🗑️💸 He threw away 8,000 $BTC into the trash... today it's worth almost 1 billion 💀

In 2013, James Howells, a tech enthusiast from Wales, accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoins.

At the time: no big deal, it was worth a few hundred euros.

Today: over 950 million dollars are buried in a landfill in Newport.

🔥 For 12 years, he tried everything:

🫴🏽Offer 30% of the loot to the city

🫴🏽Launch drones & robots to search

🏃🏽‍♂️Go to court to get permission to excavate

❌ Result: denied. The hard drive "belongs to the city". He officially abandoned the hunt in 2025.

But the story doesn't end there...

He now plans to tokenize his story by launching a symbolic DeFi project based on this tragedy.

📌 Moral for us, crypto addicts: 🔑 Keep your seed phrase like your life.

🧠 The drama of one can become the lesson (or opportunity) for all.
