Peter Schiff Lost His Bitcoin

[tvplus006]

I have doubts about the veracity of the words Peter Schiff posted on Twitter about the fact that he lost access to the wallet. To get such a screen as he published, just enter the wrong password. But if he really lost access, he needs to register on bitcointalk to learn more about safe use of the wallet.

As per his statement he knows the password but unable to log in the wallet because there is something issue with wallet or may be  something updated issue with that wallet.So i think how can someone without any knowledge of Wallet they store the bitcoins there because we know the importance of Password or Private Key or Wallet Seed if we take any of those backup we can easily restore our Wallet if any issues happens with our wallet. But how can Peter Schiff gives a silly statement like that.

Which he won't do under any circumbstance. I guess this is more "I told you so" moment for him rather than "damn, what have I done wrong"

According to Cointelegraph, perennial bitcoin bear Peter Schiff has lost his bitcoin due to losing his password:

only noob will be fooled by this ,for sure there will be another attack against bitcoin from this one since this issue comes out to think that it is very impossible for people like him losing his Password.what about you Believing on what says here?

of course he is already in Bitcointalk because he already has Bitcoin so it is normal that he knew this forum and also he knew where to fool people.

He is saying "his wallet forget his password”. It may be possible that somebody hacked his password and changed it. There is seed with every wallet and you can always recover your password from that. Where is Peter Schiff seed? Its very easy to criticize bitcoin.

Peter is obviously making this up to gain more attention. Look at the engagement his tweets are getting. He is clearly struggling to remain relevant.

I think he might be a bit jealous of CSW, what with all the "not your private keys, not you bitcoin" nonsense and what not going on.

 

Why would he care anyway, as bitcoin clearly holds 'no intrinsic value' for him, quite literally. Guess his password must be of value ?

 

Why bitcoin has intrinsic value ...

Well, this old man is definitely searching for the attention through " Forgetting the password " and other trivial excuses, and to be honest I don't really care if this Peter Schiff lost his amount of Bitcoin or not, it does not even matter, and this information will never help me.
In fact, we need to ignore this kind of news to be honest, and focus on the things that can improve the era of Bitcoin in different ways , it would be through creating some Blockchain projects with a new ideas.

Oh.. so this is the reason behind his bearish predictions with Bitcoin. Poor old man lost the private keys and password to his Bitcoin wallet and is therefore jealous of those who kept their coins securely. IMO, he should leave all this bitterness aside and move on with his regular life. It is still not too late to own a few coins. And Peter Schiff is still financially sound enough to purchase a few dozen BTC at the current market prices.

I guess you're right, most of the topics here are already focused on a popular person. The OP asked on our thoughts on this common-sense situation, how will you react if someone lost huge money? a simple question with a basic answer right.

People nowadays are getting too much attention, If someone tweeted, it's already here in BTC discussion, every individual is important are always in this discussion as if it helps the growth of BTC in 2020. And btw, Peter Schiff will always take an opportunity to spit non-sense on the public, I'm tired of people like that.

When CW say something it has to be on the news so this Peter also wanted to be in the news without claiming he is satoshi.  We understood so that he wants BTC to drop but why does cointelegraph have to name him "perennial bitcoin bear Peter Schiff "? 

He'd be one of the person who will line up with Jaime Dimon  one day.

Someone posted on twitter and already gives Trezor wallet to Peter Schiff,

it is very unfortunate if the private key is lost and right now the property does not belong. but indeed this has its positive side, where the volume of bitcoin circulating in the market is getting smaller, thus allowing prices to grow faster. I think he is a great investor and knows what to do next

Looking at the fact that Peter has been critical of bitcoin, this may just be another way of trying to discredit bitcoin and seek unsolicited attention from the public. He knew the sacredness of his password, it's his responsibility to keep it safe and not someone else.

It is a pity that Peter Schiff did not publish the address of the wallet, it would be interesting to study its contents. If his password is hacked, there will be no bitcoins. And if we see bitcoins there, it means that no one hacked Peter Schiff's wallet.

Someone set it up for him?
Hmm.. something is also fishy out there.

Well, I dont think anyone could help him if someone already got it. Right?
It might not be loss but could be stolen. 

Give this a month and a article about him will come out.

[Ethereums]

can't stop smiling with this case, I had once this situation and asking many services about recovering wallets.
Finally it back and I need 2 years to remind it, seriously 2 years to make that wallet open again.
Its surprisingly just because i input 1 char after original password while i changed my password routine.
Now i tried to use hardware like trezor to split my savings of coin. Hopefully nothing goes wrong from now on.
Like my friend mentioned me to save the paper card. And the recovering seeds on that paper card already on safety box.

from a person that is not treating Bitcoin Good?no one could help Him because this is just His own created story,how can a man like him with all resources and very intelligent can just Lose his Password like that?

and you are definitely correct that in just a week or months he will have a Big words towards Bitcoin for sure.and we can expect it like what he always do.

almost every thread that talks about this issue has same theory that this is just another false statement from peter to discredit Bitcoin so expect anything soon from Him.

      I think Peter Schiff just wants to misinform about the potential of the BTC, for people to panic. I don't think ShapeShift is a platform with problems. Regarding the password, if he really owns 1 BTC on this exchange, his account password is spelled incorrectly by him. The man is very arrogant and I do not understand what he earns by discrediting Bitcoin.

He is obsessed with gold and I think he takes offense that bitcoin is compared to gold by its boosters. Jim Rickards is another gold bug with a problem with bitcoin. However, not all gold bugs are anti-bitcoin.
