you have no way of knowing that. not back then and not now. this is simply your guess.

ICO no longer paying up,

ICOs have always been bad. and that is why they have always failed no matter what they initially gave you. some of them started at the peak of the hype so obviously they were better "bets" than others but they all end up dead eventually be cause of their uselessness.

you don't lose your funds for no reason! you have to get hacked. and although hacks are common but it is not like they are happening every day!

So far,I've lost 30$ worth of bitcoin buying some shitty non-working "make money online" guide on this forum.
I haven't invested in any ICOs and I've never deposited my coins into a crypto exchange that eventually got hacked.

[aoluain]

I have lost some bitcoin and ethereum on some ICO's, i dont know the
exact amount but it isnt massive at all.

Since then I have liquidated almost all of the tokens back into bitcoin
so in the future they will grow and show a profit.

I havent lost anything on hacked exchanges because i dont or havent
left funds on them for any length of time.

We lost 95% of our portfolio wealth in 2018. We never invested our own money but we worked trading a little and doing bounty jobs, investing in ICOS etc form the proceeds for nearly two years. We were primarily holding and not day trading as such, so in the crash of 2018 we literally saw everything fall before our eyes and were helpless watching our portfolio and dreams dissipate. Now we want to do things differently so we have started all over again. I do not know if we will succeed but so far we are doing a little bit better this month than the previous year, so if we can get ahead and collect some good coins and tokens with potential upside through consistent good results from day trading and the passive robots, then we might be doing something right for a change.

Mine is exist scams ,yes i was a victim and also I like mining coins too but yet I fall victim of pump and dump coins ,so far I can boldly say if I don't go through all this I won't know better ,that is that cos its never going to happen to me ever again

I can understand your thoughts in general. But before we discuss this, we need to know a few things! What does Bitcoin mean to you first? Is it an investment instrument or a means of payment? This is really important! Then your thoughts for Bitcoin is 1-2 years or long term?

If you see it as an investment tool, take Bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies and wait. One day you will definitely earn money. If your preferred crypto is based on an accurate project.

If you see it as money, it's no problem today or tomorrow you can use it any time you want to spend.

I'm sorry if you see it as a short-term investment. In the long term, everyone believes in Bitcoin.

I think what is Bitcoin before you decide? How does it proceed? You have to read on a lot of topics like what might be in the future.

I had lost 0.4 BTC on 5 Dec 2017. I was transferring my funds from my bittrex and while I was transferring BTC the address that I had copied to my clipboard was changed by a malware and my btc were transferred to the hacker..... When I searched the address on google I found article where people had written that they were also affected by this and it was a hacker using that address. From then I have been extra alert during my transaction.

Now recently I read that there is a new malware which can even hack your 2FA along with your credentials:

[eternalgloom]

Never lost any cryptocurrency since I started using it regularly since 2012.

Just by using common sense really. I don't keep my coins on any exchange, no matter the reputation it has.
I don't partake in ICOs or airdrops and I'm very careful whenever I send cryptocurrency to someone.

Aside from that, I like to think that I have pretty decent security.
I browse the internet with NoScript turned on, never run any sort of sketchy plugins and I don't just randomly download/run software.

Well, you don't lose them in this sense unless you are hacked, but this person is also talking about losing an investment. I, for instance, had around $1k worth of btc when it was ATH. I didn't sell by bitcoins, so due to the huge drop I lost a very significant amount of it. As the months went by, I needed money, so I has to sell that amount for much less than $1k. So yeah, 2018 was not a very good year if we talk about cryptos for me.

Now what is your own side you ever lost your funds?

I know it was my own mistake not to sell when I had the chance, and I got over it. I believe in the market, I hate FUD and panic-selling newbies, and I am pretty sure cryptos will not be forgotten for a long time. We are still at early stages here.

Now what is your own side you ever lost your funds?

I already lost huge amount of money because most of my funds are in bitcoin and ethereum which now have low price in the market. After the falling price of bitcoin and ethereum I still not regain all my losses. I lost thousands of dollars because of falling down and now I still hoping that I regain it.

I'll just take the experience as one hell of a fact that what goes up must come down.
I still have some funds that I save for the winter so I'm still good but then I wish all the terrible things that is coming from now on are going to be ignored so it won't cause panic. Still content with the price right now so long as it won't go low as $1000

[Siren]

 I never consider losses the value of my coins in folio because for me as long as i have the same volume of coins and tokens that means my investments are intact so theres no thing as losing funds in mine mate not unless there comes a time that i will ge needing the money and sell them in losses so that time i might have answer here

I lost most of my funds because of trading because I was not trading that well and for not educating my self enough to trade right, but still I am not giving up and try to learn from my past mistakes.

Losing some btc with ico projects who completely scams investors money, I have that with amigo coin the project give a promising offers
where I was to lazy sending my btc and holds my share of coins, only to realize that there's nothing that will happen to this project, I take
it as charge to my experience and will not happen again, I'll be wiser to assess carefully before investing again.

While at that time I never bought directly either through exchange or ICO, I never felt a loss of funds that I had gotten from hard work, but sometimes felt sorry for being late to sell when prices could still make a profit of 100-300% from current prices.

[Ucy]

Well, the crypto space was pretty much fruitful back then. The unsustainable predictions attracted lots of late comers who got disappointed. Always expect the worse in whatever you do..
I know of prominent crypto personality who knew ahead of time that this was going to happen and he/she sold everything.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

One thing that you have to know, although most bitcoin investor had suffered a lot of losses but they still stand for investing and they are still loyal to keep spreading a good thought for many people to use bitcoin at least in this forum.

For myself, I once bought an altcoin that was experiencing price increases at that time. Maybe you've seen how the altcoin is being pumped, the price will increase many times but after that the altcoin has decreased dramatically more than the initial price, and until now I still hold it. Maybe it was my regret being a cryptocurrency investor, losing money and losing time for sure.

[romero121]

I lost my dream home, which I was planning to build years ago. The sudden peak in the price gave me the strength to initiate the work. All that went away in a very small period when I made everything done with the design. Once after that I dropped the plan and still living in rented home. Hope my dream for a home gets fulfilled at the earliest.

That's what we call cycles. The problem is that not many has witnessed the last bear cycle, majority entered during the bearish trend of 2017. They FOMO, but didn't have the mindset to protect their funds, they just let it sit on exchanges, and not securing their accounts.

Now what is your own side you ever lost your funds?

Personally, I was a victim of these so called bitcoin doubler in the beginning of my crypto journey. But so far I have learn my mistakes and haven't lost anything in either exchanges or in my wallet. Although I have invested in a couple of ICO's early in 2018, was able to get out and just lost a couple of hundred (around 1300), but I'm cool.
