Stefan Thomas lost the paper where he wrote down the password for his IronKey, which contains the private keys to a digital wallet that holds 7,002 bitcoins.

lmao I hope he gets desperate the next time bitcoin spikes & pays some cryptology firm to ‘crack’ it and they wipe it by accident.

    I don’t really get why people here are antagonizing this person, even if it wasn’t payment and he traded for it. I get that most people that are into bitcoin are libertarian weirdos, but if you bought into it and made a lot of money that’s not really unethical, at least it’s not any more unethical than investing in the stock market which is actually propped up by systemic reaproppriation of surplus value.
