Last year I lost 0.8 BTC and some other stuff, overall maybe 1.2 BTC worth, when a CeFi platform rugged me. That, along with some state scumbaggery coinciding and making me lose the rest of my savings, turned me into a bitcoiner, i.e. bitcoin only and self-custody only.
I've been working to make it back, and the dip after the FTX helped, but I still haven't recovered. I will make it all back or die trying. I have shitcoined and will pay the price.
An invaluable lesson learned the hard way. Looking back, it's one of the best things that has ever happened to me - because I've been through it and come out the other side, with a pair of adamantium hands, knowing what I need to know, which 99.9% of the world's population doesn't and has yet to go through. As I watch with a smile the demise of the state and everyone fighting for the last sats as the only lifeline.
I remember I looked into this a decent amount and my conclusion was it might be possible, but wouldn't be all that straightforward. Instead I CPU mined $3 of dogecoin. This was December 2013.
Lost so many sats in the early days. Sending sats to an eth wallet by mistake. Mixing up my derivation path when trying to restore a wallet
But recently I got rugged for about 3 BTC in some yield scam. I knew it was a scam but got tricked into trusting. Hard pill to swallow but all is well! Shoot I may even write about how i got swindled. Stackers don’t be like me! HODL!!
Burned a little over a million sats in tx fees when I launched Opreturnbot.com, had a bug where I was converting fee rates incorrectly, causing me to 16x the fee I paid onchain.
I lost 1 mil sats on a website claiming to be able to coinjoin my bitcoin. I think the website was coinjoin.io but I don't remember, it was in early 2020 when I first started to learn about bitcoin.

College -- the leftist fiat script of life was the single greatest cause of my failure to notice what actually mattered.
That and a MacBook Air that didn't have an Ethernet port to connect a GPU to or I would have gotten into bitcoin 4 years earlier.
Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor and you'd be retired dude
