I was asking for help on the reddit page linked to electrum for help and obviously the help I received led to me losing all my bitcoin.
What I don't understand is what kind of help you needed with the wallet that would make you hand over your keys by entering them in a phishing website?
Your second post is very confusing. Seems like you were waiting for a transaction and somehow you got a message that you are already receiving some coins?! Message by who or what? Electrum isn't going to tell you to wait. A person probably did. I am sorry to say, but you seem to have done many things wrong, and this isn't the fault of Bitcoin or Electrum.
And we still expect to see mass crypto adoption… this is another example that shows us why it is still an unrealistic expectation. Imagine grandpa’s and grandma’s guarding their own private keys.
Grandpas and grandmas have an "expiration date". This technology isn't for them. It's for their children and grandchildren. It's also for those grandpas and grandmas that are capable of acquiring new knowledge.
We can't have mass adoption when the average person has below-average intelligence and is completely unconscious of everything around them that can be a threat to their security. Common sense can prevent many social engineering scams, and that's what this is. It was hacking that lead to the coins being lost. It was OP giving them away. I am not trying to kick a person while they are lying down, but this could have easily been prevented.
