Remembering I bought a few hundred USD of bitcoin in 2012 and drunkenly nuked the wallet I sent it to is one of the worst things that's ever happened to me!

(I spent a lot of time & energy around 2017 doing PK bitwise forensics on my devices & disks to be sure it's gone...it's definitely gone, but that exercise may have turned up some unexpected "spare change" so I wouldn't call it a total loss 😏)

There’s a rubbish tip in Wales with some Bitcoin in it, the guy who’s computer it was is seeking funding to buy the land to search for it 😂

He’ll cut you in for a decent share 😂

I know someone who had a laptop stolen 10 years ago that had a wallet with substantial amount of (apparently still unspent) bitcoin on it. He is convinced the paper backup with the private key still exists, but hasn’t been able to find it yet.

It’s a long story, but it wasn’t kept at his home.

Yep it be like that.

My father called me hysterical once because he found a QR code in their safe & didn't recognize it, they thought they'd found the elusive stash! I knew better, but it still made my heart skip a beat!😅
