El Sueño Cripto Convertido en Pesadilla: Se Rinde el Galés que Tiró 742 Millones en Bitcoin
Doce años después de tirar accidentalmente un disco duro con 8.000 Bitcoins, valorados hoy en 742 millones de euros, el ingeniero galés James Howells ha decidido finalmente rendirse en su búsqueda. Desde 2013, Howells ha luchado incansablemente para recuperar su fortuna, proponiendo planes que incluían el uso de robots, inteligencia artificial y drones para excavar el vertedero de Newport. Sin embargo, las autoridades locales siempre rechazaron sus propuestas debido a los riesgos sanitarios, los costos excesivos y las dudas sobre el estado del disco. El golpe final llegó en 2025, cuando un tribunal británico dictaminó que, según la Ley de Residuos de 1974, todo lo desechado en un vertedero pertenece al municipio. Para la justicia, sus Bitcoins no existen legalmente, solo un disco oxidado. La historia de Howells se ha convertido en una tragedia digital y un símbolo de los peligros de las criptomonedas, sirviendo como una clara advertencia sobre la importancia de salvaguardar las billeteras digitales y realizar copias de seguridad de la información valiosa.

This suggests that the market has not fully recognized its true value, making it a buying opportunity.
HYPE: The cryptocurrency that challenges Bitcoin and Ethereum with a meteoric rise
