Day i have lost my 100 bitcoins

[Bonds6637]

It's unfortunate that some people only remember their holdings when the bitcoin price has skyrocketed, and by then, it's often too late. However, it's important to take responsibility for our assets and give them the care they deserve. While becoming a millionaire may not be meant for everyone, it's still essential to be mindful of our investments and take steps to protect them. In the end, we can only learn from our mistakes and move forward with a better understanding of the value of our assets. Kia Finance Login

Hello

One day, a few years ago now, I had ~100 bitcoins on Old Usb Key.

I didn't remember having them, as I'd had them at the very beginning. This USB key was lying around in a drawer, as I imagine a lot of people have

I remembered that I had a Bitcoin wallet not long ago and I tried to find my USB key, without success.

This story makes me sad, because if I'd known, I'd have been more careful!

Moral: be careful with your stuff, even if it's old :p

No one expect that bitcoin will go far like this that's why there's a lot of people neglect to protect their asset before that's why some regret their decision to throw out their BTC and some regret because they didn't make sure that their old wallet is safe and they can grab it anytime they want hen they need it.

This is another story of lose bitcoin and a owner counting his possible profit if he can grab his old balance and sell it now.

Hope your story will serve a lesson for current Bitcoin holder that they make sure their wallet is safe and accessible at anytime if they are ready to use it. Hopefully we don't see any missing bitcoins in future and all people who start to hold their bitcoin now will earn a lot of money in future.

No offense, but why is it that every time bitcoin price increases or during bull season, stories of losing bitcoins or missing out on bitcoins increase day by day? This is really strange and even if it were true, would our whining and sadness bring them back to us? For me, the past is the past and let's focus on the present because we have no way to get back what we lost in the past.

Have you started your bitcoin accumulation journey now? Or are you still sitting there lamenting the bitcoins you lost in the past due to your mistakes? If you still don't take action, your future will never get better.

You're just one of the many that have forgotten their private keys and didn't care that much about the Bitcoin that they've held. Just like the guy that had his old harddrive wanting to be dug up on an old sanitary field but that's no luck at all because that has been dumped there for years. Also, another guy that had forgotten his password to his wallet that contains a lot of bitcoins too and IIRC, he's got 2 attempts left or else it will completely gone forever. I think that in the old days, everyone didn't expect that Bitcoin will grow this much so, they didn't protected themselves by having a backup.

If this true I remember the big bang theory show that has an episode related to Bitcoin. They mine Bitcoin many years ago and forgot about it. Their friend that they didn’t invite secretly stored their mine Bitcoin back then to the USB keychain of one his friends that mine it.

The Keychain USB with Bitcoin is always on his pocket until it was accidentally loss before they realized that they have Bitcoin. The hilarious part is the guy who find the USB reformat the USB with Bitcoin and sold it with 20 bucks.

IMHO, it's not strange but the regret is there with these people that they want to share what their experiences are. If this story of OP is just made up, there are actual stories that are for real that have made those early miners or buyers of Bitcoin that held a lot of it lost it forever. But it's true that they can't do anything about it to restore what they've got before but I guess they just want to tell us the lesson that they've learned from these moments that they've got. I think those that have Bitcoin on the early days would have hard time in recovery and probably won't buy again, most of them.

Have you started your bitcoin accumulation journey now? Or are you still sitting there lamenting the bitcoins you lost in the past due to your mistakes? If you still don't take action, your future will never get better.

I agree, nothing will happen if he didn't do action now. But it's just hard to move on with such event in your life that could have been life changing forever. More stories like this might come in the next few days when the earliest people that have trusted Bitcoin and purchased it have it before and then they can't do anything about it anymore as they're gone wholly. But, those that have continued despite of what happened to them and still accumulated and started a new journey are the ones that are brave.

Although the OP mentioned here that Bitcoin was in his wallet a long time ago. But he couldn't recover his bitcoins without care, which he laments today, which he regrets today. So when he put it in the bitcoin wallet maybe the value of bitcoins was very low, but today those bitcoins are worth a lot. So everything should be taken care of to keep yourself calm and have a happy future. Although small for the present but a mountain amount for the future as he lost bitcoins.

I somehow believe in your story as you have registered in this forum since 2013. Meaning, that you have known Bitcoin since then. Compared to other stories where I have doubts that they really do have their holdings, but they just recently have their account on this forum.

I feel sorry for what happened to you, I don't know what happened but maybe this made you hate yourself as 100 Bitcoins is so valuable up to this day. If the same thing happened to me, maybe it will leave a mark, and will regret this for the rest of my life.

It's a really bad experience 100 bitcoins means $7.15M at current prices. Which is no small and normal amount. If you don't keep a backup of these wallets, you will never get them back.  And if no one else can use them, they will be completely lost. Bitcoin is fully decentralized and here the wallet key is the key to everything. If someone loses this key, he will lose his bitcoins for life. There is no other way to get them back other than the key

Where have you been living all this while that you just remembered you've 100 Bitcoin... In a cave?

This person created their account on 2013, if they bought bitcoin before that or got it through other means then it is entirely possible they may have forgotten they got that bitcoin long ago.

