RE: 5 Years ago, Wired magazine called Bitcoin an abstraction, destroyed their wallet keys and now can't access $120k worth of Bitcoin

in #bitcoin6 years ago

Well, that's definitely a story to add to the collection. I have a neighbor that is 50+ years old. In 2010 we were talking about BTC at his local caffe and he wanted to know more as well. After explaining it all he gave a friend of mine, who was mining at the time about $20 worth of local currency to sell him 10 BTC.

Needless to say, the keys to that wallet are lost and this guy has no clue where they might be.

I feel like 10% of all crypto will be lost forever because of this.
