u.s nsa don't disclose their algorithms and methods.

While there are definitely things NSA protects, AES is open source and also studied by every math department, university and government in the world. Odds are it's safe enough against everything against theoretical quantum attacks.

The only way you're going to "crack" an AES256-encrypted file/disk with a sufficiently long key is if you threaten the owner with jail time and punishment, which is probably what the USA did in the recent cases.

Remember Satoshi's wallet contains 1.1 million BTC and if someone could crack it they probably would have by now.

Reading the court documents, it seems like the scammer did not use any encryption at all.
So anybody with access to his computers would be able to see the private keys.

if you bought your bitcoin long time ago below 30k or lower than that....you're still on insane profit and worth hodling...

First bought when it was USD 13k I think in Dec 2017

But now for me it's not a matter of how long ago bought, but rather seeing the unrealized profits disappear from 126k drop to 97k

Think I'll sell half and just put in something more stable like EPF
