Only option is to tear through trash bags until you recognize some garbage.
>>2031407
you got it and call the garbage company and see if they can tell you where the garbage guy dumped the trash at from your area at in the landfill.
Why the fuck didn't you put it in a folder or book or something?
Why didn't you have more than one copy?
Are you retarded?
This is what you get for being unorganized

mental images:1. A pistol shooting out "sea slush" that's golden.
2. A hopeful artist at a gallery trying to show off her pottery and handing out educational fliers to convince people to be interested.
3. Marina abramovic the "ritual swear artist" who sacrifices baby persons attends a useless tennis match. Makes an obscene gesture but they ignore her.
>>2032376
Hmm I see, thanks for the insight anon
But now I just broke into your crypto wallet

This is 100% your fault

Your Mom's an idiot but you're a bigger idiot.
That said sorry for your loss.... and buy a fucking lock box.
>>2032526
What kind of cuck parents would allow themselves to be locked out of one room of their own house while it was unoccupied?
>>2031370
Why the fuck eould you not take something as valuable as that to college in the first place you idiot
>>2031411
This.
For fuck's sake tell them there's $32,000 worth of money that just got thrown away.
You think they don't want some of that? Or don't, they might not let you in and spend the next month trying to find it.
>>2031370
You're a fucking retard and you deserve it.
>>2031370
This is why you backup your shit
I call bullshit.
Why would you keep $32k worth of coin on a piece of paper.
>>2032564
The kind of parents that let their children live with them past the age of 18.
>>2032637
call it an engagement ring, or password to homework files.
>>2031942
Oops I fell down and hit my head and now I forgot all the words
I have a paper wallet in my room too, but also the address and private key screenshoted in a passworded .zip file on google drive, dummy cuck
Real talk I've spent a lot of time thinking about what to do if I stumble into $50k or whatever worth of crypto.
A safe is a bad idea because the safe can be stolen.
A piece of paper is also a bad idea because it can get thrown out. On the more extreme end of things it could also be destroyed if your house catches fire.
Committing a brain wallet to memory is a good idea but if you get brain damage or go too long without using that memory, you could lose a fuckload of money.
So what the hell can you do? The best I can think of is to encode it in some way you'll never forget the key to, chisel that into a stone slab, and put it in a deposit box at the bank. But then it might get stolen if the bank is ever robbed, or cleaned out by a disgruntled manager, so you'd still need at least one back up.

I don't know what I'd do if my money was wrongfully taken from me like that.

This is why bitcoins are super deflationary. People will lose them, will die with them, will go to prison with them. There will always be bitcoins disappearing without any mechanism to be replaced.
>>2034267
I have copies on paper as well, and I revise the words now and then to make sure I still remember them. It isn't fucking hard, I have several 16-20 character passwords that I've memorized for other important things.
>>2034971
No, it's safer to have multiple back-ups, none of which are accessible from the Internet.
>>2034792
Randomly generated. It's taken less than 20 minutes of my time to complelety memorize it, just leave it near your computer and every now and then pick it up and flash card it, one set of four words at a time.
>>2034904
I didn't get rich by giving out coins. I got rich by shitposting and fapping to waifus.

You could create a program that associates BTC keys to strings of tokens, generate the token string for your key, and then set the lexical value of each token to whatever you want so that your personal string has the words you like. Then you just need to distribute the program online to make sure you always have access to it. It shouldn't be difficult at all if you know Java (which you should use because it will work with all future operating systems).
However, because the association isn't arbitrary, this is less secure.
>>2034971
Cryptocoins on Coinbase aren't FDIC insured. Only your fiat is. And their insurance policy only covers hacking. If they go belly up because they're not paying their bills, your crypto is gone.
>>2035124
Oh, and not to mention if anything forks, Coinbase only gives you the ticker you own. They pocket the forked coin.
