In the United States, there are people who are in danger of losing a whopping 260 billion won worth of bitcoins because they forgot their passwords.



Thomas, a computer programmer, received 7,2 bitcoins for making a video related to cryptocurrency 10 years ago.




At the time, the price of 1 bitcoin was about 2-6 dollars, but as the cryptocurrency market including bitcoin has recently risen, the price of his bitcoin has jumped to 260 billion won.



The problem, however, is that Mr. Thomas has forgotten his password because he hasn't opened his e-wallet for a long time.



If the password is incorrect 10 times, the hard disk drive itself inside the electronic wallet is completely encrypted and cannot be found forever.



Mr. Thomas said he has already missed his password eight times and now only has two chances left.



Netizens responded by saying, "Just thinking about it makes my heart beat ㅠㅠ" and "I'll have to think of it quickly before it collapses... it's like a thrilling movie."
