Something you don't have to forget

[Darker45]

Although the possibility was already hinted at a very early point in Bitcoin's existence, it was probably more of imaginary that each coin would reach as high as $69,000. Possible but highly improbable. To look forward to Bitcoin reaching $50,000 was certainly a far-fetched idea at those early moments. If you've got thousands of them for next to nothing and the price rose to $2, would you rather grab the opportunity to sell it or you'd risk keeping it for that slim possibility knowing that it could go back to nothing?

Most people never knew Bitcoin will be this huge and important because I wish they do everyone would've at least have 10 of it but again there are people who have this Bitcoin but because the value then was not encouraging most people lost their wallet password,  am saying this because I know most people do actually lost their wallet password before they heard Bitcoin is now a great coin.
However,  what am saying in essence is that whatsoever coin you have or you are mining please keep it safe and don't forget your password very important because you can't and will never recover the password.  I believed within a short time most of these coin will have a great value,  a value that one of it will change your story.

op Thank you first for discussing such an important topic. To be honest, there are still many people who keep their bitcoins in the wallet or forget the wallet password. So we have to carefully enter our wallet password so that we don't forget this password. If we are trading in something as important as Bitcoin, we must keep our wallet safe. If not, the chances of damage will be high.

Yeah, many have already lost their Bitcoins forever because of forgetting the keys, seeds, etc. of their wallets.

If it is not for those early adoptions, the market wont grow this much. But thanks to them and to those lost bitcoins forever, they have already contributed to the market for having that retained value.

Probably some have died already without even telling their wallets password and recovery seeds.

It is a fact that people never imagined that Bitcoin would be so valuable. When the price of Bitcoin was absolutely worthless, people bought these Bitcoins without caring about the value of Bitcoin and even if they lost their password, they did not try to recover it. If we consider from our current position, we are not valuing this shitcoin which is worthless, just like it was when bitcoin was very low and people didn't value it that way. I haven't been on bitcoin forum for long and haven't invested in bitcoin. But I keep my bitcoin wallet very secure and password seed phrase carefully. Because I know if the seed phrase is lost, I won't be able to recover it.

We'll never know for sure... Bitcoin might either end up being worth nothing at all, or it could become valuable due to its very limited supply. Time has proven that Bitcoin has become valuable. This isn't much different from any coin or possession you have right now. As long as the future remains unpredictable, and there's no time traveler from the future telling us what will happen, we're still making educated guesses. Keeping your private key isn't a bad choice, even though in the worst-case scenario, it might be worth nothing.

Bitcoin serves as proof that in its less than 15 years of existence, it has already brought many surprises. And don't forget, Bitcoin could still drop to zero or become even more valuable than it is now. We don't know what the future holds; it's truly a long mystery.

I don’t think the lost coins are due to people forgetting their passwords. There are services out there which can try and brute force the password as long as it’s not too long or feature special characters.

Most people lost their coins forever because they either threw away their hard drive or they overwritten it. And in these scenarios it’s impossible to recover the lost coins.

Now a days nobody forgets their password or throws away their hard drive because Bitcoin has a huge value.

I remember before Bitcoin became what it is today but this coin started to get quite a lot of attention because several exchanges had appeared, there was a person who posted that he had forgotten the password from a Bitcoin wallet containing 100 Bitcoins and asked for help on one of the local forums in my country and unfortunately he also didn't back up the Private Key and other things related to his wallet, but I didn't follow the development of this problem whether he was finally able to take the Bitcoin or not, but actually it's quite natural that someone doesn't really care about the Bitcoin they have at the beginning of this coin's appearance. because no one knows about the future, like me who doesn't know that one of the altcoins that is quite stable and currently has a high price and lost quite a lot because it used an online wallet and was hacked.
So no one knows the future and whether in the future Bitcoin will still find its new ATH.

[SamReomo]

Those who were early adopters of Bitcoin somehow knew that Bitcoin will get huge one day and I believe most of those are enjoy their lives already and they don't have to do any work in their lifetime anymore but some of the weak hands definitely lost their Bitcoin because they just considered it as a digital coins which won't get huge by any means.

Those later people might be regretting now because they have considered Bitcoin not much worthy have already lost their wallet access and thus it's almost impossible for them to recover the Bitcoin they had earned via mining or doing simple tasks to acquire some Bitcoin.

I'm not a altcoin lover and that's why I won't encourage others to purchase and hold altcoins but surely any good altcoin may get huge in value in future but the chances of that altcoin's getting 0 in value are also there. I believe that there can be some good altcoins which may start with very low values and later grow as huge giants however there is a lot of risk in that sphere.

The impact of modernity and digital technology is evident across the globe. The impact of modernity and digital methods continues to shape the world in broad and profound ways. And the best invention of this modern age is digital currency or Bitcoin. Bitcoin's value today has surprised many people, as it was considered worthless in the past. Bitcoin is currently overvalued so it is always better to be cautious of our Bitcoin and hold wallets, as you never know what the future holds for various cryptocurrencies especially when it comes to digital assets. Storing them on a USB is a smart move, as it keeps them safe and easily accessible when needed.

