He threw away nearly $1 billion worth of Bitcoin! 💸 The man finally gave up.
Twelve years ago, an IT worker named James Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoins. It was one of the biggest mistakes in crypto history.
In today’s market, those 8,000 Bitcoins are worth nearly $1 billion (about 12,000 crores in Bangladeshi taka)! 🤯
For years, Howells spent millions of pounds, sought investors, and used technology to try to find the hard drive.
But after all efforts failed, he finally gave up. One of the greatest treasures in the crypto world may have been lost forever. 💔
