This guy has lost 103 bitcoins he mined back in 2011 and then lost his wallet dat file similar to what I have done but wow this guy must be gutted the amount of money he has lost compared to me

His Address 166BuLPWHUjqoqiYp5rGE3B5r5AmqgHpoL Final Balance 103.20832384 BTC

So many people have the same problem and I wonder just how much Bitcoin is stuck not being able to be used Sad

He says "I used to mine Bitcoin back in 2011 and I lost my wallet.dat file (through several stupid moves on my part). It's got approx 103 BTC in it, anyone is welcome to it, I've given up trying."

It says up to 4 million. So that guy who lost his 103 is another statistics. Really just sad though to see someone lost a lot of money because they either don't believed that bitcoin will skyrocketed or they are just plain stupid and not backing up everything and literally throw their money away.

Can you share more about the story though? Is this a new story or an old one because we have seen a lot of people losing their bitcoins. If will be really good if you can give us a link or something.

I'd go crazy if I lose even 5BTC I wonder how those people who lost hundreds of btc is coping up for their losses. We should all learn a lesson or two from these scenarios. No matter how we keep it safe from hackers it is still in our hands how we handle our coins. Losing private keys, necessary files to open our wallet and/or even accidentally throwing out hardware that contains our btc are definitely in our hands. Don't be complacent and think that your coins are safely tucked somewhere in your house especially if someone in your home (wife, children and even your maids!) can have access to it and they have no idea what it contains.
