Back in 2013, a man named James Howells from Newport, Wales, accidentally threw away a hard drive that contained 7,500 Bitcoins. At the time, Bitcoin’s value was relatively low, so it wasn’t an immediate concern. However, fast forward to 2017, when the price of Bitcoin surged past $19,000, Howells realized the massive mistake he had made. His lost Bitcoins were now worth over $100 million!

The hard drive had ended up in a local landfill, buried beneath thousands of tons of trash. Desperate to recover his fortune, Howells reached out to the local council, requesting permission to excavate the landfill in search of his digital treasure. Despite offering a portion of the recovered fortune to the council and investors, his request was repeatedly denied due to environmental and legal concerns.

Undeterred, Howells has spent years lobbying for access to the landfill, and even devised a plan involving AI, robots, and environmental teams to safely dig through the rubbish. As of now, he still hasn’t recovered his lost fortune, but the story of his buried Bitcoin continues to capture the imagination of the crypto community.

It’s like a modern-day treasure hunt—except instead of gold, it’s digital currency worth hundreds of millions!
