now, that this story is out, he should take care of his bitcoins and the keys. he should have not disclose it to the public about his bitcoin's holdings. maybe, it is also good for his content, hence, the mention of robbers not touching his computer and BTC's keys.
sometimes people are really not cautious on what they are sharing to the public. but in any case, it is up to him how he will safeguard his crypto assets. now, there will be new thieves on the look out for his crypto assets... Grin

Well, it had happened once and I don't think that his unwise to let that happen again. He for sure has got enough of it and will not label icons on his PC such as his bitcoin private keys. I guess he's got it now on a hardware wallet.

After the discussion in this thread, I watched his video yesterday. He is a cool dude and really creates very strong content. Before, I simply didn’t come across his videos, since I’m not fond of videos of this format, which is probably why it was not in the recommendations. And yet he was very lucky that the thief was very stupid.

He's the biggest if not, one of the biggest content creators in YouTube and also in different platforms. The thief probably isn't just aware of computer stuff and looking for some real money to find out.

It is funny when MrBeast tells the story of his laptop being taken but the private key for his Bitcoin on a sticky note was ignored. It shows you that Bitcoin still isn't mainstream and common thieves aren't yet targeting it. That's a good thing I guess.

MrBeast's gaming channel seems ripe for crypto infiltration if you ask me. He puts on a lot of events using Minecraft that I think would actually be better done in the Sandbox if he were to develop his own land. I'm sure somebody's gotta be working on this idea. I think MrBeast has the potential to bring the metaverse mainstream.

Here he talks about how his house was robbed, but the idiot robber just passed by his Pc which had a piece of paper sitting next to it that said “public and private keys” right on it lol. He laughs at what morons they were. Reminds me of the time my car was robbed of about $10 in change but they left my $600 radar detector and $2000 dvd player just sitting there lol.

Don't you think he's wrong to call the rubbers moron? I don't want to conclude by saying that the robbers are not crypto savvy because there are cases where robbers will come to your house, rob you of your money as well as your valuable possessions. He should be thankful to God for blinding their eyes that they didn't think of stealing the laptop because I they had done that, they would have definitely seen the note containing the private keys and taken it as well.

I'm not very familiar with his work, I've seen a few videos, as far as I understand, he produces entertaining content and helps people. In this story, the saying comes to mind: if you want to hide something, put it in the most visible place. But the thief turned out to be more attentive; he could take a solid jackpot.

He's a content creator and the videos that he's producing are budgeted like a million dollars each of them. It's like that robber is just for some things and think that he took a jackpot but didn't.

He's really good person, of course he will show it into the public since he earn thru views in the Youtube plus his an influencer. It's like a cycle while he gives money he also earn from his videos so it's a give and take but the fact that he gives people especially in needs some funds is really a nice move. By being this rich of course it wouldn't be a surprised for him to invest in Bitcoin, which is a good thing for him. Now we've seen that people aren't still aware of Bitcoin and would really go to fiat money as they don't know the true value of Bitcoin.

Yes, I know him from the videos that I've saw in YouTube. Well, Mr. Beast was just a one lucky guy because the thief don't know what the paper meant as there is no way that the thief didn't read the note saying "Public and Private keys", it's just that the thief didn't mind it as who knows, that note may sound gibberish to him and figured out it that it wasn't really a big deal.

Aside from that fact, the thief might not knew who was he robbing because if he did or if that was a specific target, those keys are surely a primary target as that is literally diamonds in their eyes.

I heard that some people mentioned this character on the forum, but I didn't pay attention to him, and now that I see how he behaves, I'm not too sorry for that. I don't know if anyone has ever confirmed that the robbery even existed, and it's no secret that these so-called YT influencers exaggerate or deliberately lie in order to increase their viewership - in other words, they will do everything for a few more clicks.

I would not laugh at thieves at all because they take what they can sell quickly and easily, but at people who keep their private keys on a piece of paper next to their personal computer or even worse in the computer itself. The question arises, who is the real fool in this story?

Well not all robbers know every valuable things and that's one of the examples. They just grabbed everything they can and what they see as valuable but of course, not everyone will know what is more valuable. The same goes for op's story. The robber might not know how valuable and expensive those items that they left untouched.

I don't know how these thieves works but probably whenever they stole valuable items like devices, they tend to sell it faster since the locations can be tracked. So in order for them to avoid getting tracked down, they would just sell it somewhere without even trying to access those devices. Also, not all thieves are techy and know how to unlock devices, so I don't think they will spend time trying to unlock devices since they could be located. But glad for Mr beast that he didn't lost everything at that time.

It’s still early now but am sure time will come when robbers won’t care about properties or fiat currency anymore, the only thing they will care about is bitcoin, when they come to attack, they will drop their wallet address and they will ask you to send bitcoin to the wallet, but am sure it won’t be now, bitcoin adoption haven’t gotten to that level, not everyone knows about bitcoin yet, and even robbers won’t be wasting their time asking if people are having bitcoin, but when bitcoin have been adopted and made legal in most countries, bitcoin will end up being like a fiat currency, everyone will be having it.

In my country no robber will even ask you for bitcoin because most of them don’t know about bitcoin and just few people percentage of people are holding bitcoin in my country, the only reason that will make robbers request for bitcoin in my country is that maybe they got information that you are holding bitcoin, and even if you are holding bitcoin, most of them will want you to convert it to fiat currency for them, they will prefer to go away with fiat currency.

