Hello friends. Has anyone ever lost bitcoin? I am curious to listen to your stories. My purspose is to educate ourselves of possible scams, or rookie mistakes that we may do, that can lead to our BTC being stolen or lost.

Edit: Back in Feb 2020, I gave my seed phrase to someone on twitter. The convinced me the seed phrase was equal to my address and that they needed it to send me bitcoin. Don't ask me why I was so stupid... I lost approx. 1M sats and I had to start accumulating again. I bought a Trezor and I started reading...

I think that every second crypto enthusiast either stole cryptocurrencies, or they unknowingly gave their key phrases to restore the wallet.

I've had about $600 stolen from my Jaxx wallet for several years. Unfortunately, I didn't know then that it was a scam wallet.
But I don't have a single lost Satoshi, I've already reviewed all my wallets and exchanges for a long time and collected the crypt in one place from everywhere.
I also have a Ledger.
