== About Bitcoin & Crypto DeFi Wallet ==
"That sucks bro, my BTC wallet was hacked about 2 years ago and I lost around 2 BTC and I felt [really bad] for a very long time but I made it all back, my only advice is keep your head up, there'll be brighter days."

"On paper at home bro, I also had a screenshot of it saved in my phone but could've someone hacked my phone and stole pictures? I don't know"

"That was entirely my fault, I saved my seed phrase in my email and my email was hacked"

"It wasn't that much, I bought some BTC when it was at around 4k and I got hacked right before it pumped to 20k"

"My Bitcoin was hacked and I just lost around 1.6BTC"

"Turns out my email was hacked (hotmail) and I had the phrase saved there also..you were right

I can't believe this, my email was protected with my phone number so I'm not sure how the hacker was able to access it."
