Claude saved $400,000 worth of Bitcoin for a stoner

There are few things you should pay as close attention to as your crypto wallet password. And what you certainly shouldn’t do is change it while you’ve taken a few too many hits from a joint. It happened to someone who, thanks to AI, now has access to his 5 Bitcoin again after 11 years (!). He bought the Bitcoin when it was still worth $ 1,250, but the price of the crypto has now changed so much that it is now worth $ 400,000. He had the Bitcoin in a wallet with an old password hint, but he no longer knew his password or the answer to that hint. Ultimately, he turned to Claude and the AI ​​chatbot made the digital coins accessible again.

Bitcoin back thanks to Claude

Not that you can easily crack crypto wallets by asking an AI chatbot: Claude simply helped him by providing password combinations. The user had been locked out of his wallet for over 11 years after getting high and changing the password. Naturally, he has already tried many password combinations, but without success. Claude was his last straw, his last attempt. He fed the AI ​​chatbot files from his old computer. The breakthrough was ultimately that Claude found an old wallet file that could be decrypted with an old mnemonic/password combination that he had discovered in a notebook. So he had, as it were, found the key and the lock together in the files of the PC, allowing the man to once again access his now very large amount of money. And you can now buy a house with that, instead of the $1,250 it was once worth. The man jokes that he would name his child after the CEO of Anthropic, although after consuming certain substances you are never sure whether that really remains a joke.
