Chris was your average guyâa bit tech-savvy but not too deep into the crypto world. One day, his friend Mike, who was always talking about Bitcoin, convinced him to buy a few. Chris shrugged and threw $100 at it, receiving 5 Bitcoin in return. This was back in 2011 when no one really knew if Bitcoin was going to be worth anything.
Time passed, and Chris forgot about his Bitcoin. The wallet was sitting on an old laptop that he hadnât touched in years. One day, in 2020, during a conversation at a barbecue, someone mentioned how much Bitcoin was worth now. Chris laughed and said, âOh yeah, I bought some ages ago. What is it, like $500 now?â
When his friend told him the current priceâ$60,000âChris choked on his drink. â$60,000?! I think I have some of that stuff!â
Excited, Chris ran home, opened his closet, and dug out the old laptop. It was slow, covered in dust, and looked like it had been through a war. He plugged it in, crossed his fingers, and waited for it to boot up. It took about 15 minutes, but finally, the login screen appeared.
But there was one problem: Chris couldnât remember the password.
âNo problem,â he thought. âIâll just use that old trickââpassword123â or âChrisRocks.ââ He tried every combination he could think of. No luck.
For the next two weeks, Chris became obsessed. He tried hundreds of passwords: old pet names, favorite bands, random numbers. He even started having dreams where he cracked the password and unlocked millions of dollars. But every time, he woke up still locked out.
In desperation, Chris called Mike, who said, âHey man, maybe you should hire one of those âpassword recovery guys.â I heard theyâre good.â
So, Chris hired a professional. For weeks, the expert worked on the laptop, running programs and attempting to brute-force his way in. One day, Chris got the call.
âGood news!â the expert said. âWe cracked it!â
Chris jumped in excitement. âIâm rich! Iâm rich!â
But then the expert paused. âWell⊠not exactly. Turns out, after all that work, you only had one Bitcoin left. Looks like you spent the rest back in 2012 on⊠a video game and a pizza.â
Chris facepalmed. âYou mean I could have been a millionaire, but I traded my future fortune for a pizza?!â
From then on, every time Bitcoin made headlines, Chris would sigh, shake his head, and say, âThat was one expensive pizzaâŠâ
Hope this one gave you a laugh! Let me know if youâd like more.
