👀8000 bitcoins under the trash.

⏺James Howells, who spent 12 years searching for his lost bitcoins, has finally given up the search. His 8000 bitcoins (approximately 920 million dollars) remain in a landfill in Newport, under 200,000 tons of waste.

⏺In January 2025, the court finally prohibited the search, ruling that the disc belongs to the city. Howells even tried to buy the entire landfill, but now the authorities are closing it and turning it into a solar power plant.#BTC☀

⏺Thus, 8000 BTC are removed from the total supply. And there are many such cases: estimates suggest that up to 4 million bitcoins can be considered lost, which is about 20% of the total issuance.$BTC
