My mother few years ago was persuaded to buy a cryptocurrency by then most people were unable unaware what it entailed.
By then most part of the world was using the yahoo mail and then gmail come on board ,most people opened the Gmail which then was used to purchase the bitcoin.
I happen to have the bitcoin code the Gmail it was sent to but accessing the Gmail has been problematic ,believe it high time someone design and come up with moderities to reclaim the bitcoin.
In future it will be a great intervention if by chance a developer design the bit coin or alt coins with safety measure where if a coin or key is lost or unaccessed for over 10 years it's automatically donated towards advancing a social justice issue.
