Mr Beast’s house robbed of everything except for bitcoin

[robattfield]

lol The thief, after watching Mr. Beast's video, will probably hate it for the rest of his life because a piece of paper can make him rich instantly. However, it proves that bitcoin is still not popular with everyone, so the thief did not pay attention to that piece of paper. But it also needs to be considered that once bitcoin becomes more popular and widely known, there will be no more luck. So protect your property carefully.

Some of you may have seen this clip before, and I’m assuming a good amount of you know who Mr Beast is (if not he’s a highly followed social media “influencer” I guess you could say, but an actually cool guy who gives back a lot to people.

Here he talks about how his house was robbed, but the idiot robber just passed by his Pc which had a piece of paper sitting next to it that said “public and private keys” right on it lol. He laughs at what morons they were. Reminds me of the time my car was robbed of about $10 in change but they left my $600 radar detector and $2000 dvd player just sitting there lol.

Lesson here, not all robbers are there stupid, hide your keys!

Mr. Beast is a very generous guy, but also, maybe this was just a stunt. Are we be completely sure that this wasn't staged just to draw attention? If there is a police record that would suffice as being legitimate. But maybe he is too rich to even care, one thing is for sure that Mr. Beast would definitely not leave his Bitcoin PKs out on the table in broad daylight next to his computer. Maybe there is some hidden symbolism in his videos? It might help if I actually watch it lmao. Good post m8!

Nah I think you're thinking too much in to this one.  As some have pointed out, this video is a couple years old ( at least I believe it is).  I mean I did some stupid shit in my early days of bitcoin.  I also recently heard Mr Beast I think on Joe Rogans podcast say that the only reason he moved in to a much larger /nicer home was the fact that he needed much better security.  He's just not a flashy guy, and if I remember correctly he said he still drives a very average car.  The guy doesn't need to pull stunts anymore, he's I believe the most popular YouTuber period and has been for some time.

I think that Mr Beast is a very lucky person. He should have kept private but makes it public, he is wrong again.

[ethereumhunter]

Many people disdain to store their crypto assets on paper and putting them carelessly for people to see. But Mr. Beast was very lucky because the thief had no idea what Bitcoin was and thought that paper was useless at all. And indeed, if the thief watched Mr. Beast, he would curse and regret why he didn't take the paper as well. But even if he took the paper, he also can't use it because he doesn't know anything about crypto assets. So it was only normal that he would not take it.

Mr beast seems very lucky, when someone wants to rob his house. He can be called a very successful influencer. Actually, in this modern world, a laptop or cellphone can be a wallet that contains a lot of assets and a lot of money in it. Because almost everyone on this earth now definitely knows how to save money and manage money via laptops, PCs or cellphones.

So it seems like the robbers at Mr Beast's house didn't know about it, or because they were in a hurry, and made them forget all about it. His name is also a robber, some are smart some are stupid. But in essence, we as investors in digital assets such as crypto and most certainly have bank accounts that can be managed via laptops, PCs or mobile phones (M-banking), we must be more careful and be able to store everything very carefully and thorough. Because if you are not careful and thorough in storing all the assets you have, you are afraid that when someone wants to rob and the robber is smart, it will be easier to be robbed.

[Z-tight]

But even if he took the paper, he also can't use it because he doesn't know anything about crypto assets. So it was only normal that he would not take it.

It is so easy to learn how to import a private key and sweep the funds to another address, even for a person who hasn't done it before, just a few minutes put into the research and they will be able to do it without fuss. Take note that if an attacker gets your private key while robbing you, they will surely try to sweep the funds as soon as possible, probably when they still have you under their control, because if you are ever in a situation were someone steals your private keys, you have to act fast by sweeping all the funds you have in that address to a new one that has a different seed, and you may probably do it faster if the attacker lets you go and leaves with the keys, or if they have to do a research on how to use it while they are gone.

