Group therapy - How did you lose your entire stash of bitcoin?

[P_Shep]

My tale of woe:

I lost all my bitcoin due to complications with crones disease while in India.

My story is so pitiful you don't even want to hear it. Besides me, it involves two scammers and a boat. The two scammers aren't with us anymore. Regretfully the boat isn't either.

Converted a chunk to buy gold in 2017,that's a biggest mistake.

N00bs.

Something like that would have never happened to me and to be honest sounds a little fishy.

I know how to protect my Bitcoin... If I ever had any I mean. I am a just nocoiner that likes to hang around here just for the hats. I lied all the time about me having any crypto at all. I have none. There's that.

A tale as old as time. Let me try and recall it for you. It was sometime in 2013 I believe. The community organized a proof of keys cruise. Everybody loaded their BTC on their address, printed their private keys and hopped aboard for the cruise of a lifetime. Unfortunately, the cruise ship was struck by lightning. This strike put a hole in our floating Bitcoin ship while knocking out the power and making it nearly impossible for anyone to send a transaction from their wallets. As water spewed in, many were forced to abandon ship leaving their precious private keys sinking to the depths of the ocean. The sea was angry that day my friends. If only we had a bigger boat.

Amazing how easy it is to lose your private keys when on a boat. So many ways accidents can happen.

Bitcoiners should just stay clear of boats altogether... I'm surprised Elwar made it out alive! Well, he very nearly didn't. Just goes to show really.

Rare to have a tie in poker with only two cards showing.  In other words, poker is usually played with the counting of 5 cards, so there would be a need to see what were the other 3 cards.

Of course, with 5 cards, it is more likely to have a tie.  If a real tie, then split pot,... rite?

I would not proclaim to be a poker expert, but there are going to be some common standards and practices, but there also might be some variation in house rules, too. 

I suspect there are a decent number of gamblers in bitcoin, but of course, they are playing a different kind of gambling, so there are quite a few ways to lose some if NOT all value. I suppose like gambling sometimes the gambler can be a bit reluctant to admit some losses, even if such admissions might be for his/her own good.

There is only 1 way to lose in this fashion in Holdem and its for the board to flush out.

Without getting too much caught up in the rules of Holdem, because it seems that I don't sufficiently understand because I was thinking about poker hands that win, that involve counting 5 cards.... So maybe I am way out in left field...


Anyhow, I thought that the overall topic and showing the cards was that members were posting in this thread as a means to disclose the various tragic ways in which they had lost their bitcoins... and you are saying that you did not lose your bitcoins?  Can we be friends?  I would like to get to know some actual peeps who still happen to have some bitcoins and did not lose them, tragically or otherwise.

By the way, if you keep gambling, you are likely to join the club of losers... then I will become less interested in becoming your lil buddy... hahahahahaha

I lost my stash of Bitcoin when a friend of mine scammed me when I was a beginner and didn't know some of the basics with public and private keys.

With friends like that, who needs enemies?
