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...

When I was using coinbase for a time someone did hack into my account. From that point on i've never kept anything on an exchange for long periods of time at all, I just get in and get out and accomplish whatever I set out to do exchanging one coin for another or something of the likes of that. I definitely am a lot more careful now after that experience using VPNs and looking for more ways to be more anonymous with my private information.
