🌕 In 2012, Bitcointalk user JohnGalt bought a Casascius Bitcoin bar containing 100 BTC for $500. On May 13, 2025, he finally decrypted the private key and cashed out the bitcoins for around $10 million.
He said he had hesitated for years due to the bar’s collectible value and the pressure of holding something so valuable, but the soaring price of BTC ultimately pushed him to act.
