Just lie down and admit defeat! A man forgot the password of 1.5 billion yuan of Bitcoin and tried and failed 8 times: just admit defeat

A few days ago, a programmer made headlines around the world because he forgot his Bitcoin password and got it wrong 8 out of 10 times.
Recently, the programmer said that for the sake of his own health, he is ready to lie down and admit defeat. He has made mental preparations to lose this huge sum of money and his heart is calm.

Stefan Thomas is from Germany and currently lives in San Francisco, USA. Ten years ago, he obtained 7,002 bitcoins and stored them in a small hard drive called IronKey, which can try 10 passwords. Once the chances are used up, it will be permanently encrypted and can never be opened again.
As Bitcoin has become more and more popular in recent years, the price has risen sharply. These Bitcoins are now worth 245 million US dollars (about 1.585 billion RMB). Unfortunately, Thomas forgot the password to the hard drive...
In 2012, he entered the wrong password for the first time and realized the seriousness of the problem. Over the years, he has been working on various methods to recover his password, but unfortunately, he has failed eight times in a row. Now he only has two chances left. If he enters the wrong password, these billions of wealth will pass him by.
Thomas regretted forgetting such an important password. "I felt so desperate in the past few weeks that I couldn't find the right words to describe my mood."
"I even began to doubt the value of my life. Who would forget something so important?"

After so many failures, Thomas has decided to just let it go. "I said to myself, 'Just let it go for your own mental health.'"
Although he said he wanted to give up, Thomas said that when he lay in bed, he would still try hard to recall what the password was. "I will try some new methods. If it still doesn't work, I will probably despair again."
At the same time, Thomas also hopes that everyone can learn from his experience: "I hope everyone can learn from my mistakes and make sure to check their hard drives regularly in the future."
To prevent himself from trying again, Thomas has put the hard drive containing his bitcoins somewhere else. If someone finds a new way to open it, he will try again.
