Despite offering 10% of the treasure, the council says "No way, Josรฉ!" citing environmental hazards. Howells has been on this quest for a decade, even proposing an $11M tech plan to dig through 110,000 tonnes of trash! ๐ค
Bitcoin's value has skyrocketed from ยฃ1M in 2013 to nearly half a billion today. Talk about a costly clean-up!
