Briton accidentally throws away hard drive with 7,500 bitcoins🧐

A Briton who mistakenly threw away his laptop hard drive in the trash in 2013, which contained an e-wallet with 7,500 bitcoins, is asking the authorities to allow him to search for it in a landfill.

James Howles promised to give 25% of the value of the bitcoins to the residents of his town in Wales, but the city administration said that the license does not allow excavations in the territory of landfills.

The man bought bitcoins for next to nothing in 2009, and he kept the hard drive with the cryptocurrency in his desk after he spilled liquid on the computer, which he threw away. $BTC
