What you don't know about is indeed bigger than you. Many newbies have one way or the other lost their coins to scammers just because they are naive to it.
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...
Due to my exposure to and familiarity with bitcoin in this community, I don't believe I will ever fall for a crypto scam or reveal my seed phrase to anyone, irrespective of how tempting the offer may seem. Although I have received numerous private messages on Telegram from various users urging me to connect my wallet to their website in exchange for $60 worth of bitcoin, I do decline their offer because I am aware of their intentions if I do so.
