Many years ago, like a pure psychopath, I sent my entire stack without testing first. Then it didn't show up. Then a day later, it still didn't show up. Then the next day, it was still gone & missing. Now keep in mind, this was fairly early in bitcoin's life and we didn't have the easy ways to educate ourselves about it (like pods, books, articles, etc) then that we do now. It was basically only Antonopolous & Mayer. So I didn't understand the technical side of things a whole lot and had no idea where all my bitcoin was. We also didn't have ways to really check the mempool, etc. back then. Well a week later, I had pretty much given up on my bitcoin. I was a bit bummed. It finally came back to my sending address 10 DAYS LATER! I guess I had sent it at 1sat/vb (like I always did) during a time where it just wasn't able to clear. So, yeah, that freaked me out a bit but also spurned me to learn about the technical side of bitcoin.
