Back in 2013, James Howells accidentally tossed out a hard drive containing 8,000 $BTC.
After a decade of digging through a UK landfill, he’s finally called it quits.
That’s nearly $950 million lost forever — part of the estimated 3.7 million BTC gone for good.
So realistically, only about 17 million Bitcoin are actually in circulation today.
Just goes to show how truly scarce BTC really is.
