Back in 2013, James Howells accidentally discarded a hard drive containing 8,000 $BTC . After spending a decade searching through a landfill in the UK, he’s finally decided to call it quits.

That nearly $950 million worth of Bitcoin is lost forever—joining the estimated 3.7 million BTC believed to be gone for good.

This means that, in reality, only about 17 million Bitcoin are truly accessible today.

Just goes to show how rare and scarce Bitcoin really is. 👀