Bitcoin can be used as money, but thieves may already be aware of how it functions and that it can be tracked, making it actually risky for them to choose items whose whereabouts cannot be traced. Alternatively, the thief may have been in a hurry and neglected to check every item in Mr. Beast's house that could make him extremely wealthy. This is because thieves typically look for physical items that can easily be turned into cash immediately. And while this story is funny, if it were the other way around Mr. Beast would not be able to laugh at him. I believe Mr. Beast was simply lucky at the time because perhaps there will be another thief who is already after his Bitcoin so he will only look for the Private Key stored in the house.

It’s still early now but am sure time will come when robbers won’t care about properties or fiat currency anymore, the only thing they will care about is bitcoin, when they come to attack, they will drop their wallet address and they will ask you to send bitcoin to the wallet, but am sure it won’t be now, bitcoin adoption haven’t gotten to that level, not everyone knows about bitcoin yet, and even robbers won’t be wasting their time asking if people are having bitcoin, but when bitcoin have been adopted and made legal in most countries, bitcoin will end up being like a fiat currency, everyone will be having it.

In my country no robber will even ask you for bitcoin because most of them don’t know about bitcoin and just few people percentage of people are holding bitcoin in my country, the only reason that will make robbers request for bitcoin in my country is that maybe they got information that you are holding bitcoin, and even if you are holding bitcoin, most of them will want you to convert it to fiat currency for them, they will prefer to go away with fiat currency.

[demonica]

Well not all robbers know every valuable things and that's one of the examples. They just grabbed everything they can and what they see as valuable but of course, not everyone will know what is more valuable. The same goes for op's story. The robber might not know how valuable and expensive those items that they left untouched.

I don't know how these thieves works but probably whenever they stole valuable items like devices, they tend to sell it faster since the locations can be tracked. So in order for them to avoid getting tracked down, they would just sell it somewhere without even trying to access those devices. Also, not all thieves are techy and know how to unlock devices, so I don't think they will spend time trying to unlock devices since they could be located. But glad for Mr beast that he didn't lost everything at that time.

[Lucius]

I heard that some people mentioned this character on the forum, but I didn't pay attention to him, and now that I see how he behaves, I'm not too sorry for that. I don't know if anyone has ever confirmed that the robbery even existed, and it's no secret that these so-called YT influencers exaggerate or deliberately lie in order to increase their viewership - in other words, they will do everything for a few more clicks.

I would not laugh at thieves at all because they take what they can sell quickly and easily, but at people who keep their private keys on a piece of paper next to their personal computer or even worse in the computer itself. The question arises, who is the real fool in this story?

[nimogsm]

I saw this video somewhere and it was funny while he's explaining how did it happened. Things like his private keys where labeled on that computer and good thing the robber didn't even flinched to touch it or else his BTCs were all gone.

I'm not very familiar with his work, I've seen a few videos, as far as I understand, he produces entertaining content and helps people. In this story, the saying comes to mind: if you want to hide something, put it in the most visible place. But the thief turned out to be more attentive; he could take a solid jackpot.

He's a content creator and the videos that he's producing are budgeted like a million dollars each of them. It's like that robber is just for some things and think that he took a jackpot but didn't.

After the discussion in this thread, I watched his video yesterday. He is a cool dude and really creates very strong content. Before, I simply didn’t come across his videos, since I’m not fond of videos of this format, which is probably why it was not in the recommendations. And yet he was very lucky that the thief was very stupid.

Yes, I know him from the videos that I've saw in YouTube. Well, Mr. Beast was just a one lucky guy because the thief don't know what the paper meant as there is no way that the thief didn't read the note saying "Public and Private keys", it's just that the thief didn't mind it as who knows, that note may sound gibberish to him and figured out it that it wasn't really a big deal.

Aside from that fact, the thief might not knew who was he robbing because if he did or if that was a specific target, those keys are surely a primary target as that is literally diamonds in their eyes.

He's really good person, of course he will show it into the public since he earn thru views in the Youtube plus his an influencer. It's like a cycle while he gives money he also earn from his videos so it's a give and take but the fact that he gives people especially in needs some funds is really a nice move. By being this rich of course it wouldn't be a surprised for him to invest in Bitcoin, which is a good thing for him. Now we've seen that people aren't still aware of Bitcoin and would really go to fiat money as they don't know the true value of Bitcoin.

