Re: "you never bother to read the responses."

I disagree.

I always read the responses. Some of them several times.

So far, I still have no idea how I get my stolen Bitcoin back, or even how I prove it is my Bitcoin.

If you howl “blockchain” at the moon your bitcoin will appear again....

Science!

Lol.

I am no Crypto expert, but a blockchain is a ledger that records every transaction of the Bitcoin. It's distributed, meaning, it's not in one place. So, allegedly, if someone stole your Bitcoin, there is a permanent record of it leaving your possession, and entering there.

People also use what's called a wallet, it's a digital way to lock up your Bitcoin, and only access it with your credentials.

There is an infamous case of a man in Wales, whose girlfriend threw his Bitcoin out. He's been trying for about a decade to retrieve it. But presumably, it's not stolen, it's just moldering at the dump.

Maybe another Freeper can explain it better.

I have no idea what OpenSea is, but I’ve heard of it.

Very simple. If are not using an account like coinbase, then it's your private key and your bitcoin and cannot be "stolen".
