Guys lose more than that every day when their wives ass-launch them out of their families. A divorce can destroy destroy a man's financial life far worse than losing 136 thousand.
true but that doesnt help him right now (here another one to loose 130k not with bitcoin)
Well everyone gets half
Easy to lose a lot more than this in manipulated precious metals markets. I know.....life goes on. No suicidal thoughts because the realization is that your life is worth billions of times more than the money.

well said
Bitcoin quadripled since you made this video
ouch
6.2k today
@@latinsizer 1 dollar soon...
It doesn't matter anymore, i don't want to wait 10 years for bitcoin to hit $100000 dollars or so.
Teodor The Entertainer so you never invest better if you cant wait. 10years for that would be fucking awesome
291 BTC mmm Bitclub mmm ok i always send 0.01 before i send big amount like 2 BTC then you know that everything is going to be ok with your mony
+Erik van velzen Yes, actually I've done a small test transaction before a bigger one. Good idea!
but yes it isn't what i expected a miners fee !! what the Fack 300 Bitcoin???
Good advice. I always do this as well to be sure it goes through...
vbnmvbn
I bet that transaction went through fast
Well now the guy lost more like $660,500.00 dollars. I bet this time next year that figure is over $1,000,000.00.
not next year...it's already at 1.6million
2.4 millions by now
nappiral that hurts to even read lol
sick
a bit more now ....
Question Please, I received coin to my Coinbase account, took approx 5 days to get confirmed, but once confirmed... the funds were not there. Do you know how I can find out where my funds are and why it's not showing up in my account? Merry Christmas
Great Video thanks for sharing
That made my day-this case is Bitcoin comunity integrity selabration!
About 1M USD now.
Jay Lawson 5 million* xD
just started plotting my 3TB hardrive with a plot XD
This is when you fall onto the floor and curl up in a ball.
one guy lost 4 million dollars in bitcoins
UK man tries to retrieve $7.5 million in bitcoins from dump - James Howells' digital currency was worth almost nothing when he got it in 2009. Now his 7,500 bitcoins are on a hard drive buried in a landfill. READ IT HERE: www.cnet.com/news/uk-man-tries-to-retrieve-7-5-million-in-bitcoins-from-dump/
Jonteri one guy on BBC lost £60,000,000 by chucking the hard drive in the bin
Bitcoin*
Happy to hear the 291 loser will most likely get his btc back. This stuff can be very scary. I still got my xrp on an Exchange - got to get them out of there post haste. Gonna use Ledger Nano I think; but now there's a Ledger Nano S - is that an improvement? Will make a decision by tomorrow. Any advice will be very much appreciated. Lol. Great video, btw.
Wish I had 291 coins today...
One year later. I feel bad Time of his comment $671,054.73
time as of now, in the ballpark of $800,000
2.4 million now
5 million now
I bought 5 bitcoins in 2013 when they were about $40 each , after i received them , a day later my computer crashed . I was a novice and didn't back up my wallet . Is there any way to recover them ? I still have the computer and its working.
Possibly! What did you do after the crash? Restore or Re Install Windows? Did any of your files survive or was it wiped?
The c drive failed so got a new 1 installed , the guy that replaced it was able to save some of the data off the failed drive. I've found my bitcoin folder and install in the data he saved. This has my wallet ID and I've found the wallet.dat , is there any way this can find the bitcoins i had?
In that case you should be able to re-sync the Bitcoin-qt wallet program and access your Bitcoin. I think the log files may show your Bitcoin address or transaction history and with your address use the explorer to confirm balance.
I managed to get them back , downloaded bitcoin core and it linked up with the older files from my lost wallet .
Awesome. Great to hear that you managed to recover them. You must be very pleased.
now 291 thousand worth of bitcoins......
its July 20 2017 and the loss is now close to $815,000.00
Maybe it was super creative mixing and the sender was the pool operator.
To make things even worst: today this 291 BTC are worth 822.000 USD... holy crap!
Over 3 million dollars now
whaat...how do you get so much money...
All coins sell the same purpose at the end. But real promising coins for profit and for wealth are: Menerium and Fastcoin
So that person has not lost 291 BTC. Why such a negative headline? This is actually a positive story showing the honesty of Bitpool. I know people in the Fiat system that have transferred £'s to the wrong account and/or amount and received nothing back. Most people will only see the headline and not watch the video (reinforcing their negative opinion on BTC).
These kind of problems are going to prevent cryptocurrencies from becoming popular.
Yes, just like the possibility of accidentally losing your wallet at the park is going to prevent CASH from becoming popular.
Joshua Huntington No-one carries $136,000 in their wallet.
With one of the popular Android wallets it's actually really clear how much you pay in transaction fees. Not only in Satoshis but also converted to USD. The only thing you can do wrong is selecting 0 sat/Byte and confirm the transaction despite the warning. But ignoring warnings isn't a good thing in general.
TOMinPDX You dont need to drop your wallet. You dont need to be scammed. If i had 100k in bitcoin, i’d be extremely careful.
now 291 btc x $2400 = $ 698.400,-
I’m watching this video on November 26, 2017 and the current bit coin price is $9300 a coin so in today’s money he lost $1.8 million worth of bit coin
oops my bad I mean 2.7 million
1,339,289.67 USD today at 4602.37 US Dollar per bitcoin.
Over 3 million USD today. Can't even imagine. Then again I was about to buy bitcoin when I had heard about it back in 2013 for $200 each. Never pulled the trigger. I am invested now though.
Welcome to August 2017
Welcome to December 2017
it's now worth nearly 200k
Awesome that they tried to return the coins to rightful owners. Awesome community.
He lost 2 million now
Now it's more like $5.5 Million dollars he lost.