Bitcoin can be used as money, but thieves may already be aware of how it functions and that it can be tracked, making it actually risky for them to choose items whose whereabouts cannot be traced. Alternatively, the thief may have been in a hurry and neglected to check every item in Mr. Beast's house that could make him extremely wealthy. This is because thieves typically look for physical items that can easily be turned into cash immediately. And while this story is funny, if it were the other way around Mr. Beast would not be able to laugh at him. I believe Mr. Beast was simply lucky at the time because perhaps there will be another thief who is already after his Bitcoin so he will only look for the Private Key stored in the house.

But even if he took the paper, he also can't use it because he doesn't know anything about crypto assets. So it was only normal that he would not take it.

It is so easy to learn how to import a private key and sweep the funds to another address, even for a person who hasn't done it before, just a few minutes put into the research and they will be able to do it without fuss. Take note that if an attacker gets your private key while robbing you, they will surely try to sweep the funds as soon as possible, probably when they still have you under their control, because if you are ever in a situation were someone steals your private keys, you have to act fast by sweeping all the funds you have in that address to a new one that has a different seed, and you may probably do it faster if the attacker lets you go and leaves with the keys, or if they have to do a research on how to use it while they are gone.

Mr beast seems very lucky, when someone wants to rob his house. He can be called a very successful influencer. Actually, in this modern world, a laptop or cellphone can be a wallet that contains a lot of assets and a lot of money in it. Because almost everyone on this earth now definitely knows how to save money and manage money via laptops, PCs or cellphones.

So it seems like the robbers at Mr Beast's house didn't know about it, or because they were in a hurry, and made them forget all about it. His name is also a robber, some are smart some are stupid. But in essence, we as investors in digital assets such as crypto and most certainly have bank accounts that can be managed via laptops, PCs or mobile phones (M-banking), we must be more careful and be able to store everything very carefully and thorough. Because if you are not careful and thorough in storing all the assets you have, you are afraid that when someone wants to rob and the robber is smart, it will be easier to be robbed.

Many people disdain to store their crypto assets on paper and putting them carelessly for people to see. But Mr. Beast was very lucky because the thief had no idea what Bitcoin was and thought that paper was useless at all. And indeed, if the thief watched Mr. Beast, he would curse and regret why he didn't take the paper as well. But even if he took the paper, he also can't use it because he doesn't know anything about crypto assets. So it was only normal that he would not take it.

Mr. Beast is a very generous guy, but also, maybe this was just a stunt. Are we be completely sure that this wasn't staged just to draw attention? If there is a police record that would suffice as being legitimate. But maybe he is too rich to even care, one thing is for sure that Mr. Beast would definitely not leave his Bitcoin PKs out on the table in broad daylight next to his computer. Maybe there is some hidden symbolism in his videos? It might help if I actually watch it lmao. Good post m8!

Nah I think you're thinking too much in to this one. As some have pointed out, this video is a couple years old ( at least I believe it is). I mean I did some stupid shit in my early days of bitcoin. I also recently heard Mr Beast I think on Joe Rogans podcast say that the only reason he moved in to a much larger /nicer home was the fact that he needed much better security. He's just not a flashy guy, and if I remember correctly he said he still drives a very average car. The guy doesn't need to pull stunts anymore, he's I believe the most popular YouTuber period and has been for some time.

lol The thief, after watching Mr. Beast's video, will probably hate it for the rest of his life because a piece of paper can make him rich instantly. However, it proves that bitcoin is still not popular with everyone, so the thief did not pay attention to that piece of paper. But it also needs to be considered that once bitcoin becomes more popular and widely known, there will be no more luck. So protect your property carefully.

I will not say that the robbers were stupid, Stealing bitcoins was not their target because they have no knowledge about it. If they did, they would have gone for the Bitcoins which will be easy to carry and will be untraceable. There are different types of robbers each having what they are interested in, some are property thiefs, Jewelry thiefs, automobile thiefs, and Bitcoin thiefs. Mr beast is lucky that he was not attacked by Bitcoin thieves or thieves who have the knowledge of the value of bitcoins.

Good thing that those robbers arent really that aware in todays tech and other innovative things but for sure on the time those robbers had seen that Mr.Beast videos are really surely crying at the time.
They did really just focus on getting those T-shirts which does shows up some huge hate. Cheesy

They did just missed up that huge thing which it is basically been written on there in speaking about privatekeys which it does have $2M inside it. Well thats a good thing for Beast though.
Turns out that robber is indeed a moron just like on what he said on his video. LOL!

People or robbers would really be usually be focusing on things which they do know that does have value but they do missed out the big part due to lack
of knowledge or simply being dumb but well what it already happened.

I'm not astounded by the ignorance of "Mr. Beast" because the fact is a lot of people need banks/centralization to save themselves from their own incompetency. You would be surprised at how little people care about their own safety and privacy and outsource it to a 3rd party to keep them safe. Some might even put a password on their crypto wallet thinking they're being secure but will reuse passwords on all accounts, some of which probably plastered on databases from leaks.

If "Mr. Beast" knew enough to keep his private key physically stored, then he would have been aware of how important it was to keep it hidden. He almost learned an expensive lesson.
