FINAL UPDATE:
Someone from bitcointalk.org solved it, took less than 20 hours since published, that's quite impressive. I was afraid someone managed to brute-force it (someone on reddit tried 33 million combinations in one day).
Still, if it itches you to know the solution, I've added some word hints that should make it trivial to solve.
Stay tuned for my fourth project :)
omg someone solved it? your new clues made it very easy "BANKS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS" right? So you put the clues just now because someone already solved it?
reply
yes correct. I don't know how he solved it so fast. When I saw the funds were swept I was afraid it was brute forced. Happy it wasn't, humans won, machines lost. Sending you some sats for all the creative entries :)

this hint threw me off, as Genesis was in bold, i assumed that for sure the long word would either be Genesis, Satoshi or Bitcoin. But it turned out to be "Friends".

Dang, I thought
Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks
Would have something to do with it. And the other hint was that it would be a sentence.
