Bitcoin Core Could Say “Encrypted” While Leaving Private Keys in Plaintext.
**Your Bitcoin wallet says “ENCRYPTED.” ✅**
You relax.
**But under certain database failures, Bitcoin Core could report success while plaintext private keys remained.**

The unsettling part is what happens next.
You trust the confirmation. You make backups. You handle the file as though its keys are protected.
**A strong passphrase cannot protect a plaintext copy.**
The bug, the merged fix, and the self-custody lesson behind the green checkmark. 👇
