Imagine throwing away a hard drive that today would make you half a billion dollars
richer. 2013, James Howells is just cleaning his office in Wales.
His girlfriend grabs an old drive and tosses it in the bin. Inside were 8,000
Bitcoin he mined for fun when they were worthless. Fast-forward to 2025,
that drive is worth over $500 million. It's buried under 100,000 tons of rotting trash.
He's sued the council, offered them 10%. They still say no. Half a billion dollars forever lost because
of one trash bag. Back up your seed phrase on steel plates right now. Smash like if you'd
risk it all. Put in the comments if you have heard a similar story.
