For the most absurd reason imaginable, a very unfortunate man has been prevented from accessing Bitcoin worth around $1.8 million.
We've heard a lot of terrifying stories throughout the years ever since the price of bitcoin rose to absurd heights.

But as one unfortunate TikToker - @conspiracycubed - recently stated, the main reason he can't access his account is that he can't really remember who his closest friend from 2005 was.
He explains: "Guess who's got 1.8 million dollars worth of Bitcoin sat in a dead wallet? Me.”
"Guess who can't get into this wallet because the information is stored on their Hotmail account? Me."

He added: "Why can't I get onto this Hotmail account? Is it because you lost the password? No, I know the f**king password. It's my account.”
"So why can't I get on it? Well, it appears that somebody has tried logging into my account.”
"Now it's asking me to send a text to verify that I am who I say I am, even though the profile picture on the account is of me.”
"So I say to them, I don't have this anymore, because I had this f**king phone number back in 2010."
The TikToker continued by describing how he "bought the Bitcoin on a whim and just forgot about it."
He added: "I bought at least 100 Bitcoin. Now that is the equivalent of a 1.7million or 1.8 million dollars. I spent 40 quid on it. Maybe 60? I don't know. It could have been as much as 200 pounds.”

"I cannot access my account. Are there any lawyers out there that can help me?”
"Can I do a subject access request? You know, force them f**kers to give me my data it's my data.”
"My f**king face is on the profile picture. I've got emails from my girlfriend, who I'm still with 12 years later. And that's not proof.”

"That doesn't count as proof to them. I can show a government ID, I cannot remember who the f**k my best friend was from 2005.”
"And I no longer have access to this phone number. I'm actually trying to buy my old phone number just so I can get on my own Hotmail account.”
"If there's any legal help out there. Please get in touch with me. I will cut you in. I swear to god."
