Mamma mia, the story of James Howells drove me crazy. This guy threw away a hard drive with 8,000 Bitcoin in 2013, when it was worth about 8 million dollars. Now that drive would be worth 742 million. Imagine the panic.
For 12 years, he tried everything to recover it from the landfill - drones, artificial intelligence, robots - but the local authorities of Newport always said no due to environmental risks and British legal issues. The courts dismissed the case, saying that the hardware is probably destroyed after all these years.
But here’s the plot twist: a production company in Los Angeles bought the rights to his story and is making a documentary, podcast, and videos about James Howells’ treasure hunt. He’s excited and says he’s not giving up. Anyway, BTC is now at $78,420 (+2.95%), ETH at $2,310 (+2.32%), the market continues to move. Howells’ story remains one of the most incredible in the crypto world.
