    I saw one like this where a guy hired a hacker to get into his encrypted wallet device because he was sure it had like $100k in it. Guy broke in, pulled up the Bitcoin wallet and… It was empty. Dude had forgotten that he sold all his Bitcoin YEARS ago.

    This will play out like a Black Mirror episode. I’m calling it. The day he finds that drive is the day before bitcoin crashes and is worth $4.35 per coin.
