I never tried losing bitcoin because of forgotten password or computer crash I make sure that all the information I needed is safe and I always have back up so that I will not encounter these kind of incident. I only lose bitcoin when I was still hook up in gambling.

Did you lose BTC somehow? forgot passord, computer crash ...
Yeah I lose some. When I invested my money to bunch of scammers, I was so frustrated that time and somehow give up in the world of cryptocurrency. Then now I was back to earn the money I loss in investing and fortunately blessed to be earned profits again.

It didn't happen with me because of I always write down eaverything such as username,password,privite key of my wallet or accounts to my personale note book. If anyone store wallet or account data then no one lose any money.

got mine once when my laptop crashed and my electrum wallet cant be recover because the key is also stored inside the laptop so no chance for me to do anything and after that incidents I always save my files inside my usb so in case things happen again I still have recovery key to put in and get back my wallet add to sync.

No, because I always make multiple backups, including password databases from a password manager. At least one backup is on a remote system (encrypted, of course, so there is double encryption of wallets and databases).r

I joined several faucet sites in the beginning and lost almost all those passwords for those sites. Most of them do not even exist anymore. I also tested some wallets over the years and deposited some Satoshi's into the wallets... those Satoshi's are also gone with those sites. Most of these sites close down and confiscate those coins or they only shift numbers around in a internal ledger, so it is not gone forever.

Yeah, that happened to me many times especially when I was a beginner and when I started using Bitcoin. I lost many wallet's password with some satoshies because I didn't master their use. Also I couldn't connect to some online wallets because I lost my phone and then I couldn't recieve the verification sms that many online wallets require. But now, things have changed and I keep all my important data in secure place where no one can access it but me.

Nope. I didn't lose btc because of somehow lose of password, crashing app or computer or somehow hacking. I able to lose my firs half btc just all because of a app that I use in order to convet some tokens to another coin. I made many transactions then it didn't came so end up loosing all the money I used.

So far it didn't happen to me and I don't it to happen. That's why I make sure that I back up all my private keys into paper. I have a notepad and in here I wrote all important things like frome email address to passwords and private keys. It's kinda tiring to write all of these but I'd rather experience these than to lose when worst things come.

Nope. I didn't able to experience such instances and I don't want to because we all know that the bitcoin we earned is the product of our hardworking so we must know atleast ho to protect it by simply guarding it with all of our hearts in order for us to avoid loosing it and we can use it in the future.

I've lost 0.5 BTC with Sports betting )) But it's the story of last year when Bitcoin price was under 1k$ and there are a lot of video campaign you can easily earn 0.03 or more with a video published to your Youtube channel with 5 - 7 minutes length. I betted for Barca in their match with Malaga and in this match Malaga won with 3 goals. It's so terrible I can't believe it I'd lost my first 0.5 BTC in just 90 minutes But for now, I don't do any bet or dice anymore, I just trade and keep my Bitcoin safe then sell it at good price

I almost cried when I lost mine, I forgot to keep my private keys, I can never forget the incident. Anyway I was a complete novice back then. Not anymore

I managed to mine more than 1k XMR and sold them for 0.0025, the best it had at that time (that's what I thought). It went up more than 10 times and was worth more than 32 BTC, not just that but even Bitcoins are worth more than 10x from the price I sold them at during those days. It's also a way how I lost a "chance". I should have been holding those XMR, if not, then that BTC but I sold. This way too we can lose BTC by losing our opportunity through panics.

Had a 1.85 btc accumulated from the dust spam way back 2015, and have stored them only on a blockchain.info wallet without any clue to spend it or to transfer it somewhere safe. Those dust came from numerous private keys that I just swept and somehow accumulated it to 1.85 btc without me knowing it. I've lost the identifier and the password (most especially the mnemonics to unlock the wallet) that could potentially give me a good $5000 at most since I already found a way to spend those dust outputs.

No, personally i had never lost any bitcoin dire t by making forget ourselves about forget it once a incident happened with me that was technical problem. Actually i entered in my pc because of problem in mobile. To access my blockchain account but there was asking for the verification of email but a big mistake that I made was that I was not getting the verification email at my real email i'd, and that happened continously with me to about one year, but after accessing i made my earnings back with high price of the bitcoin. SO whatever happened here, I was happy at all.
