In those days when we used to discuss technology, he mined Bitcoin (BTC) in an old pool. He referred to his mining rig as the "7970." However, since the value of Bitcoin wasn't very high at the time, he just left it in an old wallet.
is this 7970 a reference to Radeon 7970 HD that is a graphics card by AMD released back in 2011? is so, the story is plausible
we have seen many times here in the forum people sharing inspiring stories that sound a bit too good to be true but this one seems really legitimate
He was quite sure that he had something left in the wallet. After helping him out, I discovered he had 0.48 BTC in there. This has saved him, I believe. He wanted to send me something as a thank-you, but I refused because he needed the money more than I did.
yeah 0.48 back then would have been very cheap but now it is almost $40k usd with the price of bitcoin now it’s really fortunate that he was able to still access his bitcoin because a lot of people were not able to do so anymore due to carelessness and lack of technological knowledge
