[gabagandalf]

103 bitcoins... i can not believe it... so much fiat money... so much bitcoins... that is hard and really hurts. sorry for your loss. i would not know if i would handle this.

[Sexteh]

This guy has lost 103 bitcoins he mined back in 2011 and then lost his wallet dat file similar to what I have done but wow this guy must be gutted the amount of money he has lost compared to me  

His Address    166BuLPWHUjqoqiYp5rGE3B5r5AmqgHpoL    Final Balance   103.20832384 BTC

So many people have the same problem and I wonder just how much Bitcoin is stuck not being able to be used

He says "I used to mine Bitcoin back in 2011 and I lost my wallet.dat file (through several stupid moves on my part). It's got approx 103 BTC in it, anyone is welcome to it, I've given up trying."

Holy molly, that is a big pile of cash that's been lost. If I were that guy, I've been crying until today, 103 BTC is just too much.

[Arkham Knight]

Those things could also happen to us so I could not blame him. He had some mistakes  on that case but not totally because who would have thought that btc would go huge in this year? It's painful to see but I'm sure it was not his intention.

[alexs_03]

i thing, wonder if there is a way to do an analysis of how many 'orphan' bitcoins there are out there. Like if you could find out how many addresses exist that have X number of bitcoins that have never been moved in Y number of years

[Aroma92]

Sorry for him, of course. I wonder if anyone in the future will be able to open such purses. And how will this be done?

[vnck25]

This is quite common back in the early days! People were new to the technology, not a lot of educational resources on the Web like now, and the price of Bitcoins were quite low thus people really did give lot of attention to Bitcoins. The protocol is designed  in a way such that without his dat file there is no way to retrieve the coins. As far as current technology goes those coins are gone. The best thing that we can do is learn from our mistakes!

I've lost a wallet with 19 BTC in November 2017, my laptop got stolen and no one on earth knows it had BTC, that was all my money by then worth $360k at that time and until now I never reached 1 BTC again, i had the worst time of my life after the incident specially that i bought them back when 1 btc was around 200-300 usd but that was a big lesson to learn, i wish to get back to 1 btc soon again

That's seriously and painful... I believe that the good works of hackers. But if I'm to have such number of bitcoin I won't keep all in one wallet

It really hurts seeing someone had lost that big amount, it is really painful, maybe he was so rich because I myself if I lost for even $100 it really makes me sad and disappointed for that happen.

[lorapalmer]

I am always scared of such technical issues. Just one wrong move or click and files are gone. It is better to take maximum precautions to keep your data safe. This guy was just not lucky. Let's be precautious not to become that guy in the future.

[mulia tani]

this is the most feared by everyone who has bitcoin, in this case we really pay attention to the best wallet to menyimpanya, because in the world bitcoin no one whose name is responsible if we lose money, I think the best wallet to store bitcoin is indodax because security is very good and transaction is pretty fast

your not alone bro, my classmate is the same as you, but not much as you lost he lost about 3 bitcoin, what happen is the his hard disk crashes and there is no way to retrieve anything from it, if feel sorry for the both of you and also all the people who lost their bitcoin.

Last June, Howells inadvertently tossed a hard drive containing 7,500 bitcoins, which he had mined back when they were worth very little. Now that a bitcoin is worth somewhere around $1000, that drive has an estimated worth of $7.5 million. But unfortunately for Howells, an IT worker, city workers say it’s too late for him to recover the drive from the dump.

The sum at stake in Howells’ case brought him lots of attention, but he’s certainly not the only person to lose track of his bitcoins. Outside of anecdotal evidence, however, there’s really no way of knowing how many people have similar tales—or how much they’ve lost.

The amount of regret on his wallet is too damn high bro. Sure enough he learned a lesson but i think if we is in his same situation back in 2011 we could also do the same

[Gavao04]

Id only want not to be in position of this guy, this is a hard thing and nobody would not like to live this moment, but you never know this is decentralized world

[cowboy1212]

I would feel like dying if this happened to me,I hope nothing like that happen to me, because if yes i don't know how many nights i will be crying lol.

[adjong]

for me there is a necessity to always back these wallets up in paper writings or printed and kept somewhere safe where we can always access them,anything can happen and we can forget our keys, Backing them up somewhere gives you the chance to access them anytime there is is need,or an event where you forget, because they were cheap.
I think It feels like: imagine a token, the price which is 0.001$ and you don't know what will happen to this coin.

[vinc3]

That is the reason you need to back up your dat.file very well for this might hold the future of your children and your retirement if its that big.
We just need to be extra careful and be very vigilant with the every move that partakes when it comes to the dat.file or private keys.

[Black boy]

honestly thats a lot of money might take time to recover but i pray he does feel bad for him

[phelanceter]

That's way hardware wallet is best choice to keep your digital asset than software wallet. There was no way to recover it from the dumping ground because the ground is huge in size and there was no assurance that hard disc will be in the perfect situation even if the person is trying all the efforts to find that hard disk. After all, Crypto is all about self-responsibility and anyone is responsible for his own actions.

[chelle5]

It's so sad to hear that after a long time and hard work for only one second all is gone. That is a bis lesson for everybody that we must be careful for what we are doing and always make sure that everything is good condition.
