Cryptocurrency Investor Loses US $75.000 After Deleting Wrong File
An anonymous Monero (XMR) investor expressed regret on a darknet forum for losing $75.000 while attempting to "clean" their tokens.
They accidentally deleted the seed phrase needed to access their wallet, which held the converted Bitcoin (BTC) into Monero.
The user, with over 10 years of experience, stored the wrong seed phrase, mistakenly deleting the correct one. Devastated, they advised others to backup their backups.
Approximately 535 XMR has been permanently removed from circulation as a result of this error.
