Are you retarded? He didn't lose his bitcoin wallet, his funds were stolen.

That's like saying someone should have written down their credit card number, after having it stolen and all the money spent. That number is now associated with an account with $0 in it.

Bitcoins are obviously inferior, and you are mad because it's true. This is obviously a setup, and who keeps all their bitcoins in one wallet? Why would you do that? It's like keeping your credit card and the two backup credit cards all in the same wallet.

The whole point is that a backup would be worthless, as it would be associated with an account with no funds.

And you're correct, the user in question was dumb, and paid for it.

I apologize for the miscommunication. I am not intoxicated, however I am reading every other word or so. We can both agree that the user was a complete moron.

Seriously. It's a brilliant idea saying that it's irreversible and no way to track it.

Do you mean "seeing" instead of "saying"?
