Programmer Stefan Thomas is at the heart of one of cryptoās most gripping sagas ā heās just two password attempts away from being permanently locked out of a digital wallet holding over $250 million in Bitcoin. š±
Back in 2011, Thomas earned 7,002 BTC for creating an explainer video. He stored the private keys on a highly secure IronKey device⦠but then forgot the password. š¬ Only 10 attempts are allowed ā heās already used 8.
š”Several companies have offered to help crack the device, but heās turned them down, honoring prior commitments and legal agreements. šš¤

š A true thriller in the world of cryptocurrency ā and itās still unfolding.
