Re: Lost around 5BTC in 2013... Time to start again

So back in 2012 / 2013 I was quite involved with the Crypto scene, and invested in a mining rig (good old days!) After around a year or so, I managed to mine LTC, trade BTC etc and had somewhere in the region of 5BTC. As the prices all started to plummet, I turned the rig to a desktop computer and stupidly left all of my coins in Cryptsy. Easily done for someone who understood the basic fundamentals of the Crypto world, but not all of the security to go with it.

I managed to recover about 0.2BTC from old wallets etc, and although kicking myself that I could have a life changing amount of money, I've come to a conclusion that I just need to build a bridge and start again!

My question to you all is have you ever experienced anything like this? How did you find the motivation to start again? And what do you think are the best ways nowadays (as i'm 4 years out of touch) at getting back to that milestone of 1BTC in my wallet?

Thanks,


I guess it's just a matter of time. nothing is too late for that.
I experienced as you told me. but I try to re-engage with bitcoin. I explore knowledge again, day by day. and to date. I can enjoy a bit of the bounty of bitcoin.
Whatever happens happens for some reason. There are no accidents. If a person continues his journey even after this great a loss, that definitely means he has trust in bitcoins and this way he will become the symbol of courage also attracting many others. The motive must be, if I will fall down for seven times, I will stand up for eight times.
That's the spirit, I have loss some already from the fall of value in btc now but don't.feel worried about it for we know that btc can cope up on this crash soon.
