This is a video I came across on X (Twitter) recently that claims a lady owned 900,000 BTC back in 2009. Would you believe that? 900,000 Bitcoin
I almost did o, i no go lie, until I remembered what I know about Bitcoin.

Here is why that claim doesn’t make sense:
It was not in any way possible for anyone (apart from Satoshi Nakamoto) to own 900,000 BTC in 2009, considering that only about 1.6 million BTC were in circulation by the end of that year and which means lesser were in circulation as at March 2009.

Please, if you ever come across videos like this trying to convince you to sell your Bitcoin or invest, run away immediately because this is clearly and AI generated video.

The people who can created such realistic edits have incredible skills, so lets take a closer look closely at the details and smartness involved.
In this particular video, you can clearly see that the editor used footage of an old desktop  computer, something you would normally expect to see in the 1990s and 2000s, when laptops were not as common and some elites still used these bulky desktop systems so it perfectly fits the idea of an old video.
The video also has those familiar broken lines that come from older digital cameras or VHS recordings, something anyone who  watched TV with a VCR would be familiar with. Omo see legit scope and whyning na.
 
Now, imagine if the creator of this video somehow edited an old post from 2009 (fakebook or any platform) and added this clip to it, So many people would fall for it. In fact, if you look at the comments, you’ll notice many already believe it’s real and if some of them  could actually reach the lady in the video, they might even try to buy Bitcoin from her since he must have more than enough to give out at a cheaper rate.

Omo no jokes o, But if this had happened like three or four years ago, before people became very aware of AI-generated content, many people for fall victim

So my people, What can we learn from this??

• Always fact-check any information about Bitcoin these days even videos because editing skills and AI tools are now so advanced that lies can look completely real and this is a perfect example

• You can even use AI against AI. For example, many users discovered this video was fake simply by asking Grok (X’s AI assistant) to fact check it. You can see in the comments that Grok marked the video as AI-generated.

This also shows how having solid knowledge about Bitcoin can protect you from being misled because, as we’ve seen, a lot of people actually believed this was real so ensure you are seeking proper knowledge.
Might even make you wonder if there are consequences of having AI because anyone can stretch it to any limit, even in fraud and deceit when you know the right prompt you use

Now, just imagine if it was true can you guess how much 900,000 BTC would be worth at the peak of 2025?[/list][/list]

The idea here is very simple, if such a person thinks he truly has in possession up to that amount, he wouldn't have come in public to announce such, secondly, I don't often believe in whatever thing I saw online, they are mostly with the intention of a deceitful act, lastly, if he truly wants to show us he got such eith him, why not share the address to the public for possible tracking in confirmation to what he has claimed, I no longer fall for all these anymore, they ha e a different motive of doing these, they just want to misinformed the public and cause controversies.

She should try and learn on the way people do to get true attention of people. This was a cheap lie and there was no way he was going to make any sense to anyone that knows even a little background about bitcoin. She made that video in order to get attention as anyone that sees that headline will be so inquisitive to watch and react to the video.

Today, most of this social media pages do pay for much engagement on a users page, so content creators take advantage of that through lies and misleading information to get that reactions on their post. I know after sharing the news here, more people will want to click on the link to watch the video even though it’s clearly a lie, but she won’t care as she’ll get the attention needed on her page. Also, big blogs will pick up the news and want to share also in order to get the reactions on their own end too. Everyone is now after making more money and don’t care the route they pass through to get that money.

With news about how crypto holders with enormous stash are being targeted I don't think that any sensible person with a staggering amount of Bitcoin that runs into hundreds of thousands will show evidence on social media. That alone will make any reasonable person to know that the video must be fake and it is the handiwork of scammers who are looking for curious ignorant people to make their victims. If not for the fact that I have trained myself not to be in a hurry to believe anything that I see on social media I would have believed that the video shared in the OP is real. It is sad that AI was created for good purposes but scammers and mischief makers are using it to mislead the public, it is necessary to be very well informed in this internet age.
