Hard Drive With 7,500 Bitcoin Buried in Landfill. Can It Be Dug Up?**
In 2013 a British man accidentally threw away a hard drive that contained 7,500 bitcoin. Today it'd be worth over $350 million, reports CNBC:
His name is James Howells. He's an IT worker from Wales... He once told NBC News, "It is soul-destroying, to be honest... Every second of the day I am thinking about what could've been." In a last- ... β Read more

@xuu Should we feel sorry for him? π€ Or continue our opinion that Bitcoin needs to be globally banned? π (_such a waste of energy and resources_)

@prologic As I said, I think it's good to have some alternatives to money, especially when the inflation strikes and the governments money printers go brrrrrrrrrrr. I don't think Bitcoin is the ideal alternative we need and I'd prefer some better kind of a stable Internet currency, everyone could pay with online.
As for the guy, I don't feel too sorry for him losing the thing, but I feel sorry that he got it to begin with. It's the exact same thing as a lottery winner losing their winning ticket. The knowledge, that you could have been that rich, if you didn't make this small mistake, must be something that haunts one for the rest of their life.
@thecanine Agreed π Must haunt the poor guy a lot π€£

@thecanine, you know what's inflation, do you? Inflation will apply to any existing or invented currency, regardless.
I feel bad for anyone who has lost something valuable. Although not at the same scale, I too lost 3000 BTC, back when you would spend 10000 buying a pizza with them. At today's BTC prices that would have been $14.5M. Wife still asks me if I can find it somewhere. Meh, it is what it is.
> "Possession make you rich? I don't have that type of richness. My richness is life, forever."
@fastidious Yes, but there are many contributing factors to inflation, so some countries and currencies are effected more than others. Therefore there is value in having alternatives, be it other currencies, stocks, precious metals, art or whatever else people put their wealth into (Internet coins included - maybe).
I'm also not saying that money is related to happiness, as I myself would much rather died poor and have my work remembered by the world, than die rich and be forgotten, making my life overall meaningless.
