Krystal, please change your passwords. They shouldn't all be similar, especially when you tell the whole internet.

[SomethingVISCID]

Can't click on "Forgot My Password" with Bitcoin, huh?

[david.stachon]

ugh, the depressing thought is people throwing away their laptops.
They belong in electronic recycling.

[IgorGuerrero]

KRYSTAL! You should NOT ever mention you use the same password for anything... keep that to yourself, it makes you a target of black hats.

[WhenItsHalfPastFive]

This scenario could make such a great movie. There has never been a scenario like this where a person knows they have 220 million dollars in wealth locked up but they can't access it without a password, that they only have 2 tries left for. It is an absolute tragedy

[damionmandy]

You know Saagar pushed for this segment.

[andrewclifton]

Finally, the perfect definition of SCHADENFREUDE - that feeling of joy you get when you hear about a bitcoin millionaire who has forgotten his password!

[zak]

Finally Rising covers bitcoin and it’s only this story about a dude who forgot his password. Really insightful guys!

[vonbee]

Now that the world knows her password method she better start changing them immediately.

How hard is it to write the password down, and store it in a safety deposit box at bank? Especially with that much money on the line? Or hide it several places like Saagar said? This guy essentially lost a lottery ticket. I would be too ashamed to even admit this publicly.

[geraldkaupp]

I keep a notebook, a real one, for passwords.

[canuckinsk]

I would love to see Rising talk about the crazy money printing that has caused Bitcoin to rise.

[brianbaratheon]

I dont even have a full bitcoin and I keep my keys and passwords on a hardcopy and I keep that hidden.

[ramonlarson]

I heard someone unlocked it, there's another dude in Wales that's paying his city 70 million $ if they find his hard drive or cold wallet with 7500 BTC on it because he threw it away

[KMRWales]

He lives like 10 miles away from me! Love it when Rising features a story from Wales 😁

[robotubetwob]

Yeah, you might want to write down those passwords.

[DICARLOPRODUCTIONS]

200 I´d have my password tattooed on my body. And I don´t like tattoos. LOL

[tinhinnh]

There is no “Forgot my password” button? 🤣

[YwTrM]

Who in the world just throws away their laptop lmao

[nigel-Rollercam-channel]

I thought everyone wrote their passwords on post-it-notes and then stuck them to their monitor, like my grandparents.
