Video - Billionaire Glitch: The Bitcoin Heist of 2010
Did you know that in 2010, a single glitch could have made everyone on your block a billionaire? Yep, in what could have been the heist of the century, a coding bug in Bitcoin's system accidentally created 184 billion BTC! That's right, billion with a B. This wild event is known as the "Value Overflow Incident." It happened when a transaction generated trillions of Bitcoins out of thin air, breaking the laws of digital physics! Thankfully, the Bitcoin community caught this faster than you can say "crypto-crisis" and fixed the bug within hours. They rolled back the transaction, like turning back time in a crypto-flavored episode of "Doctor Who." Imagine waking up to find out you're a billionaire, then having it taken away before your morning coffee! So next time your computer glitches, just remember, it could always be worse. You could accidentally break Bitcoin! What would you buy if you had all those Bitcoins for a day? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
