In series of posts on Reddit, the pseudonymous user said that found “Bitcoins keys”  a long-time ago in an old computer at his grandpa’s house. He also stated that he got paid in Bitcoin eight years ago for answering surveys and doing other online tasks.

At that time, the Reddit user was planning to use the Bitcoins to purchase an in-game currency called Uridium. However, he stated that he didn’t buy any Uridium for some reason and ended up forgetting about Bitcoin, which wasn’t a pricey cryptocurrency at that time.

The Reddit user wrote: I used to play Dark Orbit at my grandpa’s house, and I was there for around a week during the holidays. While I was there, I was through his old Dell computer that I used to play the game and came across a .txt folder that was labeled ‘keys.’
