Riddle #2

The year is 2018. Anna works in the most prominent law office in town, and she just received her yearly bonus of $2.000 from her boss. During the lunch break, some of her colleagues talk about investing their bonuses in Bitcoin. She remembers watching news reports about Bitcoin and crypto on several occasions throughout the last couple of months. She decides to give it a try.

She has no experience with cryptocurrencies and thinks, how hard can it be? She powers on her computer and visits the only crypto website she has ever heard of, Bitcoin.com. Between the options Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Core, she clicks on the Cash version. She wants to buy digital coins, so that’s cash. What is she going to do with Core anyway, and is that even a thing?



She purchases the coins with her credit card. She withdraws them to a legacy address on her non-custodial bitcoin wallet. After a few days, she opens up her wallet to check the value of her coins. But the wallet is empty.

-   She sent the coins to the correct bitcoin address.
-   She used a genuine wallet.
-   The wallet has synced with the blockchain, and there are no other problems with it.


Why is her wallet empty? What did she do wrong, and how can she correct the situation?
