Bitcoiners: “Bitcoin fixes the broken capital structure of the world.” Also Bitcoiners when Saylor uses Bitcoin to fix the broken capital structure of his company: “No! Not like that!”

NEW: Bitcoiner @cprkrn says Anthropic’s Claude AI helped recover access to a Bitcoin wallet with 5 BTC locked for more than 11 years. According to him, he had changed the wallet password while high in college and completely forgot it, despite still having the mnemonic phrase. After years of failed attempts and spending hundreds of dollars on recovery efforts, he uploaded data from an old college computer into Claude. Claude reportedly discovered an old wallet file that helped decrypt the mnemonic and recover the funds. The forgotten password: “lol420fuckthePOLICE!*:)”

I’m old enough to remember when Bitcoiners were in a certain space hyperventilating hysterically about the imminent collapse of MSTR and STRC and I calmly and comprehensively explained that there was zero chance of that happening and funds would arb the price of STRC back to $100
