Has anyone ever lost bitcoins before?

[Ashtongue]

I think lots of people have lost bitcoin before with for example trading, trading is very difficult to master so the way to get experience is to do it of course. But doing it while low skilled will cost you some coins, in the end it's worth it though.

for me i think i lost bitcoin for so many times but not in bitcoin forum or in trading in alt coin, i mostly lost bitcoin in gambling and still losing as i like gambling and making money in gambling is really difficult to make. but i always do gambling in a limit and never try to exceed that limit during gambling which really prevent me from a big lost.

Yah, I lost some btc because I was addicted on gambling. And become too greedy and also became empty hand.Then I realise that gambling just a wasting of btc and slowly I removed gambling from my mind andnd strart trading. And now I am on a good position.

Im too back in my newbie days where I really lost more amount on gambling. Plus some ponzi investments back then which we know that most of the newbies are being attracted so I attracted to it back then when Im still a newbie.

Now Im still losing bitcoin due to trading loss but it doesn't mean Im experiencing it on regular basis. Already built a good trading experience today and loss is part of trading journey.

it is common to lose at gambling, because no one has never lost at gambling.
because this is our fault to take a risk on gambling and to recover the gambling is very difficult.
as you trade, it will also lose. however I think it is easier to recover on the trade. because the price could still rise so we would not lose everything in an instant.

I seldom gamble but when I gamble I often win.  One of the thing that make me lose bitcoin is the wrong decision on trading.  Patience with a mixture of greed makes me end up bag-holding worthless coins which are I see funny.  But well that is part of my wrong decision that is trying to correct for me to avoid losing bitcoin.

When you are addicted to the gambling, and spend some bitcoin, it is not a loss. You had the joy.

I doubt there is someone able to say it hasnt lost a single satoshi, some people lost into the wallets, lost keys, others lost gambling, trading, but in the general we all had lost, it sounds stupid you lost 0,21btc into a single coin, but as we are new we do several mistakes at bitcoin, time teach how to proceed.

I think almost people and members here are experience of lose in bitcoins before or right now.. since it is impossible that you will gain a good amount in bitcoin 100% almost everything online are risky..

when i first started playing about with bitcoin i lost 0.1 on a laptop using multibit.  i dont know what i did and prob now i would work it out but i knew alot less then.  its prob still on that laptop some where.

I lost bitcoin once. It was a long time ago when I met bitcoin for the first time. I had some satoshi in blockchain and didnt realize that my account was vulnerable to theft. I use very weak password and never put 2fa in it. Someone got an access to my wallet address and withdrew it. He also got my cex.io password but fortunately by default that site forced me to use 2fa so the hacker cant steal my money on that site.

i have lot something like 0.35btc in dise gambling till now and now i have decided not to gamble anything ever as they are made to take money not to give money and they are just game so i will play it just for fun

[innominatus]

i have lost around 2BTC before

[tabas]

i have lost around 2BTC before

That is quite big amount and if I am the one losses that amount then I won't able to sleep maybe for 1 week or even a month regretting about the lost of that bitcoins. But in my history, the total amount that I lost with bitcoins is only 0.006 I guess as far as I can remember and that is when I became a victim of scamming schemes.

[Viyamore]

i have lost around 2BTC before

Its a big amount to be lost , but where or why did you lost it ? There's a big difference in lost and lose cause i read some replies they lost on gambling i think thats not lost its a lose amounts.

Losing that 2btc amount is so depressing especially if you do hard work in bitcoins to earn it even you invest and you are rich status in life .  

As i am lost only on scams but its too small amounts when i am starting on bitcoins .

[ivanst776]

How, and how much did you manage to lose?

Mostly the mistakes that we do are in the early stages when we first learned about bitcoin and how it works.

I have lost bitcoin one or few times maximum can't remember well but how I lost them was that I forgot the password of the freebitcoin faucet.

Lost also the email access don't know how maybe my pc was infected few years back but the amount wasn't large but it worth a lot to me at that time because faucets are very time consuming.

[Leonard2016]

How, and how much did you manage to lose?

of course i did lose bitcoin.

but this loss of bitcoin was always in gambling nothing else.

and the funny part is that i am ok with it, because i have had fun playing the games and also the important part of it is that i did not lose more than i was planning to lose.

Good to hear that, we should be fine although we are losing our bitcoin in gambling as i the first place gambling are just should be played for fun only. Me, personally have lose a tons of money in gambling but I have to accept that and move on, now I just limit my bets to limit my loses.

For 'LOST', due to corrupted wallet, hardware failure, no wallet backups, then thankfully,
I haven't encountered a loss in that area.

For 'LOST', in thefts, scams, schemes, and such, again, I have luckily managed to avoid those.
This is because I don't involve myself on sketchy,shady and otherwise unreal schemes. I stay away.

Now for 'LOST', due to trading and gambling. Well. I've managed to make a bit with trading in the past.(But I no longer trade)
and for Gambling, That is my biggest source of losses. There were wins, but probably more losses.(Typical)

I have not lost bitcoin before but my friend has lost bitcoin before he has 2 coins in his wallet and the next day it was sent to an address not by him.
So either he got hacked online or he somehow slinged around his phone and got hacked like that.

Thats sad for you friend if you are not lossing bitcoin then you need to convinced you friend to secured his account never log into computer shops or any computer because sometimes they had key logger and do tell him. stop his activities if his doing gambling

He  had been definitely hacked by someone, and as you said  we  must  be aware and  cautious  on our actions regarding on opening  our wallet  on  public places   because  there are times that keyloggers are being installed  without  your awareness and could  able to hack your wallet and transfer funds immediately.

Yes key logger is everywhere in the computer shop maybe don't use another computer unless you checking it before you are going to use it some of computer shops are really had key logger on there computer and i think he forget to log out something like that so that ..

Agree we cant really know about the computers in the computer shop because we dont know they put something keylogger in that computer! We should be wise annd checking it before inputing those sensitive datas from us and for accounts.
