  Or maybe ask for the shoe box to be full of a block of pure gold? Probably easier to sell and should have a value of about $18M.

  Wouldn’t you crash the value of bitcoin trying to sell that many of them?

  Who would you sell them to?

  I’ll take my idea thanks.

    Surely it would dip when the news got out but btc is very liquid.

    Also, the risk of a wallet leak has always been there, this wouldn’t uncover anything that wasn’t previously known about it.

  You wouldn’t even need to take Bitcoin someone has access to.

  There’s tons of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that are theoretically unrecoverable because the private keys to the wallets containing them have been lost, or the hard drives they were on were sent to a landfill (and thus began the world’s shittiest treasure hunt).

  However, by spending any of that Bitcoin you’d probably make international headlines and end up starting a market panic, because the most likely explanation for gaining access to that Bitcoin is that you found and exploited some vulnerability in the protocol itself.
