My first nightmare with bitcoin!

[cuddaloreappu]

yesterday I read some stories about wallet theft went to sleep as usual..

I was driving my car in dark on an highway, and my mobile vibrates, and I think it was someone sending a message but it's a notification from wallet..I pull my car over service lane and review the transactions... all my bitcoins gone with a small message in block chain "it's over"...

I drive really rash and insane to hurry home to see what happened, and I hit my vehicle on something... at this point I screamed and woke up..

my dad came to me and asked what happened.. I felt silly to tell that I screamed for bitcoin hack in dream.. instead I said I had some ghost nightmare since I played skyrim late night for sometime..

I went back to sleep, it was totally silent midnight, I checked my wallet balance and nothing happened, it was safe and calm like the soft drizzling night...

PEACE.... GOD PROTECT MY WALLET...
the prayer is all that I could do...

Wow! You must really worry about your bitcoins being stolen. And that small message "it's over" is really creepy. I've never actually screamed out loud from a dream before but I have been startled a few times and I jumped in my bed.

Do you frequently check you balance through mobile phone in case to be stolen by hackers? You need to take some measures to protect you btc to make you comfortable with your balance. I don't know how many of btc you have got! suggest you put the most of your btc in cold wallet and put a small amount of btc in you hot wallet in case you can spend it.

I am still recovering from yesterday's dream.. I wish to write stories about bitcoin, I am writing 2 at the moment... but this incident has given a new opportunity...

an horror story... somebody combinations of private keys are actually the codes to a portal to hell.. and randomly those who possess such private keys will suffer from nightmares and eventually die mysteriously after 666 hours they possess the private key

Now that story sound awesome. It's a short story, right? I would definitely read it if I could. Any ETA for the release?

You must really worry with your BTC

If you use online, use 2FA & double password 
If you use desktop, secure your wallet.dat with password & trusted internet protection.

i have already do 2 mistake to think that i have lost a few BTC ... but no.
after recovery from backup, all BTC is right here.

backup is only a choice ... not a knowledge.

I have had similar dreams myself, fortunately I don't own much
It goes with the territory of assuming direct responsibility for one's financial destiny
An acquired skill

Buy a Trezor.

I do recall a nightmare where I was looking at the chart and a big red candle formed. Interestingly, it was a day before one of the big dips.  
Still looking at too many charts though!

The most secure way is to sell your bitcoin or limit your bitcoin holdings...

A backup(geo redundant) and a strong pass-phrase is worth more than a thousand prayers

I think your nightmare and concerns are valid. Hacking is so common these days, I am never sure whether my computer is malware-free, someone getting hold of my wallet backups or has stumbled upon my keys by pure luck. I know that is the "risk" I have to live with when you work with bitcoin.

[cuddaloreappu]

if il be like you  i just change my bitcoin to real money .

lol

[mamarried]

be your own bank! and have nightmares of losing it all with no chance of getting it back.

[smashingpumpkin]

Yes well if you have over 3000USD in btc i think this is when you start being very protective i mean 3000 is 6 months worth of hard work in some countries so they would love this as a present

[chronicsky]

i don't it's scary or creepy about the part "it's over"
man! am gonna protect my BTC more carefully now

[Hiraga]

From now on call the coins in your dreams BEDCOINS then you remember it's a dream and your real coins are safe

If you have big amount of Bitcoin it's better that you separate this in many small amounts and put in different E wallets.
Use additional security and if still unsure withdraw this money.
