The Brit has ended years of searching for the Bitcoin disk.

A resident of the United Kingdom, James Howells, a former owner of the cryptocurrency that was accidentally thrown away at a landfill in Newport, has given up on attempts to retrieve it.

In 2013, the girlfriend of the 39-year-old IT specialist accidentally threw away a hard drive containing cryptocurrency that is now valued at $750 million. Howells discovered that the disk ended up in a landfill in Newport and planned to sift through thousands of tons of garbage with the help of data recovery experts. However, city authorities prohibited access to the landfill and even posted security to prevent unauthorized search attempts.$BTC $ETH $XRP
