Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site
-
His wife left him because he wouldn't stop talking about it and it became too much for her. very sad
-
I have a friend in NYC who searches his entire apartment every year or two because he had a few BTC on an old thumb drive. It is a bummer that he lost it.
I got some dogecoin at a one cent and sold it in the twenties, which was a nice little gain, but nothing huge like being an early BTC holder.
-
Nah. I'm in the "everyone involved in crypto needs repeatedly swift kicks in the nads" camp but spending the rest of your life digging in a garbage dump looking for gold is also acceptable.
-
He destroyed his life already. Probably a few others too.
-
At what point is it a mental disorder
-
That sounds rad we visited a steel spool factory and they didn’t let us take one home.
-
They let the kid take the radio because he said he could fix it and they wanted to distract us from the box of playboys also uncovered by the backhoe.

fr, i remember being mind blown when bitcoin hit £240.
If i had had some at that point i probs would have cashed out.
My old housemate lost like half a dozen btc in the Mt.Gox collapse
-
Exactly, there's so many points where 99% cashed out
-
But it's very much luck of the draw.
-
It is sad that this guy just can't let go.
Honestly though, if he can preemptively put sufficient funds into escrow dedicated to managing all aspects of the site and engineering plans for digging with minimal perturbation of each waste cell, then let him have it*.
(* Escrow amount should be approximately $780m)

He's gonna turn out like the granddad in the movie Holes
