I'm kinda a Bitcoin Noob, however, I hope years from now people will still see 2014 as an "early adopter" phase.

Almost lost about $35 USD worth in a password protected Multibit wallet.  Finally realized I mistakenly had my cap lock key on when I originally typed in my password.

Then, I'm always concerned about losing my 2-factor Authentication phone for an anonymous web wallet only accessed thu Tor, therefore, I try not to keep much online.

So thus far, none for me (knock on wood), but I can easily see how BTC can eventually be carelessly lost in cyber space.  Undecided

The only amount I've lost due to theft is 5000 doge and they weren't even worth that much at the time. As for Bitcoins, over 2 on gambling. But you specifically said stolen or anything similar.

When I first started mining Bitcoin it was in late 2011 - early 2012. I had a brand new ATI HD 6970.

I don't know how much I mined with it, but it was no small amount, and that hard drive was formatted since.

Sadly I ignored Bitcoin from 2012 all the way until late 2013.

Remember Aaron Swartz, a 26 year old computer scientist who died defending the free flow of information.
