I'm not buying it. There are far too many "unfortunate events" to be realistic. Besides, you couldn't easily make a paper back up in Bitcoin's early days.
We see stories like this every month here.

Not sure why someone would make it up..

I don't know, you tell me!

I'm not going to waste time arguing about it.

You just did.

The reason it has been such a pain to get this recovered and taken so much time is reactions like yours when it could have been a simple process.

Sure, blame me for your own mistakes.

That, and it was easy to make a paper backup back then. It was just a matter of writing down or printing a number of characters. An average English word is about 5 characters in length, so if you make a 12-word backup phrase, you're going to write out or somehow save 60 characters.

There you go again, making things up. There were no 12 word seed phrases "way at the beginning".

Come on, how serious are you? No details provided by you mostly at all, btw.

OP goes on Ignore. My best guess is he's hoping to earn Merit.

Good Lord.. Not made up. It's just bizarre how people want to assume it is. Good point, though, wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for the stupid things I did back then, won't argue with that. I'm just surprised at the level of, and focus on skepticism as opposed to desire to earn a lot of money for helping out. I'm fully aware there were no seed phrases back then.. My point was that it was as easy as writing down a phrase, just a comparison of the difficulty of writing it down.

Details I will provide in direct communication with people able to help out, so if you're interested, email me. Don't intend to be posting here once I finish what I'm doing, so I don't value getting any merit out of it. I've just got a lot going on, not checking this every day.
