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...

Wow... Shit happens. Some of us here have our own sad story about our bitcoin or crypto journey but I would say this is the height of them all and it doesn't really matter the amount of bitcoin involved. But OP haven't you heard never to share or disclose your seed phrase or private keys to anyone? What possible lies could the scammer had sold to you to make you send your seed phrase? Well... Sorry for your loss and It's a pity you learnt the hard way. Your story is indeed an eye opener for other newbies to learn from.

many scammers make their mode to scam people like OP. being perhaps not very experienced, he was easily influenced by giving him the seed of his wallet. it was a valuable experience for him, as well as a difficult experience. but now he must have learned a valuable lesson and one he will not repeat. Likewise with anyone who reads his story, now everyone is getting a lesson.
