In 2011, programmer Stefan Thomas received 7,002 bitcoins for making an educational video, when each bitcoin was worth less than $1. 💸

Today, these bitcoins are worth over $800 million, but he can no longer access them because they are locked in an IronKey USB drive that erases itself after 10 failed attempts.

With already 8 failed attempts, he has only 2 chances left. In 2023, a company proposed a solution, but Thomas refused, already working with other experts.
