A UK police officer, Paul Chowles, is in trouble! He's accused of stealing Bitcoin, a type of digital money, during a past investigation. This happened back in 2017, when Bitcoin wasn't worth as much. But now, the amount he allegedly stole is worth a lot more.
- Chowles is charged with stealing 50 Bitcoins.
- Back in 2017, those Bitcoins were worth about £60,000.
- Today, the same 50 Bitcoins would be worth over £3 million!
- This shows how much the value of Bitcoin can change over time.
