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...
That was a big mistake but at least you learned something from it and as a consequence you got a hardware wallet which are very secure, in my case I have lost some bitcoin over the years, not much but it still bothers me, it happened to me when I was making a backup of a wallet and by accident I safely deleted both the original and the backup, and since that was a wallet that I had created just some minutes prior I had yet to write the seed words on a piece of paper, it was not a lot of money just 50 dollars or something like that, but since then I have changed my habits when backing up my wallets and this has never happened to me again.
