In the world, the cryptocurrency status can be both purchased and losing it very quickly. Unfortunately, the history of the user under the Onnar pseudonym from the platform is rattled with the second case. In his post on a social platform, he shared a story about how he lost access to his 2.6 BTC, that is, about 100 thousand dollars at the current cryptocurrency rate. Onnar made publication to the edification by other owners of Bitcoins, who should be much more closely to coins.
Recall, for safety cryptocurrency, each user answers independently - especially if the coins do not hold on centralized stock exchanges. For high-quality storage of bitcoins, ether and other cryptocurrency, people need to thoroughly hide the LED-phrase, that is, essentially the universal right to access the address in the blockchain, do not move on suspicious links and not to send strangers under any pretext.
If you allow some kind of oversight and lose the LED phrase, the money will be lost forever. Moreover, ask for help from higher authorities will not work, because they are simply not. Due to the features of decentralization, all users of the cryptocurrency network are equal to each other.
How not to keep cryptocurrency
It all started with the acquisition of a new computer, after which Onnar was engaged in copying his cryptococheries. Here is his replica in which it is divided by the details of the loss. Quote brings cointelegraph.
Amateur cryptocurrency wanted to format the hard disk on the old computer with a wallet, as it should have been used in the workplace. He successfully completed the procedure, reinstalled the operating system and took up the recovery of the wallet already on the new computer. Its private keys were encrypted on USB media, and the password for decryption was kept in the password manager, in which Onnar "was 100 percent." The user continues.
That is, in fact, everything has been brought to the fact that the user has not checked the presence of keys, although he was sure that he had. This was the fatal mistake, which cost a lover of bitcoins about 100 thousand dollars.
It is important to note that the equivalent of 100 thousand dollars is relevant for today. Obviously, Bitcoin is unlikely to finish an increase of 40 thousand dollars after such a steep race, which means that in the future this hundred may well turn into, for example, 200 thousand dollars. So, it means that it will be even greater.
Many commentators understood to the difficult situation of Onnar, responding with stories about their own mistakes. For example, the user under NOTMATTDAMON1 said nickname that he lost a much smaller amount in a similar way, "but then another week was angry with himself. Others advised to learn from their sad experience and avoid mistakes in the future. Here is one of the tips.
That is, other fans of the blockchain advise the use of a hardware wallet and a lone-phrase ligament fixed elsewhere. Thus, the user will protect themselves. If the hardware is stolen, thieves will not be able to access it due to ignorance of the password. But if the LED-phrase disappears, then it will be necessary to cut cryptocurrency to another address at its disposal. Read more about the topic of hardware devices in a separate material.
Earlier, we have already written about such squars that cost lovers cryptocurrency of huge money. There are also a lot of stories about human inattention in cryptocurrency trading, which led to the same sad results.
We believe that the situation turned out to be extremely sad. Obviously, the user was familiar with the basics of storage cryptocurrency, because he held private keys in different reliable places. However, as a result, its own inattention and hurry cost him a serious amount. I would like to hope that this cryptocurrency was not the last among the user's stocks, and in the future he can still return this money.
In order not to repeat the errors of all these people, always be extremely attentive when working with digital assets. Well, subscribe to our cryptoat, of course.
