Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

That poor slob in Britain is still trying to get permission to search the landfill for his bitcoins. Worth 250 million.

I can't think about how much that could wreck someone's life.

Which goes to show that Bitcoin needs to be taken very seriously. "Be your own bank" is tough. If you're not organized, not backing up your stuff, not taking such things seriously, Bitcoin's going to bite you in ways you never expect. It's going to mess with your head and even drive you insane. Same goes for any of us. Remember to always safely keep backups of your paper wallets and seeds, and make sure you clearly remember your passphrases and PINs. Periodically check to verify that you actually have access to your coins, this will refresh your neurons. Keep your keys away from online devices. Never take your PC/mobile to the repair shop when you have crypto in it (which you shouldn't have in there anyway).

After so many years of being buried under so much organic garbage, the chances of him finding the HDD and being able to extract the data are very slim. Still, an HDD is supposed to be a sealed container, although I believe there's usually a "breather" hole somewhere on the case, don't know what it's for, maybe to equalize pressure. If that's the case, and garbage juices and moisture got in though that, it's pretty much gone I guess...

$250 million is a lot of money though, and can get things moving. If he manages to find the HDD, he should pledge to give a very generous percentage of that to anyone who can extract the wallet.

Good luck to him, he's going to need it, especially if he's unsuccessful.

It's like a modern day pirate treasure buried somewhere under piles of garbage. The chances are not that slim unless the pc was entirely submersed into water. Damn.. for 250btc I'd buy the entire landfill. Another way is to start digging without a permission and pay fines later...

P.S. where is gentlemand?

BREAKING: Financial powerhouse Goldman Sachs to offer #crypto custody as early as 2021!

https://www.coindesk.com/goldman-sachs-to-enter-crypto-market-soon-with-custody-play-source

Wait... Crypto custody is a case of not-your-keys, right?

The thing about custody is that it's guaranteed, often backed by insurance.

[Krubster]

How can I get my creditor number? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

I got the same thing.

The creditor number is in an older e-mail.

Thanks, I found it.

If anyone else has problems finding their creditor number, search your inbox for '債権認否結果に関するご連絡／Notice of the Results of Approval or Disapproval'. Your creditor number is stated in that e-mail.

Yes, they haven't been sold at present though. You can monitor the trustee's addresses for movement here - https://www.cryptoground.com/mtgox-cold-wallet-monitor/

Thanks, bookmarked.

But insurance will never cover the value of all the assets. Custody with insurance is a scam

Not saying you're wrong or right. Just wondering why you state this as a fact.

He had 7500 BTC* in that HDD. Just imagine the feeling... I'd go insane!

When Bitcoin marches up to the expected and unstoppable stratospheric levels of 2021-2022, everyone that knows about it will go insane.

Both coiners and nocoiners.

For different reasons.

Twitter/Reddit is shitcoin paradise. Just read any comments to any Bitcoin post. You'll find out the names of the shittiest shitcoins you never knew existed. Frankly, I don't expect anything else but anti-bitcoin, shitcoinery talk from these Reddit commentators.   

[Schnecke]

Saw about the same using 2016/17 as comparison, as well as 2013. Both did fit too, you know what happend later.

We tend to see what we want to see. Just hodl.

Ok. I didn't sell.
They really try to put pressure on us.

Pff... go back to reddit... 

No, they banned me for using the wrong image hoster.

Waking up to the smell of rekt shorts in the morning. Appears number may be trying to enter going up mode again.

Too busy IRL... Watching price when I can. I see pumps & dumps (for ants, although some are FAT ants).

Guys, need to post some extreme memes/pics ASAP if there's any hope for serious PUMP action. Supergirls, LGBTTIQQ2SA, gaynime and rusty pipes permitted. I've got to admit I enjoyed Frahm's panty+celery paintings. Always had a thing for women of that era. No CCMF or Carolinas please, save them for $100k, when the fun will really start.

HoDL.

"Our European visitors are important to us."

"This site is currently unavailable to visitors from the European Economic Area while we work to ensure your data is protected in accordance with applicable EU laws."

Are they protecting us Europeans from things that cannot be unseen?

 There was nothing there to be unseen anyway.  It likely has more to do with the fact that the EU has the best animal protection and welfare laws in the world.  They wouldn't want you people getting any ideas about horses... other than eating them after they were humanely raised in captivity and euthanized for your nutritional requirements.   Or maybe the site was stealing my personal data.

Well if done like bank accounts it would have a limit of 250,000 usd value.

But you would get that. I would argue it is better than btc in a wallet. If they set it up like a bank setups up a cash account.

Dude.

I think I preferred the political posts over this one... W.T.F.

Indeed. The concept of "bit rot" is a problem, as is finding tools to be able to read older media. Try finding a 7 track magnetic tape drive :-)

After so many years of being buried under so much organic garbage, the chances of him finding the HDD and being able to extract the data are very slim. Still, an HDD is supposed to be a sealed container, although I believe there's usually a "breather" hole somewhere on the case, don't know what it's for, maybe to equalize pressure. If that's the case, and garbage juices and moisture got in though that, it's pretty much gone I guess...

Yeah, possibly. It certainly would not be an easy recovery but 250 million allows a lot of tools to work on it.

$250 million is a lot of money though, and can get things moving. If he manages to find the HDD, he should pledge to give a very generous percentage of that to anyone who can extract the wallet.

Good luck to him, he's going to need it, especially if he's unsuccessful.

And that is a big problem with this thing and the IronKey item: Anyone attempting recovery would know that a slip or error would result in wiping a quarter of a billion dollars of value off the earth, with the resulting "unhappiness" of whatever syndicate was funding the job. Forever you would have the question "maybe he got the key and is just not telling us" hanging over your head. (Yes, you could always check the public balance, but still people get weird when serious $$$ is on the line)

Even a simple task like replacing a USB port on a Trezor would be exceptionally complicated with that much $$$ on the line. It would be like walking a curb next to a street vs walking a curb over a river of lava.
