I suspect few people in the world have interacted with more individuals who lost bitcoin than I have.
I answered support tickets for a non-custodial web wallet that, at the time, was the most popular...
Reminds me of my own lost coins. Mine is a Bitcoin core wallet that I encrypted and can't remember the password to back in 2013. Taught me a hell of a lesson about backup practices. I kept all the subsequent coins on Coinbase until 2022 when I did a deep dive into learning.
There other benefit of that forced HODL is seeing over that time how well that original investment did.
Gave me the conviction I have now to keep stacking and never stop.
Glad you were able to reclaim what you lost. While losing coins is sad, people CAN turn it to a silver lining.
