A San Francisco based computer programmer Stefan Thomas has forgot the password to his account of bitcoin wallet that is worth $240m (£175m) fortune. Stefan Thomas got 7002 bitcoins a decade ago for making a video on how cryptocurrency works. A coin that was $2-$6 each that time is worth around $34000 each, making his walled valued at $240m.
German born Thomas has already enter 8 passwords and left with two attempts to unlock it. Two more wrong passwords will encrypt his hard drive, which contains private keys to bitcoin - and fortune will be lost forever.
What would you do in this case?? Comments please.
