but not actually die maybe i will thinking day by day and why i gamble it i can buy house and lot business or anything i want with that amount of bitcoins. But honestly if i had this huge amount of bitcoins i will never gamble it. i think i will start a good business using this amount. but for now we need to collect some coins and work for it to earn bitcoins..

[mtnsaa]

Just imagining the figures, both for profit and loss give me the creeps. Looking at the numbers in a wallet, one mistake and they are gone! To be honest Bitcoin sometimes is a little frightening, if you make an honest mistake or you are drunk you can lose millions. That could never happen with a bank or with a credit card.

[Zaragota95]

I don't think I would be gambling it or keeping it an online wallet etc... in the first place. I don't want to imagine that though

[PakistanHockeyfan]

I would be devastated, but there really wouldn't be much I could do about it.

If your bitcoin is saved in a convention bank, and you lose it, the bank is liable to pay you back.
