Sheldon’s Bitcoin Prank: How Leonard’s Lost Flash Drive Cost Them Millions

Even thoughJim Parsonsbrought Sheldon Cooper to life perfectly, the character’s antics often left Leonard (Johnny Galecki) far from being a millionaire. In one unforgettable episode ofThe Big Bang Theory, The Bitcoin Entanglement, the gang discovered they had mined Bitcoins seven years prior when they were just broke nerds hanging out at the comic book store. Fast forward to today, and those digital coins are worth a small fortune.

But leave it to Sheldon to complicate things. Always needing to be the smartest in the room, Sheldon secretly moved their Bitcoins to Leonard’s Batman flash drive, setting up a seven-year-long prank just to watch his friends scramble. And scramble they did! The gang tore through old laptops and tracked down Leonard’s ex, Zack, who unwittingly ended up with Leonard’s computer during one of Leonard and Penny’s numerous breakups.“That episode made me abnormally angry,”one fan put it perfectly.
