🇬🇧A legendary Brit continues to search for his lost Bitcoin wallet
In 2013, James Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC (worth about $768 million at the moment).
He has since been in litigation with the Newport City Council, Wales, which is refusing to grant permission to excavate the landfill.
In a recent interview, Howells expressed optimism, stating that if the bitcoins are returned, he will:
- Compensate everyone who helped him in the search for the coins.
- Contribute to the development of the crypto community.
- Consider reinvesting in blockchain projects.
This story remains one of the most famous in the world of cryptocurrencies, demonstrating both their enormous value and the risks of storing them.
