**The Story of James Howells**

#BTC James Howells, is an IT engineer from the United Kingdom. In 2009, Howells mined about 7,500 Bitcoins when their value was very low. Over time, Howells decided not to continue mining and threw away the computer he was using at the time. As the value of Bitcoin increased, Howells realized that the hard drive he had thrown away contained his digital wallet containing those 7,500 Bitcoins.

In 2013, those Bitcoins were worth millions of dollars. Howells tried by all means to retrieve the hard drive from the local Newport landfill, but local authorities refused to allow him to search, considering it a risk to the environment.

To this day, Howells still hopes to find the drive, as his Bitcoin would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars if he had recovered it.

This story highlights the importance of keeping sensitive information safe, especially in a world of cryptocurrencies where financial conditions can change very quickly.
