There was a man named James Howells who accidentally threw away a hard drive in 2013, and that hard drive contained 8,000 bitcoins. He has been searching for it for twelve years and has finally given up recently. Did you know? Those 8,000 bitcoins are now worth about 915 million dollars, and he just threw them away. It's quite poignant to think about.
Interestingly, there is currently a documentary being filmed called 'Buried Bitcoin' specifically about his story.
It's also quite amusing to think that while he spent twelve years searching for his lost bitcoins, you might be slowly increasing your holdings during a market downturn. If only he had the opportunity you have now to hold onto bitcoins at the right time, he might not have ended up in this situation today.
