I lost my bitcoin

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Your story is very touching and I honestly feel for you, but this is if your story is truly true anyway.
In all honesty, the only one who can tell if there is still hope for you to get your bitcoins back or not is your friend, John.
Because from your story, it's clear you don't know if he helped you store the bitcoins in a wallet software (this means the piece of paper he gave you contains your wallet passphrase) or whether he left the bitcoins on an exchange (this means the piece of paper he gave you contains your login details to the exchange, that's probably email address and password).
And another imagination on my mind right now is, how certain are you that John has not withdrawn and spent your bitcoins in your absence? Did you in some way come across your wallet address to be sure the bitcoins are still in there?

I think you have to look for every means to contact john, I don't know why I have this feeling that John has probably spent your bitcoins in your back, you don't meet people from online and trust them like that.

I wish you all the best and really pray everything works out in your favour.

As mk4 said, impossible to believe, but for the benefit of doubt, if you're still reading this under the shitload of responses (I DM'd too), talk to a journalist from a big paper. Pitch the story properly, with points of detail and chronology. And get all your documentation ready.

Do all those latter steps anyway, cause it doesn't matter if you look for a recovery expert, journalist, lawyer, etc. All those documents prim and proper will help.

[D ltr]

if you feel that you have lost your bitcoins, 100% of your bitcoins will not come back, it has been confirmed, so I don't think there is a solution that can be given, just lamenting about your fate. In the future, be more careful in transactions, don't trust new people.

[Rigon]

Here you will find someone to help. You could not prove any documents here. If you can comment or give a skin short, then maybe someone can see and say something.And I would say that you can always regret that you lost everything because of your own mistakes.And I will tell everyone to learn from this and never make a mistake in life.

Of course this is very unfortunate if someone has to lose their bitcoin especially for beginners losing bitcoin is a form of their desperation in investing in the crypto world, for that we don't easily trust anyone in this investment, let alone some say they can multiply bitcoins or the hatching process for example like our passwords can be taken by irresponsible people, we really hope that this doesn't happen again to other miners.and also don't easily trust people we don't know, let alone they say they can multiply bitcoins by a very small amount reasonable

There have been many cases like this but I wonder why there are still so many people who believe in unreasonable offers. I even got the offer but that's all I ignored. In the online field I will not dare to transact with people I just know. Whatever he says I consider to be untrue, I prefer my assets to be safe rather than giving to people who offer greater profits.

Its not been offered since the guy is just really someone who had been met online.Who would be the dumb one will really be entrusting their investing decisions just because someone had suggested it??

I dont really believe on this story actually because no one on their right mind on taking up some loan just because someone do say that you should invest with bitcoin.For sure
he is the one who do benefit out of those coins who had been bought and there's no way that you could contact him.

actually a matter of trust, I strongly believe that there is no difference, new people you know or people you have known for a long time. when it comes to "money", you always have to stay alert and don't easily believe in saying you want to help.
I am as sure as the friend above, if it has been confirmed, then you can be sure your bitcoin has been lost and will not be able to return it, even if in any way. every mistake that has been made in a bitcoin transaction is certain to be irreversible, so care must be taken not to make that mistake.

[dortheamangum]

Very conflicted on this one as I think you either did not own bitcoins from the start and John scammed you pretty bad or this story is made up because what the hell, why would you trust a random person living far away from you to make a financial decision for you?

[Bushdark]

This might be trus, who knows. I think you can not get your Bitcoin back now that you don't have access to the private key and your phone had been burnt. If there is any way you can contact John that opened the account for you, then that will be fine if he has the private key to the account. This story is confusing but I think you need to move on with your life so you won't bother yourself on retrieving it  because it is impossible to gain access to the wallet without the private key. You need to think of another way to pay back your debt before the worse happens.

[Vaculin]

I've got a feeling that you never owned any bitcoin to begin with, considering you claim that you have met a completely random person on a "hookup app" and they created everything for you including your bitcoin wallet!
You may only had a watch-only address that contained some bitcoins that didn't belong to you (you didn't have the key to from the start).

In short, you were totally scammed by John. The fact that he has convinced you to invest and let him do all those stuffs then you are giving him the full permission to scam you having you unaware. I don't think you can still retrieve whatever you have bitcoins your wallet, because as far as i know you don't really have real bitcoins from the start. Everything was well planned with John.

[topman21]

I have read your story and learned some details from here.But the mistake that can easily get your claim denied is to fail. You have to take the result for this.You do not have any documents here which is why you are getting any benefit.And those who have done this are a complete scandal.But the reason you cheated the most in life is because you changed your religion for it.You will have to pay compensation for the rest of your life.

