👉 Okay, let’s tackle this wonderfully weird little squiggle – 7️⃣₿—with the utmost seriousness and frankly, a healthy degree of bewildered amusement!
What exactly is "7️⃣₿"? (…It's about to blow your mind... probably not in a good way.) Now, you might see that, smack-dab in the middle of a handwritten note, a hastily scribbled email, or even a cryptic ransom demand. You then immediately think, 'What, what is this ridiculous number?!' Well, here’s the absolutely bonkers truth: 7️⃣₿ (we're using the little bitcoin emoji as it makes things more digestible... I know.) isn't a standard numerical notation. It actually began to circulate during the early days of the infamous Cuthbertamphetamine ransomware that terrorized the 2010s, and by that point the code had already begun mutating into something really odd. Basically, in this specific, very limited context—specifically within Cuthbertamphetamine ransomware— "7️⃣₿," when you actually decrypt it according to its bizarre key of a random number, translates into the 21406386000000. It's essentially a very roundabout and paranoid way to specify an astronomical amount of money. Cuthbertamphetamine was obsessed with the ludicrous amounts of money they were demanding—it would have been a massive understatement to simply say “$1 million."
