This story gave me some thoughts.
How all the same falsely demonize BTC users by the media. As if bitcoin is used only by criminals, crooks and just villains. This topic is an example that things are completely different. Btc users are mostly honest and decent people, deserving respect. It is a pity that such cases, which prove the opposite of what the media say, for the most part remain here, within the community, and people simply don't know about such happy endings.
They have portrayed bitcoin in the negative sense from the previous time when it was used in Silk Road but were there not any criminal activities past 2009? It's actually the people who use them and currency is not itself good or bad but how it is being used but the people who still believes Governments and banking houses can easily come across these statements which says btc is bad and other bullshit but those who understands bitcoin at the root levels know it's life saver.Moreover they say it's anonymous but it's pseudo anonymous which means the they can track transactions to some extent unlike Monero but the problem very few cares to listen.Such cases where people get Bitcoin back are not good for any media houses and news channel who only runs after publicity and profits but we as forum members appreciate this kind efforts from theymos and our newbie hero who proves it with his decency human kindness can dilute all the false claims.Happy for @OP as well that he recieved his funds back.
I know how it feel to lose some Bitcoin either by human error or getting scammed as I experienced both and dont want someone to get same feelings.
You have a golden heart man and just recently bumped across this topic and was amazed to see this happening because I have seen or say come across some situations in which the people have enough to enjoy their life and whenever some kind of this human error arises they never return them and said the sender should have been careful before hand.But in the world where there is evil minded people diminishing the negative part of bitcoin you come across as a bright light to endure all the darkness.Best wishes to you man and kind words from you.
