i've seen this dude's name mentioned recently a lot and i don't get why people have been talking about him when his actions are the common mistakes that a lot of newbies have been making and nobody talked about any of them. basically that is most of the topics created in tech support board!
not to mention that he NEVER owned any bitcoins because when you don't have your private keys and all you have is an "account" on a "server" then you don't own any bitcoins even if that "server" is blockchain.com and it lets you have your keys.

I agree that there's nothing interesting about the mistake, and it sounds very typical. I don't think that's why people talk about it. They talk because he's Peter Schliff, he's famous for criticizing Bitcoin, praising gold and being a person that got rich via old methods, so he does not value Bitcoin.
Judging by the news, Schliff might have planned his initial statement as an attack on Bitcoin but was forced to say what happened and that it's not BTC's fault, because the media make him look bad.

The media dont make him bad. More people are angry with him because as what you have said he is against with the bitcoin and he really loves criticizing bitcoin thats why he spread a news about lost bitcoins for fame and popularity and also to discourage people in joing crypto world but his plans became unsuccessful.