You can not dis believe the story because you are not there. Will believe because some people trust people the way they trust them self. if some one want to scam you it will be in your house and scam you because of the trust you have for the person. I don't like to bring what i passed through the scammers to the public because some people will blame me of having direct trust to some body that i don't know well. People face many trouble of scam

[famososMuertos]

OP, the answer is easy... but first get on this side of the community that reads you.

Data useless:
Kuwait...(*)
2014...(*)
American, name: John via Tinder... (*)
Christianity and Islam... (*)
I borrowed $300,000 and bought over 600 BTC...(*)

The above is what is called in these cases "straw" I don't know how that is translated in the jargon of other countries.

Here your answer, common sense you allowed a stranger to handle data of an investment of $300,000.00
"John helped me buy and save the data in my phone."(*)

So even if you had the necessary information to proceed accordingly there is nothing to do.

hello everybody
       I hope you will accept my presence and interact with me and solve my problem
       But before I raise my issue, I have to explain the story to you from the beginning
       I am from Kuwait and in 2014 I met an American friend called John via Tinder and he told me that he would come to work in Kuwait for a year and I met him at the airport and he was a very polite person and because I live without a family I offered him to live with me and he welcomed that and he learned Arabic from me and we talked about Christianity and Islam and he was able to convinces me that Christianity is the correct religion and I converted to Christianity so I was the first one convert to a Christian from kuwait and John advised me to invest in bitcoin and I trust John so I borrowed $300,000 and bought over 600 BTC John helped me buy and save the data in my phone and he gave me a paper with all the data insideand he asked me to save this paper well And after one year the john come back to his country and I was trying to convince my community  to Christianity, but I was arrested for 5 years and my phone was also confiscated because Christianity is not welcome in my country and after I got out of prison I went to my house and i found it completely burnt because of racism and contempt for religions, from muslims,
 Then I went to the company where John was working, to look for his phone number but I couldn't find any data about him, and now the bank has filed a lawsuit against me before the court asking me to pay the loan in full after I lost my job and my house
       Sorry for the long post, my question is:
       i have created a new wallet Can I restore my old wallet data with the purchase reference number through my Visa Card ?

   Can anyone help me get my wallet back, because I am really in dire financial hardship and ostracized from my community and want to emigrate .     
    I knowing that all this is a test for me from my god

This is not a joke, please give me a solution
I'm really sorry if my English is not good

 

do you make up stories? I'm not sure about your story, you save on the phone and now you create a new wallet it definitely won't help unless you keep the keys as long as the keys are not in hand then it's impossible for you to get your bitcoins back.

Since you lost all the data that could retrieve your wallet I think there's no chance that you could open that wallet again.
But if you could retrieve the phone that has been confiscated to you then you could try to search for the wallet keys on that phone to access the wallet.

Even if we somehow assume that this story is true there is no way to recover your coins, you need either the device to be in a good shape, your paper wallet or that you somehow remember your seed words or private keys, since neither of those scenarios is true no one can help you to recover those coins, now you need to be careful as I have no doubts that there will be some people out there that will tell you otherwise so they can scam you, and if you believe them then you will end up losing even more money.

[Xxmodded]

Sadness with your story but you looks most trusted for every one are still new comer for your self, I think what ever business building never try to believe with new comer because they have indicate how to be scammer. I think your planning investing on bitcoin trough price still drop is good but better before investing on bitcoin learn early how to save assets and how risk when your public key know by the other. Maybe you can try contact your friend and better checking his document on your government to know his real scammer and run away your bitcoin fund or not.

[Calex12]

A very complex story. Got confused a couple of times

[Marvell1]

I've got a feeling that you never owned any bitcoin to begin with, considering you claim that you have met a completely random person on a "hookup app" and they created everything for you including your bitcoin wallet!
You may only had a watch-only address that contained some bitcoins that didn't belong to you (you didn't have the key to from the start).

I don't think you can still retrieve whatever you have bitcoins your wallet, because as far as i know you don't really have real bitcoins from the start. Everything was well planned with John.

As OP said it was John who helped OP store bitcoins on his phone and gave OP a piece of paper containing all the data, so only OP and John can access OP's wallet.
If your story is true, I dare say it was John who took your bitcoins.
Because you have lost all your wallet data, the only way you can get that bitcoin back is to find John but this seems impossible as it's been happening since 2014 and the bitcoin price has gone up thousands of times. I guess John could have sold off those bitcoins and is enjoying life.

The worst thing about bitcoins or any cryptocurrency is that once they are lost, they are lost forever. There’s no way you can retrieve them back but you can definitely take help from the law for the damage that has happened to your home.

[Dumbsize]

It’s hard to accept that you have lost such a big amount but you should have been careful. I don’t understand why you didn’t keep your password safe when you knew that it’s a lot of money. There is no way you can get your money back now. It would just be a waste of time and money to try to recover the lost funds.
