We have all heard "Be careful".  Roll Eyes
Most of us are, some of us aren't.  Angry
The best and brightest are careless or unlucky ( sometimes).  Grin
If you've ever "lost" ANY  BTC, not to scams, not to rip-offs, to ANY cause that would forever prevent those  BTC from re-entering the market place, for any reason that would forever
take them out of circulation--- :
 
              Shocked       VOTE!!! Huh     

Leave a short explanation so we can accurately calculate percentages of total votes AND
by statistical analysis extension, percentage of total now and points in the future as
certain "quantities in circulation" are reached. Should be interesting...

I lost my first wallet when I first learned of BTC but I'm almost 100% sure there were no coin in it.  I may still be able to locate the addy as for the code that will be a toss up. 
Honestly I'm not sure the wallet still exists or what site I had it on at the time.  Huh