His face will just be more sad now when it was on its peak - at 20K USD each
Now over 1million
wow that was nice of the bitcoin club to try to find the person. thanks for the info. I am new to the bitcoin world but it seem like a easy way to tranfer money but it is kind of risky if you don't know what you are doing.
Over $3,000,000 now.
Just North of 3 million today! Holy shit you'd feel sick af.
that is now $ 2 300 000.00
or 1.7 million USD now
That was then, look at btc market price today/now. at $4,100USD = 1BTC!!! So today that is a major $1,194,000 MILLION. at 10 fold increase. Dang!!!
I've got this video on X2 and it's still way too slow.
Here are some key principles I put together from all the research I've done in the field of Crypto currencies that may potentially save someone of all their coins one day or make you a bucket load The 15 Crypto-Commandments: 1. Don’t risk what you’re not willing to lose! 2. When pig’s fly, go with it. If you think a coin isn’t meant to boom and it does, don’t act dumbfounded, but be willing to jump on the bandwagon. You should be in this to make money. 3. Security first! Crypto theft happens on the reg. Cold wallets are great. Consider also buying buying a laptop/ pc purely for Crypto only. 4. Don’t use the same passwords that you use for social media! Also keep them somewhere safe and hold on to them for dear life. 5. Avoid sharing your secret information over social media. Scammers have been known to hack Facebook accounts and can masquerade to be your friend, using your previous chat conversations to mimic the way you talk then ask for your details with some cool sounding idea i.e. “dude I can double your money overnight.” 6. Use common sense and if something seems to good to be true, it usually is. 7. When sending your coins, double check that you are sending it to the correct address. Hackers are smart and have developed malware that can change your CTRL-V commands so you may unknowingly send coins to their address, instead of your own. 8. Avoid using third parties. The Crypto space is about YOU being your own bank. 9. Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket! 10. Do your due diligence and don’t buy into hype. It’s EASY to get burned! Don't be another sad story. 11. Don’t think with emotions and don’t get emotionally attached to one coin! Maintain patience and remember HODL. 12. But also know when to eject. It’s not profit until you’ve cashed out! 13. The Crypto space is huge! Don’t expect to know everything but work at minimizing your ignorance and monetizing on what you do know. 14. Be cautious with exchanges and avoid holding your coins in them for extended periods of time. They have have been hacked in the past and people have lost big time. (Research MT GOX and BITFINEX hack) 15. Know your transfer points for quick and secure transfers (in-case of a worst case scenario) like you’re wallet/s being compromised. It would be soul crushing to sit on the sidelines having your wallets get drained while being powerless to do anything about it. Failing to prep is prepping to fail!
now lost over 1,250,000 dollars.
I am not sure this is any different to the situation when a bank accidentally deposits money into your account. Legally you have to give it back - plenty of people have been prosecuted when trying to use money that was accidentally given to them. Yes I know that bitcoin is totally different and the logistics of actually getting the money back are totally different but surely the same legal principals apply here?
$400,000 plus on today's market
1.74 Million today ... sorry for you man
Hmm, this was a stupid mistake, however 99% of those, who lost their coins is by losing/forgot their wallet: This happened to me. Damage for me was only 21 BTC however at peek times end 2013 (and even crash afterwards) value you would NOT like to see disappear in a "black hole". I never cried, but accepted the risk (and the reason why I lost was because using Windows, and not safe local profile and thought it was on a spare partition, that was not where the wallet was :( ) Now I'm on Linux, make multiple backups and test them. Instead of Bitcoin, invest in Ethereum. This works well for now. This whole cryptocurrency-world is young, but makes sense and will be the future. Thats why I put my (savings) money into it and not banks (interest lower then inflation??) or regular stock exchanges (high fees, no control).
Is possible that this was an attack to the network, try to make the miners collapse trying to mine that block, always send an small amount first to make a test, and for very large amounts just divide it in small amounts
+Javier Hernandez (JavierPro) ...why would that collapse anything? It's just a fee.
now worth 814K .......
I made 100k from Bitcoin. Seemed easy
lets start with a ty for this caution bitcoin has bought out in me a greed i never knew i had (not) whereas i feel very sorry for this guys loss there is part of me (the broke part )that says the bitcoin god or kama got somebody with that much to lose i now must clense my self with the though it was no tMe and Bitclub seem like nice people..oh and i am a newbie 2weeks in
So how are doing 8 months later? Have you made a lot of money
I bought 1000 BTC when a friend introduced me to the idea of crypto back in '10 when bitcoin was new. I had no idea what it really was and I didn't get it. It wasn't worth really anything (~$100) so I wrote it off and lost or threw away my paper wallet. Yeah...
omfg 2.4 milions
1,5 year later he actually lost 1,638,621$ Pobrescito!!!
Well now he lost $5,200,000.......damn
More like $1.4M now.
You mean to say 5 Million ...
Let's count again : today (2017.11.18) 291 BTC =2253105.33 US Dollar. Will see again after on year :)))
about 800k today
I'm impressed with bitclub pool for trying to do the right thing and hope it works out for this individual. Maybe the technology will evolve to include safeguards. Like, why should any wallet software ever allow inputing 200+ BTC as a fee? That's a bug and should have a reasonable limit simply to protect folks. Unless it turns out to a purposeful act to donate BTC to some miners ;-)
5.8million ath.... Wow, i hope (s)he got it back. That's suicidal territory.

Shab Bankjes how did you lose 5 btc?
Steve Berumen I've been hacked by phishing email of "poloniex" where I have an account
Shab Bankjes any tips on how to prevent getting hacked? All my coins are in Coinbase atm
Use phone verification and google autheticator app. Look at the settings on coinbase you will find how you can secure it more. But overall coinbase is a secure app
