"Yikes- lost my metamask seed phrase."
"I had nearly 200ETH that I held from 2018- I wrote down in my notes. I kept the notes in the jewelry cabinet- someone broke in last night and took everything in the whole cabinet. Stupid me of not keeping the phrases extra. Yikes. The jewels are covered by our insurance but not my coins lllloooollll. Just thought to share to enlighten your days. Life moves on- my wife doesn’t know so this will be my own pain. Fak."
"Uh i just joined to post this guys lol. You guy can call BS or not but its true and it happened. If it makes you feel better I am def not calm. How do I get the ETH address when I can’t login? Serious question here."
