<p>I guess we will notice whatever the video creator tricks us into noticing. As I'm sure you know, making an app that looks like another app is trivial. As is editing video to make the unreal look real. A Bitcoin wallet that genuinely contains $100k now may contain $0 one microsecond later.

<p>I am the one who made the video, and the video is a real wallet, but the password is lost forever, as everyone knows in Bitcoin core, passwords can be brute-force an unlimited number of times. The video is not fake, I can show any person any wallet in real time, as well as any evidence. The video contains the address of the site and you can see for yourself, there are also wallets on the site for free download with a balance, but with a forgotten password. the site also has empty wallets, these are wallets that were hacked and all bitcoins were withdrawn</p>

It looks like a scam.

There is *never* a good reason to buy a username_3.
