I followed "don't invest more than you can afford to lose". And that was all my money, that I could afford to lose. I can't put any more money into crypto.
I'm not sad. I'm not even crushed. I'm like really pissed off. I didn't get infected by some virus. I didn't felt for some scam. I followed all the rules. And I got fucked by some random "corrupted file" thing.
Since I can't afford put any more money into crypto, I'm probably going to watch all of you getting rich. While I'm going to be poor for the rest of my life. Because of "corrupted file".

Anyway, I have new wallets. Obviously with 0 balance.

If anybody feels like it, you can send me something. So at least I can watch some rates. And have some hope, that I will at least half way to lambo land.
Fuck. My. Life.

Anyway, I was reading about encrypted files. And it turned out, that there's a many ways, how you can end up in corrupted worthless file.
Eg if you have opened that file and your PC crashes, you willmost likely end up with corrupted file.
So if anybody here is also using some kind of encryption, one windows death screen is between you and your coins... .

This is why theres no way in hell crypto would ever go mainstream
Nolan Rodriguez
that's why you should never rely on electronics. write down the private keys or get yourself an encrypted paperwallet
Tyler Gonzalez
It could. If crypto would be only back-end.
And everybody would be providing services on the front-end, like banks. So people wouldn't deal with blochchain directly. Your money could be insured and protected by them.
