A recent 2022 MrBeast video has once again gone viral on social media.

According to MrBeast's recollection, the incident occurred between June and July 2018 when BTC was priced around 7,000 USD. If he hadn't sold those BTCs until now, based on current market prices, they could be worth over 27 million USD (approximately 85 million TWD). The thief who broke into MrBeast's home stole items including a television, clothes, and a laptop with a Private Key. MrBeast described the theft, saying, "I thought I was done for, I couldn't find my laptop when I got home... then I rushed to open my desktop, crying, as I entered my Private Key, thinking everything must have been taken... that was all my wealth at the time, I was spending a hundred thousand USD on BTC every day... My heart was pounding like crazy as I waited for it to load, but all my assets were still there, so I immediately transferred them elsewhere... I was really a huge idiot, screw you!" Luckily, in 2018, BTC's popularity wasn't as high as it is now, which saved MrBeast from a major loss of assets. Before the theft, was MrBeast being followed near his home? At the time of the incident, MrBeast's YouTube channel had around 1 million subscriptions, still a long way from becoming a top global YouTuber. In an interview on The Yard Podcast, he revealed that the day before the incident, he noticed a red laser light shining at his doorstep when he returned home, making him suspect he was being watched. "I was a bit scared at the time, didn't know who did it, but didn't think much of it." The next day when he returned home, he found all valuable items missing, indicating the thief had acted while he was away. At that time, MrBeast's financial situation wasn't stable yet, fortunately, the most valuable BTC wasn't stolen. He also emphasized that his home now has a high-spec surveillance system to prevent similar incidents. How to protect your encryption assets? Don't make the same mistake as MrBeast! However, this incident can also offer a valuable lesson to all cryptocurrency holders: the safeguarding of Private Keys is crucial, never write them down on paper, especially in easily discoverable places! Remember these encryption asset protection suggestions: Avoid recording Private Keys on paper or unencrypted electronic files, especially on devices like computers or phones that are easy to steal. Use a Cold Wallet to store BTC on offline devices to prevent hacking. Consider enabling a Multi-Signature (Multi-Sig) Wallet, requiring multiple verifications even if the Private Key is stolen to transfer funds. Related Reports: Influencer MrBeast Exposed Again!
