WSJ Your Money Briefing · Forgot Your Bitcoin Password? That Could Be a Problem · 25 Dec 2017 podcast

Welcome to Your Money Matters. voice-verified

I'm Anne-Marie Fertoli in New York. voice-verified

Bitcoin is notorious for its volatility. voice-verified

The cyber currency plunged nearly 25 percent last week after soaring to record new heights in November and December. voice-verified

That has investors watching closely. voice-verified

But imagine this. voice-verified

You want to cash in or get out, but you can't remember your password. voice-verified

We've all had the experience of forgetting a password to an online account. voice-verified

But for Bitcoin, it's very different because there's no official authority to contact to help you reset it. voice-verified

Joining me now in our studio to talk about this particular challenge are Wall Street Journal reporters Allison Sider and Stephanie Yang. voice-verified

So, Allison, there's a great phrase in the piece you both wrote for The Wall Street Journal that really gets to the crux of the problem. voice-verified

It's like losing a bank password, but there's no bank to contact. voice-verified

It's not like you can just call someone for help or click a forgot password link and get an email to reset it. voice-verified

Stephanie, typical password requirements seem to be getting more and more complex, but Bitcoin passwords are in a league of their own. voice-verified

Can you explain the password requirements? voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

And as you mentioned in the article, there was actually an episode of The Big Bang Theory where this happened. voice-verified

And you both talked to investors who had bought in years ago and are now watching Bitcoin soar and are unable to do anything to get their money. voice-verified

So is it basically in a cooling tank so that it can cool down as it's trying out all these different passcodes? voice-verified
