Have you ever made a mistake that resulted in the total or partial loss of your crypto assets?
Personally, like many people at the time, I stored my secret key in a file on my PC... which I accidentally deleted. I lost everything.  Grin Grin

Have you had other similar experiences?

It would be nice to share our experiences to prevent others from falling into the same traps.  Wink

I have a similar kind of incident I made a metamask wallet and the browser got updated and my extension got updated as well, but it required the key and I forgot to get the key to my address, but fortunately I learn something new that day and recover the key using the master key which I fortunately had somewhere saved.

So the experience can be really bad especially if we held a lot of funds and it got deleted and now there is no way to recover, this is really bad for anyone, losing their money just by a small mistake, that's why most of the people hold their funds on centralized exchanges because they are not responsible with such data.
