Before it encrypts and locks up forever. He has over 7,000 bitcoin in it worth over $220 Million. He lost the paper that he wrote the password on years ago and has attempted the password 8 out of the 10 attempts that he gets before he can no longer open it.

My God, it gave me anxiety just reading it.

Poor fucks

I honestly don't know what I would do in that situation but suicide would be on the table if I fucked up my last two attempts

What happens to the cash, if it locks him out?

 

[CDDP]

Value of the remaining bitcoin would go up in value as those 7000 would be locked away forever

What happens to the cash, if it locks him out?

That bitcoin would disappear completely. Could never be used.

I'm getting a little nauseous just thinking about that.

Always keep your passwords in the same place.

Jesus. That poor guy knows that all his money is gone. No way he remembers it. He's just delaying the inevitable.

Likely suicide.

That would fucking suck balls. Wonder if you could pay some computer specialist like a million dollars to figure it out? Probably better than wasting your last two guesses than having no access ever again
