This man has 7,002 Bitcoins in a password-protected hard drive and has lost the password. 😱 German-born programmer Stefan Thomas has just two password attempts left before he loses the keys to the 7,002 Bitcoin (BTC) he earned by creating a short animated video in 2011. He locked the cryptocurrency keys in an encrypted hard drive, but forgot the password. If his remaining attempts fail, Thomas will lose $220 million at today's BTC price. The programmer was also unable to sell during the 2021 bull market, which would have valued his holdings at nearly $500 million. #bitcoin #BTC
