Early 2011 most friends of mine are into cryptosystem and I barely know what it is about, I only hear the name bitcoin and one day a friend of mine said, I should provide N100k to buy bitcoin and I was like what if my money lost and he gave me assurance; no lost as long your wallet is intact and after much pressure I gave him the money, open a wallet for me and hand over everything but I was care free not minding that's a great investment then, one day I lost my device and that's how I lost the seed phase and the wallet. Am imagining if I could have recover my wallet today, I will be a big boy with fat wallet. Do you think another person have access to it?
Lots of people have made similar mistake in the past, they bought bitcoin and they didn't properly secure their bitcoin, some of them didn't properly secure their private key after buying bitcoin, most people didn't know that bitcoin is going to be massive, some people invested in bitcoin after making little profit they decided to sell it off, if lots of people that invested in bitcoin in the past knows that bitcoin will get to this price, most of them will have still be holding bitcoin, and they will have properly secure their private key.
If someone have access to the phone and the person fix the phone, if the person knows about bitcoin, then maybe your bitcoin will have been sold, but if nobody have access to it, then your bitcoin will remain in your wallet.
