Yesterday I lost 11 BTC from my Bitcoin Core 25.0 wallet. The wallet wasn't open at the time. I don't know how it happened. Lots of emotions right now.
edit to add:
Definitely not my wife. We live in a rural setting. She doesn't have the computer knowledge to even launch the wallet. This was an external hack.
I first noticed when I logged into Koinly and saw my BTC balance was reduced. I then launched Bitcoin Core and it was about a week behind. Showed my 11btc as it updated, then hit the date of the hack and it went to zero. Wallet is encrypted and appears to work fine. PC is turned off now and hard drives will be wiped. This definitely sucks, but not the end of the world. Opportunity for others to learn or be reminded from my mistakes.
Also, the coins have not moved from hacker address. After further investigation this looks to have been caused by a botnet.
edit 2:
All of my addresses in Bitcoin Core are segwit. I can't seem to find a way to create a signed message with segwit and Bitcoin Core. If you don't believe my post that's fine. I'm not looking to gain anything, just want to tell my story so others don't make the mistakes I did.

I am saddened by your loss, dear. Judging from your indifferent description, you should still have a lot of BTC. I am willing to accept your donation of Bitcoin. thanks. bc1q38m0mugkrte8mnaaccawmy6kp8v66x3pesxtktgdgjspx0c00l3qzrjl5m
Re: "Why haven't the earliest participants sold their Bitcoin, and some haven't even
Apologies to be blunt, but I believe the answer falls something along the lines of: "None of your business".
When it's your money, you can wonder about what to do with it. If it's not yours, then what the owner is or isn't doing with it is of no concern to you.

I'm not an OG by any means, but I was up over x60k on my investment in the 2021 bull market and barely sold anything, so I can understand why someone who was up even more decided not to do it.
I know OP might be more interested about people who held bitcoin when it was worth $1, but I know that if we went to $100k somewhere next year, I'd still hold bitcoin.
OP probably comes from a family where owning $100k is a big thing, but not all of us do. Many people live in houses worth 10 or more bitcoin (at current price) and drive cars worth a few coins as well.
The safety that owning an independent asset like bitcoin gives you might be more important to them than some more fiat money in the bank.
One hundred thousand dollars is really a lot for me. I am still worrying about the house. After all, the house is too expensive. It's cool that you can buy a house and a car with a few bitcoins, so that's why the rich get richer. Although I missed the early participation, I also learned new knowledge, so people still have to try to accept new things, such as the current gtp, which is also a product of a new era. Did not expect the post has so many early contact with the big brother to reply to the post, let the little brother know more, thank you thank you!
It's never too late to invest in bitcoin, man. Everything is still very early and there are still many opportunities for us. Furthermore, the financial market has many ways to make money, not everyone who invests early will definitely get rich. Many people who invested early still lost money and only a few became rich. What matters in this market is your knowledge, your knowledge and experience will determine the amount of money you will earn. It doesn't matter how early or late you get in, what matters is how long you stay in the market because the reward usually goes to the last person to stay.
Bitcoin does allow firm holders to achieve financial freedom, is the best return, I am still working hard to make money, only for the down payment of the house, hard work and finally debt bound this life, can only say that their own shortsighted, limited cognition of new things, Nakamoto can come out again to create a bitcoin? I want to buy Bitcoin and change my life

Re: "Why haven't the earliest participants sold their Bitcoin, and some haven't even
hoarding since 2012
my reasons:
dont need the lump money yet(think retirement fund)
i support bitcoin
i see bitcoin has longevity so no need to "get out early"
that said i do take very small % of holdings out for my yearly living expenses. but thats small fry.
if i was to take the hoard. there are tax implications so for now i just enjoy my life, travel the world and when i want to settle in a place of better climate(tax haven) and do my own thing. then ill think about selling it all.. but no time soon. there are decades to go in my bitcoin life

Perhaps this is the best reward for early adopters. It's an enviable life. I learned too late and missed the best time to hoard. Thank you for your answer
Re: "Why haven't the earliest participants sold their Bitcoin, and some haven't even
"Why you create a post after two months and two weeks of your registration date?" obviously you have a reason, while I can only guessing about your reason.
The current Bitcoin price which is $37K might be low for them, as Bitcoin not yet achieved mass adoption, so what's the point to cash out when there's an opportunity to earn more in the future?

Because I came here with a learning mindset, and after understanding it, I feel that Bitcoin has the same value as gold. Those who have it are truly happy

Lol, I think you have dealt with people like franky so much that you forget to snap out of your defensive mode. What if OP is just a curious teenager wondering and trying to learn?When it's your money, you can wonder about what to do with it.

@OP, the answer is : because they are gold hoarding dragons, and they love the sound of coins when they dive into the pools of coins.😉
Bitcoin addresses are like transparent vaults, everybody can see them, if all the bank accounts in the world were the same, you could see the same for millions of people not touching their money, gold etc.
Thank you very much for your answers, Brother DooMAD is right. The people who hold these addresses may all be believers, just like when Nakamoto was founded, life will end at any time, but Bitcoin will always exist. With the private key in mind, I have a learning mindset to understand Bitcoin, and it may be difficult to have it in the future, after all, the price is too high. Although I don't have it, I hope Bitcoin and forums will become better and better. I hope I will have it in the future.Thank you very much for your answers, Brother DooMAD is right.
