Claude AI helps uncover forgotten Bitcoin fortune worth $400K hidden for 11 years
SMRTR summary
A man who forgot the password to a Bitcoin wallet he created in college — when Bitcoin was worth about $250 — recently recovered nearly $400,000 worth of cryptocurrency after using Anthropic's Claude AI. Rather than cracking passwords, Claude helped sort through old computer files and identified an earlier wallet backup created before the password was changed, allowing recovery without bypassing any security.
