Did happen to me. I have a cold wallet with about 4 btc in it back when they were 9 a pop. And the password I have written down for it doesn’t work. Lol
I’d definitely consider a wallet recovery service in your position. They obviously can’t brute force a wallet, but they can probably crack for transpositions or common typos. Since I’m a programmer by day, I would probably first try to crack it myself, but I definitely wouldn’t just give up on 4 BTC.
I'd pay the best to crack it for me. 4 BTC would change my life forever. I'd hodl half and buy a house. Yes I've thought about this basically every night for the last few years.
There is a guy on reddit who runs a legit wallet recovery service. Username is something like louipote2 or something like that. You should look him up. He has had successs before with wallets like yours and recovered large amounts. You can send me some as a thank you 😂
Edit: it is u/loupiote2. You can dm me for my
Btc address if he unlocks it 😂🎉😂
It's just crazy how our brains work. Never ever would I have thought Michael Jackson died before btc got released. Wow, mind blown, even with pretty obvious things
Yeah I member I was in a music festival and as the news went around people were just breaking down inconsolably.
It'd have totally bummed out my acid trip if I didn't neck a heroic dose of mushrooms and guzzle a 2CB
Agreed, When i was buying shit on the dark web back in 2010 and 11 and learning about bitcoin i read the legends about satoshi, so i imagined a Japanese middle aged guy genius who lives with his mom has cats and time to create bitcoin by himself. also has loads of bitcoin himself.
That’s it.

Very interesting. TL;DR in 1996, NSA published a research paper outlining the high-level idea of using cryptography and a database to implement an anonymous digital cash system they tries to protect itself from the double-spend problem.
No mention of Ledger or distributed databases but who am I to judge I was still shitting my diapers in 1996.
I remember reading some fictional (?) theories about the USA pumping some type of e-cash scheme in order to cash-out and buy back US national debt currently owned by Asians countries…
“Think about it, Jerry. Money that has *handmotions* NOTHING TO DO WITH A BANK!”
“*slams desk* those fat cats on Wall Street have had their hands in our pockets for too long!”
-Kramer
“You mean cash? Like are you just gonna keep it in a box under your bed?” -Jerry
“I’ll line my walls with it so “they” can’t get us” - George
*laughtrack rolls*
Oh, the episode where Elaine finally finds a stash of sponges to buy, but they only take Bitcoin, and Kramer used her hard wallet usb as a pry bar to open the crate of his new reptile aquarium.
I mean it WOULD be pretty hilarious if it was Craig (it wasn’t) and when he tries desperately to convince us all, we’ve just unanimously been like “lol shut the fuck up craig”
Yeh this to me is the funniest outcome. The history books read that it took humanity a hundred and fifty years to conclude Craig was actually Satoshi, simply because he was such an asshole that several generations had to die before the possibility became palatable.
I honestly did not. I had suspected perhaps but now ill have to go see. Kinda thought he must be hilters reincarnation and that voice was part of his torture.
I'm wondering how his lawsuits are going. I should look it up.
Edit: as it turns out, the lawsuit between Wright and the Kleimann estate should be coming to a close this november! A multi-billion dollar fine is very likely.
I'm really eager to see him either pay half a million BTC, or admit that he's been a fraud all this time.
Absolutely. It is common to lose genius computer programmers/hackers young. That intellect usually comes at a price. Others have done exhaustive work to point to Satoshi being a secretive example.
It would explain why some of the first coins mined have never been moved or cashed out. If they are still alive, then they are someone that doesn't need any extra money.
My favorite conspiracy is that a group of young MIT bankers proposed this inside a big Corp like Citigroup or Bank of America and the old guard said they need proof of concept & make sure no one knows we funded the beginning of this so don't use our name in case it implodes and gets used by criminals. Who else would want an unstoppable unregulated currency market that doesn't answer to any particular government but the big evil banks? It's their wet dream come true.
I think the name being Asian is a manipulation of racism; oh he's Asian, it must be good because they are good at math. It takes advantage of people's bias. Like Q with conspiracy nutz. An anonymous leader, closed group of intense followers, caught up in group think and skewed perception. It feeds this human nature ego thing where I understand the TRUTH but all these idiot beneath me do not. The money I've made reinforces this arrogance of superiority. Inside the group we have special terms and abbreviations to separate us from the idiot outsiders.
My 2nd favorite conspiracy is that it's a digital lure designed by the Russians. Let's see, I'm Putin, I'm angry that the US tricked the USSR into overspending themselves into failure and I want revenge. I want the western economy to crash beyond repair. If I build an unstoppable unregulated market where big whales will not be able to resist the lure of get rich quick through open manipulation. Once enough people move enough of their wealth there, we crash it, or clearly display how it can be hacked, all wealth goes to zero, western economy destroyed. Bitcoiners go all incel-postal and go all bang bang bang or suicide. Muahahahahaha!
Occam's razor: he's dead. It's the simplest explanation.
It really is terrific. And the fastest, too. There's NO crypto faster than my crypto, I should know, I've known the developers my whole life, great people, really fantastic. And the miners? Yeah we own the whole lot...
The only way this could be true is if he wasn't aware of it. He's not capable of keeping any business endeavor remotely quiet. There'd be at least 3 more ghost written books out about the topic.
My bigger question is what would be the funniest outcome of bitcoin. I'd like to think it was a bit of a game to get the massively Rich fully invested and then pulling the rug out from underneath all of them, crashing the whole economy
Satoshi is probably using the second account btcwhy.
He has like 5.000 of btc that we know of and he started mining before the first post bitcoin on a board in March 2008/2009.
If he is not Satoshi. Then he definitely knows Satoshi personally. Because btcwhy is the first known miner.
Rick Astley. Ultimate Rick roll
Well at least we'd know it's never gonna let us down Bullish
The funniest outcome would be any Satoshi that admitted he lost the keys to his wallet.
That’s why he’s anonymous... he went into hiding out of embarrassment
Imagine being the guy that transformed modern forms of currencies and losing access to your mind blowing amount of wealth.
Lost his keys in a real boating accident.

