💸 8,000 BTC Buried in Trash – But James Howells Isn’t Giving Up Just Yet! 🚜💥
#BTCRecovery | #CryptoDrama | #JamesHowells
Back in 2013, UK-based IT engineer James Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive…
Not just any hard drive — one holding 8,000 Bitcoin. 😱
Today, that’s worth over $915 million at current BTC prices (~$114,231)! 💰
For over 12 years, Howells has been battling to gain access to the Newport landfill where the drive is believed to be buried. He offered $33M–$40M to buy and excavate the site. But once again — no response from the Newport City Council. ❌
So, is the journey over?
Not quite.
🔄 Pivoting Strategy:
Howells now plans to tokenize his legal claim via an Ordinals-based token — representing 21% of the wallet’s value. The idea? Let the community back the case and share in the potential recovery.
🗣️ "I haven’t given up — just switching strategies," he said via X.
Whether it's buried treasure or blockchain justice — one thing’s clear:
This is one of the wildest Bitcoin stories ever told. 📜🔥
