"Banksy" NFT Good Punt or No?, by jp on Feb 16, 2021 22:47:03 GMT 1, With BTC hitting 50k, I’ve been reading horror stories about people who lost BTC during the whole Mt Gox debacle. It’s really sad. People who had nothing, but got in early, each lost thousands of BTC, which today is worth tens of millions of dollars. I know some of us talk about kicking ourselves for selling B prints years ago when they weren’t worth much. I can’t imagine the feeling of having had millions of dollars in BTC, truly life changing money for you and your loved ones, and losing it all because a group hacked/raided the vault. Sorry OP, didn’t mean to hijack your thread; that being said, don’t buy that garbage.

One of the biggest issues with any crypto is losing all your money over night due to theft or fraud. You can get a hardware wallet, but that has it's own drawbacks. What percentage of bitcoin can never be used due to simple lack of access?

The estimate is that 20% of all bitcoin is lost.

I'd say quite confidently that there were a number of us here who had a fair few banksy works in early days that in todays money would be worth over a million plus. Would love to see the pest control COA database with most of the old ebay forum and here being the original owners.