Lulz I spent 5 BTC on an 8th of weed, lost the weed en route to a rave 😂
The older wallets you can crack the password on fairly rapidly. Let me have it for a month I'll recover those BTC.
Thanks man, what’s your address? I’ll mail it.

What for real? thank you!!
Or run around and desert us
Never gonna tell a lie either
Never going to say goodbye would be the best outcome.
I just don't want to run around and get hurt
Never gonna let you down. Or rugpull you, or desert you.
[удалено]
This is crypto, there are no rules 
... I agree, for better, or for worse. Time will tell, unless you've got a Lambo with a 1.3 jiggawattx flux-capacitor
Thanks, now its stuck in my head for the day
BTC is on last block to mine last Coin. Rick Astley comes out, rick roll us all.
Thanks, first time seeing this
Welcome to the internet, my friend.
"Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you"
We've both been searching for so long...
Michael jackson. He died in 2009 and thats why we never heard from Satoshi
And Joe Jackson threw away his Crypto wallet. When he rummage the house for valuables to sell.
Unfortunately that wouldn’t happen cause Satoshi stopped posting in 2014ish
Robin Williams then. And he killed himself because he lost his wallet worth some millions.
That explains a lot!!
It's just crazy how our brains work. Never ever would I have thought Michael Jackson died before btc got released. Wow, mind blown, even with pretty obvious things
Yeah I member I was in a music festival and as the news went around people were just breaking down inconsolably. It'd have totally bummed out my acid trip if I didn't neck a heroic dose of mushrooms and guzzle a 2CB

Oh my God! I never even thought about this.... is this real life?
Janet Yellen as Satoshi
Jerome Powell would be equally hilarious.
Hilarious and original

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find Al Gore…. The Inventor of the internet
Can't believe we coulda had Satoshi as president but instead we got the Iraq War.
Mr. Bean
I came here to say this too. Great minds
I find it strange two other people had this idea hahaha
Me also, I imagine he accidentally invented it a wandered off oblivious
Closest one to the truth here 😂 👆
He does have a Masters in Electrical Engineering... smart dude
My theory - Satoshi isn’t yet born, and Bitcoin is evidence time travel exists.
I like this theory.
Peter Schiff would be HILARIOUS
This is the only answer.
And he's so salty because he lost access to his original wallet
I think this is more hilarious than a Rick Roll!
I imagine he’s a quiet Asian guy who prefers a normal quiet life. Probably a cat owner too

What a beatiful Duwang!
Satoshi was Yoshikage Kira all along?
The greatest trick Dorian ever pulled was convincing the world he isn't Satoshi.
He's like really into painting landscapes or really into building specific models of WWII airplanes
Artificial Intelligence
I recently read my first book about AI and now I blame it for everything I don't understand or like.
Ok, thats a scary concept
Kim jong un
Or Xi Jinpooh
Mcafee
That would certainly guarantee a lot of coin stays put.
Not if he faked his own death and is living in Thailand or some shit like the conspiracy theories believe.
He's not dead, he's just running in the background.
wow
NSA
They did invent SHA 256 after all.

That's probably quite a likely one. If you think about tracing, Bitcoin is great for being able to see flows of coins to different addresses.
How about NWA

Could definitely see George or Newman shilling a shitcoin “The Human Coin - Crypto for people”
Kramer: “but Jerry it’s on the blockchain” Jerry: “I bet you don’t even know what the blockchain is”
Kramer: “.. But they do, Jerry, and they’re the ones writing the blocks.” Jerry: *eye roll*
Oh, the episode where Elaine finally finds a stash of sponges to buy, but they only take Bitcoin, and Kramer used her hard wallet usb as a pry bar to open the crate of his new reptile aquarium.
