8 years of stacking, gone. I think it's time to move on.

I believed in Bitcoin. Holding it gave me peace of mind because my country has faced several FATF sanctions. I was glad to find a kind of money that cannot be censored or debased because I just want to protect myself from the money printing and my country's weak and inflated currency comapred to the dollar.

I’m 39, and I was hoping to have a good financial cushion before 50. But today, my 2 BTC were drained.

Losing my Bitcoin has changed my mindset. It’s no longer about finishing the race first. At this point, I just want to finish it. But losing my BTC feels like I’m back at the starting line. I lost years of hard work and time.

I thought I was secure because Cold Card was always praised as one of the best and most secure wallets. It’s open source, so anyone can verify.

I’m done with Bitcoin. I’m not even sure if I still believe in it. I don’t know what the future holds for it anymore. I could have stayed with traditional investments and lived a normal life. Maybe I should have just moved everything into a Bitcoin ETF when they launched. But I don't know. It's too late to do it.

To everyone who has lost their BTC, I wish you the best and good health. I hope you find the strength to start again.
