💸 The Billion-Dollar Ethereum That Got Away 💸
Back in 2014, during Ethereum’s presale, Estonian banker Rain Lõhmus made a bold move — he bought 250,000 ETH before most people had even heard of it. Fast forward to today, and that stash is worth a jaw-dropping $1.18 billion.
But here’s the twist… that wallet has never been touched. The reason? The presale password and JSON wallet file are lost. Without them, the funds are locked away forever — fully visible on the blockchain, yet completely out of reach.
Ethereum’s presale encryption was designed for ironclad security. That means brute-forcing the password is basically impossible without strong hints. It’s a digital vault with no key — a fortune that might remain frozen for all time.
This story now stands alongside Bitcoin Pizza Day and James Howells’s missing hard drive as one of crypto’s most legendary “what could have been” moments. It’s a reminder that in crypto, security is everything — and so is backup discipline.
Imagine logging into your wallet one day… and realizing your billion-dollar treasure is there, but you can’t touch it. 🗝️💔
