I Finally Screwed Up With One Of My Wallets... Let This Be A Reminder!

100 sats \ 14 comments \ @Cje95 25 Feb bitcoin_beginners

Ever since I got into crypto I have been incredibly insane when it came to keep track of my wallets. From the passwords to those that had one time codes to most importantly seed phrases I made sure to keep several copies and to have it all organized.

Well I finally screwed up when it came to keeping track of the info and do not have a seed phase for one of my wallets to even attempt to recover it. Luckily this is not something I or anyone else spent money on so it is all just theoretical money that could have been there at the end of the day. Not to mention the project looks and smells like a huge fraud and given how they have rolled it out I would not be surprised.

If you don't have a clue about what I am talking about it would be the hilariously long awaiting "mine on your phone coin" Pi Networks mainnet launch. I mean this thing has been delayed so many times it is hard to count and there has already been issues identified with allocation. Did I have a crazy amount of Pi? No I mean considering the mining stuff has gone on for almost 6 years and I used to only do it when I went to school (I graduated in May of 2020) I had a little over 1,100 Pi.

Another issue even if I had magical access to that Pi is that no CEX (because of course they are not on any DEX's yet) that list it allow U.S. citizens or resident to trade it. Currently (and if we are being frank amazingly) valued at $1.60 a Pi the roughly $1,700 would have been nice and with BTC down would have just gone directly to that.

Unfortunately that is not the case for me but this serves as a great reminder to make sure I have the seed phrases of all my wallets accessible so that this doesnt happen again with something much more precious next time like BTC! I hope it reminds yall as well how important those suckers are! Everyone harps on it and it isnt until you screw up that you realize crap... they were all right!

I must ask, and it's a genuine question, and I hope you're not offended, but WTF are you doing?

Honestly my brother referred me in 2019 when they launched then I honestly forgot about it for a few years. The token though is actually up near its ATH since launch. ATH is $1.70ish and its at $1.60 when ByBit came out and said that it crashed it but whatever Pi Network announced (I havent read it because I dont care I was just trying to get my Pi out and sell it lol) rebounded the whole thing.

I feel like the last two months with Trump and Milei shitcoining might be a turning point. Did those rug pulls affect your opinion of coins other than bitcoin? @grayruby said the other day that he would trade a bear market now to kill all the shitcoins. It might just happen. I hope so.

I wouldnt be that opposed to stacking some sats at a discount! I mean all I was wanting to do with the Pi was take whatever I had previously earned and just flip it into BTC since it was free money and why not use it to get some more BTC ya know?

I never would have gone out and bought Pi if that is what you are thinking! It was just there from years ago and when I was first getting started in the land of what I thought would be real things and turned out to be shit lol. One of those things since I had already done it I might as well see what I have and how I can turn it into what I actually want!

You are wrong... shitcoiners must be offended and shamed. They get what they fucking deserve. They are literally fucked up in their brain.

What we should expect from a gov agent statist and shitcoiner? This is the perfect example of me saying: if you play with shit, you smell like shit.

Pi is kinda a POS it sounds like my 1100 Pi are lost but oh well I wont worry about it. I was amazed it actually launched in the first place tbh.
