The Welshman who lost 7,500 bitcoins in 2013 is still looking for them, 8 years later, more determined than ever. You should know that the value of the hard drive amounts to nearly 400 million euros. A story of perseverance and stubbornness that could be made into a great film!

His misadventure begins in 2013 when his wife throws the hard drive in the trash, not knowing exactly what it was. Since then, he has asked the landfill in Newport, the city where he lives, for permission to excavate and move 200,000 tons of waste!

And for 8 years, the city refuses. He even says he is ready to give 25% of the bitcoins to the authorities. Nothing works! Officials don't flinch. In the meantime, the life of the unfortunate has deteriorated. He divorced his wife and sinks even deeper into his obsession.

At the time, we kept them on hard drives for more security. Trading platforms were being hacked more often than today. And so, it was quite risky to keep them in an online wallet.

Thank you for reading until there, I hope I have helped you !
