Hello Smiley

One day, a few years ago now, I had ~100 bitcoins on Old Usb Key.

I didn't remember having them, as I'd had them at the very beginning. This USB key was lying around in a drawer, as I imagine a lot of people have Smiley

I remembered that I had a Bitcoin wallet not long ago and I tried to find my USB key, without success.

This story makes me sad, because if I'd known, I'd have been more careful!

Moral: be careful with your stuff, even if it's old :p
You consider your real life experience as a story, this is why I won't believe your story, but I would like to make some contribution still.

So you can't find the UBS anymore? When was this? Because it makes no sense to have 100 Bitcoin and not aware that Bitcoin hit 69k in 2021, why are you just looking for a way to get your USB now?

Are you really sure that you ever had one? Because it doesn't look like it, your Bitcoin wallet do have a private key or recovery seed, do you not write that down and keep separately? Or you kept this in the same USB drive?

Even as a hardware wallet owner, I still keep my recovery seed far away from my hardware wallet, the keys are more important than the hardware because through the keys is the only way to get access into assets again.
