Stefan Thomas, an early developer of Bitcoin, knew that it was essential to routinely backup his wallet.dat file for data recovery purposes. Thus, he made three copies of his private keys – on an encrypted USB stick, a virtual machine and a Dropbox account. Unfortunately, Stefan has managed to lose all of them, and now his ability to recover his 7,000 bitcoins (around $125,000 at that time) is zero – the money is lost forever. Great freedom supposes great responsibility.

Good lord. Perfect definition of disaster.
