How Can You Lose Bitcoin?
Talk about bad luck, a British IT worker named James Howells used his laptop to mine bitcoin back in 2009. His drive contained 7,500 bitcoin, which today, they’re worth $127 million!
The problem is he put the drive in the bin in 2013 and it was lost with the trash. He even tried to convince city officials to let him search the landfill, but they didn’t let him do it because it could have caused a “huge environmental impact on the surrounding area.”
