What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?

The one dark side of BTC is that you cant recover your private key in case you lost it. There are many such BTC residing on the blockchain and will never be accessed by any human again. always keep a printed copy of private key with you, storing in your computer or at exchange make it vulnerable to hacking.

What ? you want to memory your private key ? It is recommended that you better save your private key somewhere in safe place.
Because there are no way to retrieve your private key unless you write down into a note, notepad, wordpad, or other kind of notes.

I would just forget about it and move on. You should not think much about something which isnt in your hands. Bitcoin is built that way and you need to be certain about your passwords, seed, and private keys.

I'm not sure which key you are talking about. If it's about password, then make easy one. If you talking about Private Key, which is 32 different symbols. It's impossible to remember...

I think if someone can forget the key of the bitcoin wallet he owns, it is a negligence that is very detrimental to them. For that we should keep a good key to the bitcoin wallet that we have, and store the place that we think the safest and can not be known by others, which is very simple may be using a flash disk. Because if we lose the key of the bitcoin wallet that we have, then we will not be able to do the transaction against bitcoin that we have.

Of course, everybody could forgot a damn key to their wallets. They have so many texts that makes you operate the whole thing. Combinations of upper and lower cases of letters and numbers. It's to complicated for one mind to remember. Paste it somewhere safe like gmail.

If you lost your key and you did not keep a back up file say goodbye to your coins or investments because you cannot retrieve them anymore. Private keys are the most important tool needed to be able to withdraw your funds so keep in mind that you always back up those private keys.

You just need to copy your private key to offline storage, do not store it in one place so you always have a backup if you lose your private key on another offline copy, maybe that simple thing can help you to save the private key.
The lost private key will not be recoverable if we forget it, do it the simple way before losing the assets you have

At the momentk, there is no solution to this situation. There were situations in which people were losing even 250 k dollars by losing access to their wallet. Because Bitcoin wants to maintain the highest possible anonymity, so personalization enough to connect the wallet with the owner is impossible. It's better to prevent than to cure, so it's good to take care of your key and, for example, save it somewhere on a piece of paper. Don't approach it recklessly.

First the is no means of retriving them back once its gone its gone secondly you can memorize your private key but my dear you just cant tell when you will let it our and all your funds goes along side with it.So to be on the safer side your can print it out or rather have it written in a notepad to keep them safe.

well, need to save in many files even in google drive, or chat it to your own account, print it, and save it as many as you can so that you will not forgot the important things in your life as a crypto holder because you will not retrieve it once you lost or forgot about your key in your wallet.

I think,if someone's forgot his bitcoin wallet private key,there's no other way to recover it. That's why,we should keep our private keys in a very safe and never be forgotten. Private key,is only need to open our bitcoin wallet,if it will be lose,your bitcoins will be nothing,and no one can be benifited.

Be careful(

In order to keep our private key safety, I write a piece of paper and I will put it in a safe place like  cabinet or drawer  with lock. And no one can open that cabinet except me so that it will not lost.

Well if that is the case...  Definitely it will be the worst things that will happen in a crypto user...  Well this a personal strategy on how we will going to keep our private key...  Well we need to keep our private key safe and also we need to always remember it...  Because that's our private access in our wallet so we will need to keep it safe to us...

Well that could really a big problem because you are the only person who is responsible for the key to bitcoin wallet and it is block chain so even the developers could not identify the private key to it so what you are going to do is to make many back up on your private keys. Like saving it to notepad aside from notepad you could have a notebook where you will going to copy your private and many more.

 If someone forgot the key to their bitcoin wallet sorry to say that bitcoin wallet account lost i mean lost forever.
The safest way to keep your private keys safe is by printing it in a paper sheet, goto a business center give them the paper tell them to laminate it for you, go home go keep it where you save your valuable documents.
Also save it in a notepad, save it in an original flash drive and go keep the flash drive inside the bottom of your box.

   If you forgot the private key you can't use your wallet anymore because private key are very important that's why if you create wallet make sure to keep your private key and have a back up. If not i am sure you will loss what you have in your wallet. You need to print the private key together with the address and make a lot of copy of this and also you can write it down on a note book and keep it safe that no body knows it but only you.
