In 2013, a man named James Howells from the UK accidentally threw away an old hard drive.
What was on it?
8,000 Bitcoins.
Today, that’s worth over $500 million.
He realized his mistake too late—the drive was already buried in a landfill. Since then, he’s been trying to get permission to dig up the site, even offering millions to fund the recovery.
But authorities said no—too risky, too costly.
A modern-day treasure hunt… all for digital gold.
