On the occasion of what a colleague of the local forum said, and that I translate to you:
I mentioned not long ago how a friend of mine lost half a Bitcoin by saving it in a wallet on his cell phone, and since he opened it with his fingerprint, he didn't think it was necessary to copy the seed, not even the wallet's password. Until some update asked him for the password and he is still looking for a way to find it out.
I wanted to ask you if you know of similar cases in recent years.
We all know that in the early years a lot of bitcoins were lost because they were worth pennies, most people didn't even imagine where this could go, there was no HW and things like that. But even though the bitcoin loss rate has been reduced in the last years I am sure there will still be human errors like the one in the quote that will end up with bitcoin loss, which is not bad for the rest because as Satoshi said they are like a donation.
Do you know of similar cases?
It's been a very long time since I came across such news of someone losing access to their bitcoin in such a manner aside from the popular means not which is through hacking of wallet through phising and other vices.
But maybe it's not really something for us to be surprised about if in today's world, a person can still lose access to his bitcoin in such a manner, maybe the person has alot of money which is why he did not take his investment In bitcoin serious or maybe he is naturally lazy..
For only a lazy person would create a bitcoin wallet and not write down the seedphrase of the wallet and it's login password even though it's possible to login with fingerprint which is always a secondary option and only available because of its convenience.
