One of the early investors in BTC now has $240 million in his account. This is life in paradise, right? It's not that simple:
Since 2011, he has been trying to remember an important password. This is a fairly common situation: each of us has probably forgotten the password for one of our online accounts at least once. However, this man, Stefan Thomas, a German programmer living in San Francisco, stands out.
He only has two attempts left to recover his password or he will lose $240 million in Bitcoin.
Background:
IN 2011, BY ORDER OF A PROGRAMMER, HE MADE A VIDEO ABOUT BTC, RECEIVING PAYMENT IN COINS.
The video's profit was a modest $14,004 at the time. But with the value of Bitcoin increasing to approximately $34,500 apiece, Stefan's Bitcoin accounts grew to an impressive $241,569,000 (now approximately $200 million).
Seems like a real godsend, doesn't it? Hook? - Stefan can't remember the password to the encrypted disk on which his bitcoins are stored. And an additional complication is that he lost the note on which he wrote down this password. After eight failed attempts to access the disk, it is approaching the point where the device will finally encrypt its contents after 10 failed attempts.
Password problems had a serious impact on Stefan's health, causing insomnia and severe anxiety. Now, as a precaution, he keeps the wallet in a place known only to him.
This is a very sad and difficult situation. What would you do?
