Few years back Bitcoin isn't valued then so is possible to play around with your wallet, I doubt if he's going to recover the wallet but nothing is impossible shall wish him good luck

Thats really a lot of bitcoin that he has lost but I think there's a way to recover his wallet.dat file just research and find ways to get his 103btc back. I hope that he can get it back because it really sad that people lost a lot of bitcoin due to not knowing that it will increase its price today.

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 Sad

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."









I think that is the biggest problem that comes to his or her life because when you are going to compute how much he lost it can cost a million. Actually there's a chance that you lost it when you forget the most important thing that you always need to remember and that will be the biggest regret in your life.

I think that is the payback, you don't care much about bitcoin and do not take it too seriously back then in 2011, you don't get nothing and don't need to complain that you have lost your wallet now in 2018 that those 103 BTC are worth more than 1 mln dollar.

That is terrible. I am always worried that I enter the wrong amount in or send to the wrong wallet. I heard that someone accidentally sold around 40,000 coins for $2 - when each coin was worth around 50 cents each! Ouch.

of course this is a very sad story, I guess he did not use all the security methods in 2011, many people did not believe that Bitcoin could achieve such a value, But this is a great lesson for us now.

Yeah this is a lesson for us to know that we need to take care our bitcoin, for sure this guy when he lost his bitcoin it is nothing to him before because it's happen past year ago, but now?  For sure he is so sad knowing that he already lose a big amount.

Everyone should take care of security and backup storage. Be careful and nothing will happen to your savings. Let the losses of others serve you as a lesson!

Losing that amount of money is terrible, I also lost about 27 BTC last year, my case is that my iPhone got stolen and I forgot to backup the 12 words of MyCelium, I was pretty sick seeing the Bitcoin price climbing very fast at the end of 2017.

Let's learn from other people's experiences that what is needed when "playing" with bitcoin is the patience, thoroughness and good management of the account and wallet.

I think it happened because this guy did not take bitcoins seriously and therefore did not provide competent storage for his bitcoins, because of what he lost all his keys. But this story is rather instructive, because it makes other investors take a responsible attitude to their money and their storage.

103BTC is a huge value and that's a total disaster because he can't recover his wallet's .dat file. Maybe he's not so interested in bitcoin before and has given less focus to bitcoin without knowing that bitcoin will be the future gold of today.
So we have to learn lessons from this guy because we have to secure ourselves otherwise, we also will face the same situation on one day. Anyway, we don't have that much huge money with us, but with the money, we have to store them in offline wallets.
