Cryptocurrencies have become one of the most talked about and growing markets in recent years. The Bitcoin network was first active on January 3, 2009. However, at that time, it was a world where most of the people did not know what it was, and those who knew did not care. At that time, a software developer named Stefan Thomas shot an interesting test video.
Does not remember the password of the digital wallet with 7.002 Bitcoin
Stefan Thomas rolled up his sleeves years ago to shoot a video explaining how cryptocurrency works. He asked his followers to send 1 Bitcoin when Bitcoin was at the $5 level. 7,002 people sent 1 Bitcoin each to Thomas’ digital wallet.
However, Thomas does not remember the password to the digital wallet, which is currently worth more than $232 million. The developer tried 8 passwords before to access the wallet with 7,002 Bitcoins, but was unsuccessful. Thomas has 2 chances to reach the wallet. If those don’t get lucky, the wallet will assign itself a random password and possibly remain inaccessible.
What would your gain/loss be if you bought 10 thousand lira worth of Bitcoin a year ago?
Many people see cryptocurrencies as an investment tool. If you had bought Bitcoin 1 year ago, how much would you have now?
Especially when cryptocurrencies were worthless, many people bought Bitcoin to try. He then forgot the password of his digital wallet. It is thought that about 20 percent of Bitcoins are lost due to such events. However, such a loss is not the first time.
By accident while working in his office in 2013 8 thousand Bitcoins James Howells, who threw away the hard drive that contained it, has been looking for this drive for years. The name, which comes to the fore with search efforts from time to time, is still working to find the hard disk.
