Maybe as a newbie before years ago many have experienced of being a victim of HYIP and that's the first ever lost of bitcoin that anyone can. It's different now because scammers are making it look like that they're hackers through direct asking for someone's seed.

Good on you, we learn from our mistakes and that's why it's important to be aware of these details whether they're just small or big information that can save lives, yes, life savings and crypto assets.

I don't think I've ever lost any significant amount of Bitcoin. From the start, I've made an effort to avoid scams by educating myself on the various types of scams and hacks that exist. Before getting involved with Bitcoin, it's important to educate oneself on the topic. Otherwise, one could end up like you, who lost access to their Bitcoin due to a compromised seed phrase or private keys. However, you've learned a valuable lesson about the potential risks of scams. I hope that no one else falls victim to these scammers or hackers.

Bitcoin doubler for me when I was still inexperienced, way back in 2017. I thought that I can double it right away, the scam was good, they give me my first payout and so I reinvest it again, roll my bitcoin on that site. Then suddenly it goes offline and when I search about it, maybe have been bitching that they have lost big amount. Luckily for me, it's just small as I just want to test that scheme or shall I shall now "scam".

As for the seed phrase or private key, no I haven't go to that extend to give someone that information because right away I knew that it is very important to us. It's good that we have learn this kind of lessons when we are a newbie, it's a wake up call to us to really be vigilant and learn safety practices before hand as not to fall for this trick again.

It is sad when it comes to the fact that they have lost Bitcoin or something like that,because it is something that is impossible to recover, but it is also beneficial because the more bitcoin they have lost and without access, the more valuable it is Placed, it is something that they like even though someone did not do very well,that is something that is noticeable in the market, it is as if they had access again and they sell a large amount of bitcoin because it makes the price go down, and what they want is for the bitcoin to go up ,and I'm happy when bitcoin goes up.

There are hundreds like you who were victim for such scam. Especially to newbies in this space who doesn't know how important your wallet seed. That's why people needs to read first. When you're getting your seed or opening any wallet, there is a warning that you should not share those words to anyone. But unfortunately, people still get fooled.

Fortunately, i never experienced losing bitcoin on such scam for sharing information etc. I was scammed when lending twice for a "friend" here, that was years ago. Afyer that never ever tried again lending and having a trust issue when it comes to lending money to anyone even irl.

You made a bad mistake and lost 1M sats or 0.01 BTC, a big lesson.

Sometimes I don't know how people can be scammed in bank transfer. They only need to give their bank account ID for person who has a transfer deal with them. They gave more information by request like account password. Does it smell wrong at beginning?

If you want to send me a letter, what do you need? It is my house address and it's all you need. You don't need my house lock ID or key to get in my house.

Same with Bitcoin, you need to give them a public address, not your private key, not your mnemonic seed.

And trading in Twitter messages, it's bad practice. Twitter does not protect user privacy. You trade on Twitter in personal message but not private message.

If we are talking about this now we would really say that it is stupid move and why the hel you give to them ? Its because we learned a lot right now and before we are just clueless on those seed phrase and for sure we think that we can get it back lol. It was really funny before like you used to invest to ponzi and lost your investment (i dont call it investment right now) . The only dumb thing that ive done that lost my bitcoin is those pyramiding scam or HYIP which pretty common before and we got easily baited on it

Stay away from any custodial crypto wallet

Years ago I lost a huge amount of Bitcoin to Xapo wallet and FreeWallet, these two companies require email and a password to log in, I don't know the difference between a wallet that asks for log in and another that gives you private keys or recovery seed, at the time I preferred Xapo and Freewallet, because you don't need to write anything down, just straight log in using my email address.

A few months later they denied my account, I couldn't log into my FreeWallet account and when I asked from the support they claim the error is from my end and I reset my password, maybe it was really from my end, I said, but after I successfully reset the password and log in the account was empty.

Till today I can't log into my xapo wallet either and the support team are not helping at all, I've sent them emails but they don't reply back, I just decided to leave them and move on with my life, I read many complains online about Freewallet and Xapo wallet, that's when I knew I was not the only one, these two companies are scam.

It's really sad that even after hard earned money, there is no end to the misery if you have to face such a danger.  As a newbie I would like to suggest you what maintenance can be done to avoid such danger
