Sometimes, phenomenal news reaches you. News that just makes you smile. For many, they had this reaction when the famous gold bug and crypto skeptic, Peter Schiff, announced that he had solved the mystery of his missing Bitcoin. The cause of all the drama turned out to be that he mistook the pin for his Bitcoin wallets<\/a> as the password.<\/p>\n Schiff tweeted his momentous discovery on the 22nd of January, explaining that he knew the pin for his wallet, but logged out after the app was updated.<\/p>\n My #Bitcoin<\/a> mystery is solved. I mistook my pin for my password. When Blockchain updated their app I got logged out. I tired logging back in using my pin, which was the only "password" I had ever known or used. I also never had a copy of my seed phrase. Honest but costly mistake!<\/p>\n — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) January 23, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nA Classic Blunder<\/strong><\/h2>\n
