Bitcoin News Today: British Engineer Abandons 12-Year Search for $944M Bitcoin Hard Drive
-
最新报道：British engineer James Howells has ended his 12-year quest to recover a hard drive containing 7,500 bitcoins (worth ~$944 million today) that he accidentally discarded in 2013. Despite multiple attempts to search the Newport landfill site where the drive is believed to be buried, local authorities repeatedly denied his excavation requests due to environmental concerns. Howells, who mined the bitcoins when they were nearly worthless, said he would have shared the fortune with the community if recovered. The Newport City Council maintains its position against landfill excavations, citing potential ecological damage and high costs. This case highlights Bitcoin's dramatic value appreciation and the risks of early crypto storage methods.
