BlockBeats 消息，7 月 12 日，据 Coindesk 报道，随着比特币近日屡创新高，早期比特币投资者、BitcoinTalk 论坛用户“JohnGalt”成功将其收藏 13 年的 Casascius 实体比特币金条兑现，取出当中存放的 100 枚比特币私钥，获得约 1000 万美元收益。
JohnGalt 表示指出，自己最初是在 2012 年花费 500 美元买下这根金条，当时比特币每枚仅约 5 美元，几乎无人问津。他在贴文中坦言，自己多年来曾多次尝试出售金条，甚至考虑透过拍卖脱手，但过程中经常因为估价争议、信任问题，始终无法顺利成交。如今随着比特币突破 10 万美元，让 JohnGalt 觉得继续持有价值“八位数美元”的实体资产已风险过高，这才下决心取出这 100 枚比特币。
值得注意的是，由于 BCH 与比特币沿用相同的私钥机制，在JohnGalt 尚未提取 BCH 时就有眼尖网友根据照片中的私钥，迅速将价值 4 万美元的 BCH 提领一空，整个过程仅花费 9 分钟。
