As the J Geils Band said “Love Stinks” and sometimes it can cost you the potential for a lot of money.
There was a post recently on Steemit by user “Store” in which he details how he lost 2,000 Bitcoins and the potential for $1.8 million at the peak of Bitcoin’s run. I know who Store is in the domaining community, and if he wants to leave a comment here that’s great, but I will not reveal his name.
From the article:
How To Lose 2000 BTC.
I don’t suggest you do this, but then again your opportunity to do this has also passed. I came across BTC in early 2011 on a hackers website. They were accepting donations in BTC, so I searched and found a BTC wallet service that just so happened to be giving away 2000 free BTC to sign up with their service.
I joined, and was promptly rewarded with 2000 BTC; which at the time couldn’t buy anything whatsoever. It was satisfying seeing these little digital nuggets appear in front of me, they were mine and I was their owner.
So how did I lose my precious new trinkets? The problem lies where most people find loss; relationships and love.
You see, when I found BTC I was using my ex-girlfriends computer. I often used her computer because I was searching the dark parts of the internet for information and could wipe it easily without the loss of anything important if infected with a virus. After all, she only used her computer to watch bad movies from the 80’s – 90’s on Netflix. It was 2011… that’s all Netflix had that was available!
By 2012 we were long broken up, and that BTC installation was long forgotten.
