Never give up

[sheenshane]

Lucky for you to find those 3 hard drives. I think the title should be lost and found and not never giver up. Still luck has been into your side. Back in 2017 my PC had an electrical problem which started a fire damaging my hard drive. Never regain anything from the hard drive ive lost all my password, private keys. Now i wrote them all down and keep at a safe place just a second layer security in case it happen again.

I agree that bitcoin was very easy to obtain way back in 2012-2013. I still remember the days where I save the links of the faucets and captchas and earn from it.

Rolling dice were also there and became one of the profitable platforms I have tried. I luckily kept my bitcoins until it went high and I was so happy about my decision of joining bitcoin before.

I guess in life we should never give up. I also got (but just dust amounts) way back and it was about 7 bitcoins. I know I printed in somewhere and in early 2017, I was like a work horse trying to find for my privatekeys because I know that I have save it somewhere in one of my bags of folder and I was able to find it in the next 2 months and obviously I was very lucky because the price goes to the moon at the end of the year. Sold everything, gamble a few and invest it offline.

When you're looking for your hard drive but didn't found it, and eventually found it after years. The lesson here is that, you'll find it when you're not looking for it. Haha but you're still lucky since you were able to find it again although it's kinda late (better than never), for sure, it'll still help you. Just hold it. Never give up

  Being late is better than being never and something is better than nothing so if today price is not high so no need to be worry I crypto currency it is not always a good time and not always a bad one so try to mover with time and never get fade or frustrated with market, it is now being good, so waiting is good option for you.

why at that time did you forget about BTC and forget about the crypto world. Do you think that BTC will not create an uptrend and reach 20K? how do you feel now after you return to the crypto world? I'm sure you are more motivated when you see the BTC market today. the graph of each coin increases well.

There's always another chance mate so dont give easily which is try and try until you succeed. Actually here in crypto world you will become successful only if you are really interested on it. but must have more patience and lastly bear in mind to make always a back up in a safe place to assure no problem afterwards.

This worth celebration simply because you finally found your hard drive and recovered your bitcoins. Also it gives hope to those that has given up that no matter how bad things may be now, it will change for better with time. I believe bitcoin and cryptocurrency still has a long way to go so we need to be patient and be determined  with it as it evolves everytime. By this, we will be sure of profiting massively from it.

In 2019 it is so easy to buy and sell Bitcoions too and it was instant money from selling to transfering the moeny into paypal then into my bank account.  How things have changed for the better for cryotocoins. How things have changed for the better for cryotocoins

Yes. As time pass by everything changes. With bitcoin, the price is changing constantly, and forever will be. Because of crypto influence, buying bitcoin is easy as a piece of cake. Bitcoin is really changing, price, mode of payment, additional of alts. But for the change, it's just getting better. And for the price, I believe that this will go up still. Just like what history says.

I am in a time where this words are really valuable, more than the post can ever suggest.

I once heard in a song that sometimes the only reward to have faith is when it's tested again and again everyday, for now seems to be truth in my life, including Bitcoin.

But i still choose to have faith. Faith in Bitcoin. Faith in the future. Faith in the possibility of helping and changing the world.

  Of course things are changing with every passing year and the same will happen to bitcoin, if it is being down around the market one year so the next year it will increase by more than double, it is volatile and with time price gets high and low, if we look at the history it is very easy to know about upcoming price as last year it was low so now it will rise.

Considering that you had already all but given up on recovering your drives, it would not hurt you much that you missed out on the all time high. There are many similar cases of lost bitcoins, many of which may never be found, so congrats on getting your bitcoins back.
If you missed the last bull run, get ready for the next.

[Jimmymark]

Same as what happened to you in 2013 I had same problem. Lost bitcoin in 2015 from hard drive got damage. Never received these lost bitcoins. Still today can’t recover becasuse laptop had got sold off by mistake. But the hard drive was faulty so can’t recover anyway.
So you are the luck one that recovered you cryptocurrency. Luck you.

But I also never give up. And in 2016 started again collecting coins.
Just wanted to share

Used that money to start all over again, there is no good reason for us to give up we should continue to hold and just enjoy the market. There will be a new peak on the perfect time so try to be relax and do focus on buying bitcoin or any coins, profit will begin if you believe on it.

