This is not a church or a sect that someone preaches here, this is a forum where Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies and some other things are discussed. You may be speaking for yourself, but anyone who understands what Bitcoin actually is has long understood what "not your keys, not your coins" means.

Lolz.
Read in-between the lines and understand what I meant by what I said, the phrase "not practice of what we preach" is more like an idiomatic expression, which simply means, to not do for ourselves, what we advice others to do, am I supposed to even explain what this means to you?
I thought you should know, but anyways, let that be.


I don't need to read between the lines to understand what you are talking about, but if you use some words like "preach" then you are implying that we are doing exactly that here, and Bitcoin is a technological invention, not some religious community where someone preaches anything. In addition, I have already written that such stories are completely pointless considering that Bitcoin does not exist since yesterday and what you wrote has been written countless times, only with the difference that you are building a story around a character who does not seem too convincing with his story.



I think he is a liar.
Or stupid as fuck. If you have only 25 btc and store it the way he did he deserves to lose out for being that stupid.
To not have five coins in five different accounts is an act of arrogance that deserves the punishment he got.
Or he is lying.


It wouldn't be the first time that such things come to people's minds, and then someone sympathizes with them and sends them a nice donation. If something like that happened to me, I certainly wouldn't record a video and post it on social networks, because I wouldn't want people to recognize me on the street as an incompetent fool who lost millions of dollars.

In addition, he may not even be aware that he is harming himself in the long term, because today's employers check their future employees online, and such things do not bring anything positive in the eyes of most employers.
