This guy has lost 103 bitcoins he mined back in 2011 and then lost his wallet dat file similar to what I have done but wow this guy must be gutted the amount of money he has lost compared to me

His Address 166BuLPWHUjqoqiYp5rGE3B5r5AmqgHpoL Final Balance 103.20832384 BTC

So many people have the same problem and I wonder just how much Bitcoin is stuck not being able to be used Sad

He says "I used to mine Bitcoin back in 2011 and I lost my wallet.dat file (through several stupid moves on my part). It's got approx 103 BTC in it, anyone is welcome to it, I've given up trying."

It says up to 4 million. So that guy who lost his 103 is another statistics. Really just sad though to see someone lost a lot of money because they either don't believed that bitcoin will skyrocketed or they are just plain stupid and not backing up everything and literally throw their money away.

Can you share more about the story though? Is this a new story or an old one because we have seen a lot of people losing their bitcoins. If will be really good if you can give us a link or something.

I think there is way more Bitcoins lost than that tbh. Its a shame there is no way for people with the wallet phasprases to still be able to get access to their old wallets . This sure is a huge problem for a lot of people

That story came from here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14571124

wow this is a big problem for me, because your hard work so far has to go away, 103 btc it is a very big amount in my opinion. even I never thought about getting that much btc. how else do you just need to be more careful in the future.
