I Got High, Forgot My Bitcoin Password, and an AI Named Claude Made Me $400,000
A Bitcoin holder recovered $400,000 in BTC after 11 years using Anthropic's AI chatbot Claude. The user, Cprkrn, had forgotten his wallet password after changing it while high in college. Claude helped dig through old files to find a pre-password-change wallet.dat file and mnemonic phrase, enabling recovery without breaking Bitcoin's encryption. The story highlights AI's potential for digital archaeology and serves as a reminder to check old hard drives for forgotten crypto assets.
