Lost all of mine in a boating accident unfortunately
I had a node unexpectedly shut down with sats. Over 2 years I knew they were there just needed to work on it.
In short... I recovered my sats.
flushed in toilet
My first time 🥲 . Got some as a gift and years later lost the words. Definitely learned from my mistake tho, never repeating that mistake again. Grateful to make such a mistake as it has helped me earn my own stats, and be able to stack them myself all while learning and growing with the knowledge of Bitcoin.

Wtf 😭
I cyphered my words a few years ago. I remember being 1000% confident that I would never forget the cypher. Recently came back to it. I’ve now COMPLETELY forgotten how to decode the cypher - it is nothing but hot gibberish. I may or may not have had other less convoluted backups in this particular case but it has still be a fairly shocking and important lesson to learn.
I did something similar with the password..
I can't access to my main wallet anymore 😭
Some lessons come at high cost, but fortunately, it was not a big amount..
Bur still, knowing it will probably worth more and more makes me sick
Saw this a couple days ago. It’s very true… 
Yes, by playing around with JoinMarket and not writing down the seed phrase
I lost 1.6M sats to a very early bug in LND related to block reorgs. Sucks, but the bug was fixed due to my sacrifice so there is that.
Lost all my btc to a hacker during a boating accident.
