Stefan Thomas's story is the most fascinating one for me, he is the guy who become famous for forgetting the password to his ironkey bitcoin wallet, and out of 10 guesses, remaining just two guesses before the wallet is completely encrypted, he himself set the number of trials to a maximum of 10, and if after the 10th trial, the password is still wrong, he will completely loss his entire BTC7002 bitcoins which are altogether worth about $194,000,000 dollars according to the price of bitcoin today. He was said to have also lost the sheet of paper where he wrote the password to the ironkey bitcoin wallet, right now, he has this wallet locked in a secret room, away from even family and relatives .
This guys story is really a sad one, personally, i can only imagine how he must be feeling each and everyday he wakes up with that thought of having over a 100 million dollars in bitcoin but cant access it, must be a very painful experience, but i am particularly happy for him for he seems to have gotten over the depression of and have moved on with life, the guy is doing very well, and i know this because I am following him on twitter.
But in all, this teaches everyone of us never to do things carelessly, most especially when it comes to setting password in either our online accounts or wallet, things that have happened and written afore, are for our learning.
