## Resource

AI Unlocks Bitcoin Fortune: A College Students Viral Journey - An individual recovered nearly $400,000 in Bitcoin using Anthropics Claude AI, not through hacking, but by leveraging the AIs file hunting capabilities. The user had been unsuccessfully brute-forcing his wallet password for eight weeks before turning to Claude, which found a backup wallet encrypted with a password he already had. This event highlights AIs potential in helping people recover lost cryptocurrency, as millions remain dormant on forgotten drives.
