Alright, this is just a crazy story. James Howell, a Brit, has been searching for a hard drive for 12 years. His girlfriend simply threw it away in 2013, and it contained 8,000 bitcoins. Can you imagine the scale? Back then, no one thought it could be worth so much. Now, with the price around $67,000 per coin, it's almost half a billion dollars. Some forecasts suggest that by 2030, it could even skyrocket to $10 billion if Bitcoin continues to grow. Howell even sued local authorities to dig up the landfill. And recently, he sort of officially gave up and ended the search. But the coins are still somewhere underground. Such a crypto horror story. I wonder, if he had found the disk, what would he have actually done?
