THE STORY OF MIRCEA POPESCU: THE MAN WHO HAD MORE #BITCOIN THAN ENTIRE COUNTRIES… AND DIED TAKING THE KEYS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA 🌊🔑₿
In a world where few knew what Bitcoin was, Mircea Popescu, an eccentric and radical Romanian programmer, amassed one of the largest reserves of BTC that has ever existed.
It is estimated that he had more than 1,000,000 Bitcoins.
Yes. One million.
He was so influential that, in the early years, a single post from him would move the entire market. He was feared, respected, and hated, all at the same time.
The Disappearance in the Water
But in June 2021, while swimming in Costa Rica, he drowned.
And here comes the part that froze the crypto world: No one has his keys.
No one has access. No one knows how his backup system worked.
If his BTC was truly in cold wallets without backups... then 1,000,000 Bitcoins disappeared forever.
The Impact on Global Supply
This fact is an impact equivalent to erasing an entire mountain of gold from the planet in a single day.
His death changed the narrative of Bitcoin in a crucial aspect:
It shows that a single person can disappear...
And take with them a massive part of the global supply forever.
The Final Question 🧠🔑₿
What is more terrifying?
The size of his fortune... or the idea that it evaporated from the system without a trace?