[Lorence.xD]

We were not sure about Bitcoin's value back then especially if it wasn't even worth around $1 so those who accumulated a lot of Bitcoin didn't even take it seriously to keep them safe and secure, we can even remember the story of a guy who used a lot of Bitcoin just to buy a pizza. Plus if you think of it, owning thousands amount if Bitcoins back then which is worth like a cent, once you see the market reaching almost a dollar, you would already consider yourself to sell your holdings cause profit is actually profit. I think some of the holders back then actually didn't forget their password or seed phrase cause it is actually common sense to write down important things for you to remember, the reason I think they are losing all of the Bitcoin is the reason they might change their hard wallet or even upgrade cause there's nothing to lose in holding something that doesn't even worth a lot.

[Publictalk792]

You are right my dear friend Bitcoin go up a lot. When it was launched many people were thinking this is not a good idea they were commenting it will never be succeeded it will never go up. So people didn't buy it. But Bitcoin just show its colour and still showing and surprise everyone. Some of them who lost the seed phrase. They also think that this is nothing but they buy it for fun. But 10 BTC in one wallet so it is not possible. Because Bitcoin has limited supply at that time when they buy.  And we know that the biggest transaction of Bitcoin was 10000 Bitcoins for Pizza.
By the way there are possibilities that the people who lost the phrases they suddenly find it anywhere and they open their wallets.
But thing is that still some people think that Bitcoin is nothing but soon they will see how Bitcoin will perform. And in my point of this is the time to buy Bitcoin.

Yes, what you say is true, what's more, the superpowers will continue to fight to eliminate this asset with all the means they have so that this asset does not dominate the banking world, of course not long ago the news from the big exchange Binance lost due to violations made Cz resign , This news surprised many people who invest in Cryptocurrency. Will this be a nightmare for the cryptocurrency industry?

If Binance goes bankrupt like the previous big exchange (FTX), what will happen if we have a lot of Bitcoin with no place to buy or sell it. Is this what people fear that Bitcoin will go to 0? As we know, in terms of blockchain technology, this technology is quite good to date and no one has been able to hack it.

Thanks for the advise but I think it has been mentioned thousand if not million of times in this forum about keeping our wallet/passwords/seeds  all the time , safer and being secured and yes that is what we are doing now .
though thanks for the heads up , but I think you must act with that for your funds(assuming that you are Holder) and you must not generally speaks for all coin because there are only few from many that will have great value majority will fall.

[kentrolla]

This stands true for me as well, I think we shouldn't be careless let it be any crypto whether it's Bitcoin or Altcoin we should remember password and security key, phrases safely as we never know which coin we hold in any wallet can become next big thing.. I still regret my mistake of not having a back up of the password for my blockchain wallet and also not making a note or saving the seed phrase 8 years ago.

But most importantly never leave any crypto just like that for long term without monitoring because it might lead to disasters as well like the one of FTX and Luna.

Most people did not know that the value of Bitcoin would reach the level it is now and the demand for it would increase so much. We have seen in the past many people with large amounts of Bitcoins stored in their wallets who have lost their passwords and are unable to recover them. In the past most people bought their bitcoins and kept them in wallets but now they cannot sell them because they have lost their passwords and are stuck. That's why it's important to store the keys, your funds are safe as long as your keys are in a safe place. We all know that if your keys are lost, your funds will be lost, so the most important thing is to keep the keys in a safe place. And when you invest and keep your keys in a safe place, it can change your future a lot and give you huge profits.

I know exactly how this feels, when something has no value we treat it like it doesn't matter, even now in crypto space I have lost access to few of my coins and I don't worry because they have no good value but imagine one day they end up have good value, that's where I will start to regret.

I have learnt to take this very serious, no matter how ridiculous the value of your assets might be right now do not think it's impossible for them to have good value some day, Bitcoin have already set a good numbers of lessons and only those who have ears will hear.

If we truly understand the benefits of Bitcoin maybe we would have handled how we keep or hold it in the first place? The same thing happened with Ethereum and I still don't learn, although it's not as good as Bitcoin but these two won't be the only golden opportunity in this space, let's be serious with our private keys and recovery seeds.

[yazher]

Well, that's just how it is because no one has ever anticipated the future of bitcoins because there was no support from big companies or popular people back then so only a few are enthusiastic about it. Now the tide has turned and everyone wants to know how they can invest but unfortunately, others became victims of cloud mining scams and Ponzi schemes in their journey with bitcoins. Thankfully I was able to move on and make a difference with my approach and found this great community and here I learn what I have been missing all these years in terms of bitcoin investment.

[yhiaali3]

As far as I think, I expect that the largest losses in Bitcoin were the result of selling early at a cheap price and not the result of losing wallet passwords.

Of course, there are many people who did not appreciate the value of Bitcoin at that time, so they lost their keys or passwords as a result of negligence, but there is a larger section of people who sold their Bitcoin at the first rise and thus suffered severe losses because they did not hold their Bitcoin yet.

Nowadays everyone is starting to realize the value of Bitcoin and therefore I don't think we will hear any more stories about losing keys or wallet passwords.

Overvalued? bitcoin is over valued mate? lol it is in natural value since there are no hyping ,
you can call it then when there is a Bull running in which for me valuable to say overvalued.
and also  Modernity shapes the world and that is why cryptocurrencies are the future
of our currencies .

[Rockstarguy]

During the early time of bitcoin most people didn't expect bitcoin will come this big and will be a great asset, people never took it serious which they never bothered to even to secure their seed phrase properly. But from the experience of bitcoin people will learn lessons not just about keeping the seed phrase in a safe place for the future. Bitcoin have really open the mind of people to learn how to take every new innovation as important for people to watch out what will be the next phase of it.

Be it cryptocurrency or not people need to learn to take every information details very important because it can be of something that will be needed in the future.
