What is it like to lose Bitcoin?

In 2009, a guy in England had a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoins

that was thrown away by his ex-girlfriend, worth a total of 5.1 billion.

So this guy insisted on searching in the landfill for 11 years; this is not a

landfill, this is San Francisco!

During that time, he sought help from the British government and NASA*. Yes, you heard it right,

the famous NASA once went to the UK to search through garbage...

It seems they didn't find anything...
