Imagine owning a fortune of over 800 million dollars but being completely unable to access it.

- This is the tragedy experienced by Stefan Thomas, a German programmer living in the United States, who in 2011 stored 7002 Bitcoins in a secure IronKey storage device. At that time, the price of Bitcoin was only a few dollars, but with its value rising, the digital keys that Thomas forgot are now worth hundreds of millions.

- The problem is that the device allows only 10 attempts to enter the password before it permanently locks and encrypts the data, and Thomas has already used 8 attempts, refusing to use the remaining two without complete certainty, despite offers of help from technical experts around the world. His story has become a stark example of the fragility of digital assets and the dangers of relying entirely on memory in a world that provides no alternatives for forgetfulness.
