Sounds like a great future, goys
Joseph Parker
dont worry if you hadn't lost them you probably would have done some stupid shit like me and sell them way too early for 3x profit ($5 -> $15) instead of $15k
Nolan Reyes
yeah sounds like u should go jump off a building
Jonathan Howard
>acting like majority of the people here don't keep their money on exchanges and when normies fomo in they won't keep it all on coinbase
Jaxson Martinez
At its lowest point in 2013 bitcoin was around ~13$ making your 900 bitcoins worth 11700$ and you took no extra steps to secure them other than a text file in your daily use computer. Seems really legit, LARP or a retard who wouldve lost them some other way anyways
Carson Thomas
yeah, this is the one point that people always forget.
OP you just assumed you would have hodl'ed your stack for half a decade based on nothing. almost everyone out there panics at some point or just says "fuck it, i'll take 500% and be done with this before the bubble bursts."
realistically you lost an upper class car or a kg of gold, because you would probably have sold at any time between 2013 and now and you have to average that.
i honestly feel sorry for you, but do you actually believe you would not have gotten scared at some point and hodl'ed even through the year long sideways movements?
David Morris
I didn't buy it all in 2013. I started mining during 2011 or 2012. Around the time when faggots my age where shuffle dancing was when I started getting into bitcoin.
Kayden Thompson
yo I am a top notch forensic recovery specialist. I can probably help you if you are not larping.
Dominic Gonzalez
if you still have the hard drive.. dont try to recover any files yourself... use a professional service to recover your files.. you could still make it
Luis Wilson
You are aware that there are data recovery services?
If you still have the drive, you might be able to get the wallet files off of the fried drive. Assuming you kept it.
Caleb Kelly
this. There are people like me who do it for the airforce. nothing is lost unless you dumped it in thermite and lit it on fire.
Matthew Cooper
9/10 Threads like these are larp.
Owen Hernandez
I'll buy the hard drive off you right now for a few nano + P&H.
Hudson Baker
You would have had 18mill OP

>Just be your own bank bro.
This is why crypto will fail, people don't want to be their own fucking bank. The wallet seed needs to be a sentence you can actually remember or something, not some random shit you're forced to put on a fucking piece of paper. It's completely ridiculous how it currently works.
Bentley Stewart
If it were a sentence with the same number of words it would be insecure (not enough randomness).
What you should do is take your words and make two to three sentences incorporating them.
Benjamin Hernandez
It could easily be longer if it was a sentence.
Noah Thompson
What you are recognizing is called the Semantic Gap. Many people can't see it until it closes.
One thing that could close that gap is to have an AI assistant recognize you and control your cold store accounts.
Owen Hernandez
>AI assistant recognize you and control your cold store accounts.
Yea I've been thinking about this too but then the AI becomes the weak link. I guess the problem will partly go away on it's own as people will begin to see their crypto wallets as something as important as their bank accounts etc but still the idea of being able to store all your crypto "in your head" sounds like the best user experience to me.

Stop a lil bit with the IA.
It wont save all the retard problems.
If configure it like shit, you will get shitty results.
Take the responsabilities of your action. Always.
And know your bounds, to only do things you can manage.
Grayson Morales
Yes, adversarial attacks are currently hindering all ai research. There is recent research that indicates this is due to overtraining in high dimensional space.

AI is literally the only defense we have from our slow painful deaths. I will not stop, in fact I'm accelerating. I recommend you do too if you are capable. AI needs engineers.
My actions and ambitions will burn to ash along with everyone elses unless AI works.

it wasn't so easy to secure BTC back then at all, and hundreds of $ for $10k isn't that low for a hardware wallet, and they weren't properly tested back then (remember early trezor had a vulnerability by reading output voltages)
it really was a lot harder to store BTC securely on your own. meanwhile, by far the most reliable/widely used 'online wallet' was mt. gox...
holding on to from the early days wasn't super easy if you didn't put some serious effort into it, and most people who held btc didn't think it'd be where it is today. $1b marketcap by 2020 looked like wet dreams even for enthusiasts
Easton Allen
meh. hardware wallets will evolve and fit every need people can possibly have. in addition to being much more independent and secure than most other forms of value storage.

>tell me something, kemosabe. if i custom write a virus, right now, do you think your antivirus program will catch it? why or why not?
find some consolation in the fact that you are not alone, and a lot of people lost a lot more (lost harddrives, mt. gox, silkroad)
put effort into preserving your BTC now and you may be back to where you'd be right now in the not do distant future ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ethan Hill
assuming this is bait, but if not I bet I could recover those files. They're there until they're written over...even if you reformatted the drive, the disk space where your coins were could still be recoverable. it's there until you write over it.
Jose Hernandez
I am glad that at the very least I didn't got fucked as much. I could have made maybe 900 bucks with the amount of litecoin I had back when I trade it all for 2 stupid games because it had a shitty value.
Gavin Young
Did the same. As in, exact same. 300 Btc lost. Fml.