[Jimmymark]

Also wanted to share, why is this forum keep on deleting my post. I think this forum should let us express owner self. Not try to control what they want to hear. I only share what I think and history about cryptocurrency which could help others.

Still about 5 posts have already been deleted and probably this one will.
We talk about bitcoin decentralise what about this forum. who control this, which government state please help me understand what happening here.

Something need to change. Let keep this forum free not control. This is why we love cryptocurrency.

Exactly.You won't be much profitable in the next months if you won't start buying potential coins at its low price.So never think of giving up because what had happened last 2017 might also repeat its history.For now,keep on enjoying on what you have and never stop believing on bitcoin.Stay positive inspite of the negative people around.Huge profits will come to you when you least expect it.

Congrats on the big hit, man. I left most of the hard drives when I moved out of London, so that's a few thousand bitcoins down the drain. Oh well; no use crying over spilt milk. Onward and upward!

never cry over something that has happened, if indeed it has become a fortune we will definitely return again even in a form that we have never realized. Bitcoin trading cannot be guessed, it always changes from time to time.

I played about with Bitcoins and litecoins and Feathercoins back in 2013. These were the days when Bitcoin was pretty easy to obtain through online mining pools and faucets ect.  As time went by,  I lost interest in Crypto and kinda forgot about it until Bitcoin hit 19k in 2017 . By this time I had changed my computer and hard drives and along with it all my passwords and wallets and dat files,  to cut a long story short I searched all over for my old hardrives, ran recovery on one of the drives I had kept and found nothing I gave up searching and just got used to the fact that I had lost a lot of money.

Fast foward to 2019 we were cleaning out a cuboard and at the very back was a shoe box and in that shoebox were 3 hardrives one of which contained all my passwords, wallets and dat files for all my Bitcoins, Litecoin and Feathercoins. I may have lost out on when Bitcoin was at its best but I now have all the info I need. I have sold some of it and will hold the rest until Bitcoin goes up again and it will. The money I got from selling some of the bitcoin and litecoin even though not at its highest I basically got for doing nothing apart from online pool mining  and playing with faucets  back in 2013,  so im happy with it. Never give up if you have lost money on Cryptos and if you did what I did keep,  looking for that lost hardrive it will turn up eventully.  In 2019 it is so easy to buy and sell Bitcoions too and it was instant money from selling to transfering the moeny into paypal then into my bank account.  How things have changed for the better for cryotocoins

your experience is very interesting, drawing conclusions from the experience you tell me, in my opinion, we must always be careful in investing in the world of cryptocurrency and we must always be enthusiastic in any situation because prices can rise without us knowing it. keep trying and work hard I'm sure we will all get maximum results.

[CoinChili]

What an inspiring real experience of yours. And you were lucky enough that you've met bitcoin wayback 2013, the momentum also at your side when you found your old hard drive. I may agree that it is easy to mine btc before unlike today, there are many miners worldwide. But honestly, i am not aware that there are already faucets offering litecoin and feathercoin before. Well, it is because i just met crypto lately 2 years ago.
 
It's good to hear that you did not completely lose your interest in crypto.

Its really fortunate for those who believe on bitcoin on early days, but for those who are just new in this market and already lose their money I think you should keep on going. Never give up on any trials in your life, with bitcoin it can make things possible. A great experience we have in this market, let’s continue to work.

The first-timers were the most luckiest in the industry. The current experience on the industry has negative impact compare to the old days. Scammers weren't seen as before in the early days but what's happening among the newcomers now is worrisome, as many potentials investors are been scared away due to the urge trend of ICOs STOs scam rampaging the industry. Although, man must continue the hustle.

Bitcoin is all about the trust, when you trust it pays back. Here too the trust has reflected through another way,  At some corner he has got the trust and believed he'll get back the private keys. Now this has made all that's been kept safe earlier by the year 2013. His life experience with the recovery of funds has now got the coincidence with our price recovery. We all should never give up with cryptocurrency, let's just keep hold and experience the growth soon.
