“I looked at the Bitcoin exchange rate – now pushing towards $900 in the latest extraordinary bubble – and realised it had turned into a rather big investment. But then I remembered what I’d done with the phone containing the currency. Wanting to make sure it was somewhere I could get easier access, I’d transferred almost my entire Bitcoin holding to a new wallet on another phone that I was testing back in the summer. Then, a few weeks ago, I offered this phone – supplied by the manufacturer – as a prize in a charity fundraising effort. And before handing it over to the winner I had of course restored it to factory settings, wiping all of my personal data and apps, including my Bitcoin Wallet.”