However it seems they stored their coins in an USB, which is a bad idea as those devices are known to go bad for no reason, making the recovery of those coins difficult if not impossible, so let this be just another reminder to keep our coins secure and keep several backups as well.

[TrAsHeR]

I think it's impossible to tell you to not feel bad about it, because we are talking about 7,000,000$ dollars. Anyway, you aren't the only one to face this harsh situation. There are some stories on the internet of another early investors who have also lost access to their wallets which were replenished of Bitcoins.

My doubt is, why some early investors were so careless over their coins back then? Didn't they believe Bitcoin have potential to become valuable like we see nowadays? Weren't they faithful adopters who were holding thinking on long term gains? What was their purpose by accumulating Bitcoin if it wasn't to store and keep it safely, then?

of course it's possible, when bitcoin appeared, it wasn't worth anything and so I disregarded it, I remembered it not so long ago when I moved and found some old stuff. sad reality.

I wish I hadn't remembered, today it haunts me.

OP, I don't understand the point of your forum thread. Do you want to just complain? It's all gone. What's the point of complaining? We've heard many horror stories about BTC being lost forever or stolen. Your story doesn't add anything new. I'm sorry for your loss, but we can't do anything to bring back those 100 BTC. You didn't mention when did you lose the USB key. I thought that you've lost 100 BTC today, based on your thread title.
Can you provide any valid evidence that you really had a USB with 100 Bitcoins? Any noob can make a forum post about having lost 100 or 1000 BTC years ago. Some noobs even make such posts to get merit, which is kinda pathetic.

At first I was quite skeptical about OP's story and these stories are nothing new as we have heard hundreds of similar stories. But as some have pointed out, his account was created in 2013 so it can be believed that what he said is true. But I agree with you, what is the purpose of this topic because other than him complaining about losing 100BTC, I don't see anything to discuss.
And if he wants to remind people then I think it's unnecessary because the value of bitcoin is very high these days and people won't be stupid to lose it like early investors like OP. Today's investors check bitcoin prices hourly and check their wallets daily, so losing bitcoin seems impossible. Things have changed a lot since bitcoin became as valuable as it is today.

If this story is real, then you can always look for the opportunity to find back your USB I'm sure there are still ways to find it because you won't lose anything if you still try until now. who knows it could be just in another drawer or in some other container that you forgot to keep there and you still have it but you cannot remember where you put it but it's still in your house. If it's me, I will exert all effort to look for it because it won't be that hard to find it back again rather than complaining and surrendering while I still have the chance to look for it right now.

Even though it happened a few years ago, losing 100 bitcoins is a very big loss.
If you have 100 bitcoins up to now of course you will have a lot of assets and can make you rich. Hopefully you'll find it someday.

When I read your story, at first I doubted what you were saying, but when I looked at your profile, it seems that you are telling the truth, so I'm sorry if I doubted you. If it was hidden in your USB, that means it can still be fixed until now, or it cannot be.

Where do you remember it being placed? at your house? at the office? because if you just misplaced your USB in the two that I mentioned, it's possible that you might still see it. That's why the chances are low because it's been 11 years. But that's a shame. 100 bitcoins—how much is that now? It's around 7.1 million dollars.

[Kelward]

I understand that feeling of vulnerability, when you remember what you should have had and you know that you can't have it, it's something to spoil your day when you remember it. I've had a similar experience of losing my Bitcoin too, mine was that I probably didn't arrange my seed phrase in the right order and the imported wallet keeps telling me I've misspelled a word, i tried different combinations of similar words and it wouldn't open, although the Bitcoin inside can never be compered to what the OP lost. I guess that most new investors that didn't have guidance while creating a wallet will have a sad story to tell, because they wouldn't know the importance of securing they seed phrase.

Correct. Of the many people I have seen losing bitcoin because they forgot their private key both on this forum and on YouTube and other media, they were those who got to know bitcoin when it was still cheap and getting it was also a little easier, starting from faucets, mining, etc. So they didn't think that Bitcoin would be as expensive as it is now, so at that time many of them didn't think that private key security was very important. I would probably be like them if I were in their position, so it's not surprising that if Bitcoin experiences an increase or reaches a new ATH then stories like this will always reappear, maybe because they want to remember their regrets and also make us realize how important it is to protect private keys with safe.

All these stories are lessons for everyone, both true and fictional stories. But the point remains one, protect your private keys like you protect your life.

[Volimack]

It seems very disappointing it seems very unusual to make such a mistake for bitcoin investment. You had to be very careful to keep them. I think you can find the USB key better. As the value of bitcoin is increasing, you will be much better off finding the USB key. Valuable things at work should be kept carefully so that if needed later there is no regret. If you have it at home you can find it.

[peter0425]

I remember the episode in Big Bang Theory in netflix about Leonard,Raj and howard found out that they have bitcoin and looking for their USB with Bitcoin but stuart found it and deleted all the files and sold for some  bucks .

Lesson learn that we must trust and keep safe our precious Bitcoin or else we will regret this forever .

Sorry for your loss mate and hope you have invested more now .
