In 2011, Stefan Thomas received 7.002 $BTC as payment for making an educational video about Bitcoin.
He stored the funds on an IronKey device, but… forgot the password.
With only 10 attempts to unlock it, he used 8 and now lives with the weight of a mistake that is worth over $800 million.
The $BTC remains there, inaccessible, like many others.
It is estimated that about 20% of all Bitcoins ever mined are lost forever.
This means that the true supply of $BTC is even smaller than it is thought to be.
Scarcity is here — and time does not stop. ⏳🔥