Don't you think he's wrong to call the rubbers moron? I don't want to conclude by saying that the robbers are not crypto savvy because there are cases where robbers will come to your house, rob you of your money as well as your valuable possessions. He should be thankful to God for blinding their eyes that they didn't think of stealing the laptop because I they had done that, they would have definitely seen the note containing the private keys and taken it as well.

[OgNasty]

It is funny when MrBeast tells the story of his laptop being taken but the private key for his Bitcoin on a sticky note was ignored. It shows you that Bitcoin still isn't mainstream and common thieves aren't yet targeting it.  That's a good thing I guess.

MrBeast's gaming channel seems ripe for crypto infiltration if you ask me.  He puts on a lot of events using Minecraft that I think would actually be better done in the Sandbox if he were to develop his own land.  I'm sure somebody's gotta be working on this idea.  I think MrBeast has the potential to bring the metaverse mainstream. 

[sunsilk]

~snip~

now, that this story is out, he should take care of his bitcoins and the keys. he should have not disclose it to the public about his bitcoin's holdings. maybe, it is also good for his content, hence, the mention of robbers not touching his computer and BTC's keys.
sometimes people are really not cautious on what they are sharing to the public. but in any case, it is up to him how he will safeguard his crypto assets. now, there will be new thieves on the look out for his crypto assets...

Well, it had happened once and I don't think that his unwise to let that happen again. He for sure has got enough of it and will not label icons on his PC such as his bitcoin private keys. I guess he's got it now on a hardware wallet.

He's the biggest if not, one of the biggest content creators in YouTube and also in different platforms. The thief probably isn't just aware of computer stuff and looking for some real money to find out.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

But even if he took the paper, he also can't use it because he doesn't know anything about crypto assets. So it was only normal that he would not take it.

Take note that if an attacker gets your private key while robbing you, they will surely try to sweep the funds as soon as possible,

But that will only be a robber who has an idea about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, because if they have no knowledge of it, I bet you they can still be in possession of the private key in next 10yrs and yet don't know how to use it. Because just as "Mr Beast" said that when the robbers came, he had on his laptop screen boldly written "Bitcoin private key", of which i'm sure after getting a private key, the next question will be which wallet owns that private key, which I can bet you that the private key of "Electrum" will not work on "Bluewallet" or likewise a bluewallet private key not work on "mycelium" e.t.c, of which it will take a lot of trial and error to be able to locate which wallet owns that private key luckily found.

Maybe those thieves been aware about those Privatekeys but they have decided to sweep it on later since the keys is there but Mr. Beast have those back up keys not only stored on his own laptop
but also into other place which he had still the chance to get those coins on accessing those via those PK which it could be still considered lucky  but if it was totally been that stolen then
$2M dollars overall wont really be that much for him or something that he could earn for a couple of months or something like that but basing on this situation then i would really
say that this is some sort a good advertisement of Bitcoin considering on how popular Mr. Beast is on which having that mention about Bitcoin would be at least
having that kind of exposure which it is really that something good.

Or he'll be happy that Mr Beast did not have any good security systems or cameras at home.
He's making millions from youtube and holds a lot of expensive stuff at home. He's a celebrity, so there can be fans and stalkers creeping around, yet he doesn't spend a few bucks on security?
You can buy a decent camera system for $1k and 5k will buy you a personalized system with movement tracking cameras that even has its own emergency power source.

I'd say that the thief was dumb but the youtuber wasn't the smartest either.

Lesson here, not all robbers are this stupid, hide your keys!

Not stupid but are just not aware of things. Fortunately, the robber is not that computer literate or an avid follower of him 'coz if the robber is, for sure he would know what to really steal. But it is indeed true, digital wallet would be only prone to the owner itself forgetting the private keys and/or missing the device wherein assets are being held; it won't be easily stolen or accessed. Same thing with bank accounts I think, they just have different access features.

He should just be thankful that what happened did not go to worse such as stealing more than half of his wealth in that instance. Should be a lesson for him to improve the security of his house to not be easily accessed by outsiders.
