HE THREW AWAY 287 million dollars 💵

A British man who mistakenly threw his laptop hard drive containing 7,500 bitcoins worth $287 million dollars 💵 into the trash in 2013.

James Howles promised to give 25% of the value of bitcoins to residents of his city in Wales (approximately $71.5 million), but the city administration said that the license does not allow excavation in 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 his computer, which he threw away.

As a result, he forgot about the bitcoins stored on the disk and threw it away while cleaning. In 2013, their cost was already about $7.5 million. Now their price has increased almost 50 times - one bitcoin costs approximately 28 thousand dollars.#btc
