This guy has lost 103 Bitcoins

[zemb]

I would feel like dying if this happened to me. If he can keep it, he now has more than $ 1.6 million, some great wealth. It is very unfortunate that this property is the number of properties that I am dreaming to receive in the future. Really condolences to him, I hope he can try to start again.

Indeed regret will not come early. A few years ago, bitcoin prices were well below current prices, which caused bitcoiners not to pay much attention to wallet security and they did not think that bitcoin would jump so high. But now suddenly the price of bitcoin is very high, I can not describe the feelings of people who lost a lot of bitcoin, hopefully the person is okay the situation and keep the spirit.

years ago bitcoin was worth less, so people not bothered(47). if me i would go crazy(13)

[kevoh]

I heard that now psychics and fortunetellers offer services for recovering passwords for lost wallets with bitcoins, maybe over time someone come up with how to recover such data, but now we have to be more careful about our wallets.

Please, tell me you mean this as a joke? There is no way those charlatans can help one to recover lost bitcoin wallet passwords. If there are any you have witnessed with incontrovertible proof, kindly share a link to where one can verify it.

It is a big loss to lost 103 Bitcoin. If you have qt file of deep wallet of mining website name than provide the link to me. I am interested to try make your wallet.dat file.

[nightxglow]

Oh i know that story!! Have read about it before and my first reaction is wtf!?!? If i were him, i would be so freaking angry and sad, and maybe regret everything in my life lol.
I bet he can't sleep properly. Imagine that, having 103 bitcoin will make you a millionare...or even billionare!? And now he lost it. Something that can make him really rich and make him doesn't need to work for his entire life, and maybe his next generations too lol.
I hope nothing like that happen to me, because if yes i don't know how many nights i will be crying lol.

103 bitcoin is funtastic value, you hold it almost for 7 years and you lost it.. I can't imagine if I am in that situation, may be I will depression.. from the that problem we can learn to be more careful and always backup everything all about bitcoin and your wallet.

[kingkong1234]

Omg.  I would have killed myself.

[zhukovt34]

Hope it will find his bitcoin wallet.dat file, because it is huge loss, now when BTC price and value is on steady rise in prise and the price can be only bigger.

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."

It is like one piece treasure haha, it is sad because I know it is most likely impossible to brute force hack any online wallet so it is very hard to access those bitcoins. I wish they would make a feature on the wallet that would send its users verification and an authentication message set whenever they couldn't access their wallet for a couple of years and if that wallet is not accessed or confirmed by its owner then maybe it can be returned to the system to be mined again.

Unlucky him well this will be a good lesson for the future, on what to do and how to act in particular situations.

[2ballsfrog]

Must be kicking himself in the balls right about now.

Unfortunate for him to lose that big amount. Maybe his very depressed right now all his effort was all gone too sad for him. Maybe someone hacked his account. This will be a lesson for us miners right now.

[Byatt]

wow a huge value for now.  sorry for this guy but all he has to do is to accept it.  it happen sometimes and this also reminder for us to take care of our wallets

[Goti]

Incredible! I do not know what if I would feel if such a thing happened to me, but it would be a colossal loss for me! Thank you for this story. It teaches to be more attentive.

[altGear]

I've heard a similar story from a few people...talked to a guy at a local crypto meet-up that had a friend with hundreds of bitcoins left in a wallet on a laptop which he lost the data for...lesson learned to save passwords and backup wallets...

this is the way that we have to be more careful specially with our wallets for , that 103 bitcoin are too much and this is more so disgusting for you if you may lost all of it a lot of regret may happen and you the way on how you may able to set your mind are too difficult a lot of depression you may encounter for.

Loosing 103 Bitcoins is nothing compared to what this guy lost has lost  7500 Bitcoins He threw away his hardrive

So there's a hard drive with 7500 Bitcoins on a landfill somewhere, slowly decaying.

Here's a link to the story:

All these actually serves to remind us that we must be careful with our wallets and make sure our backup works! 
It's real sad knowing you are a millionaire but unable to see the money!

[Haunebu]

Unbelievable! Damn! That is a lot of money. It is clearly obvious that he did not believe that bitcoin would skyrocket to such a high value which is most probably the reason why he never thought of securing it properly in the first place. Losing such a huge stack of money would hit me hard and almost anyone no matter how rich they are, but this clearly demonstrates the importance of securing our assets for the future. I advice everyone to secure all their assets(bitcoin and altcoins) since they could potentially make you rich if you secured them in the right manner through hardware wallets or paper wallets etc. Do not leave your money on exchanges and don't depend on online wallets.
