I’m happy i never got involved with bitcoin. I remember being mildly interested but decided to not bother. If i had a drive with almost billion on it and i had lost it or just not able to access it, it would dig at me too even if i tried to just let it go.
Damn, money really is the root of all evil.
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.
There is no way the storage medium survived all of that time in a dump. If it made it that far, it’s probably crushed, turned to rust, or both. It’s a lost cause.
In the mid 1980s I visited a landfill as part of a school project. They took a back hoe and plowed over a mound and pulled out legible newspapers from the early 1960s. A kid found a working radio. You might be surprised how well some things get preserved in landfills.
This guy just needs to let this go! He’s wasting his life on this. Even if he finds it in the next decade - honestly I’m not sure it’s worth it.
His wife left him because he wouldn’t stop talking about it and it became too much for her. very sad
Dude needs to let go, it probably didn’t even make it to the dump.
I was in the “he needs to let it go” camp for the last 10 years. You know what? I’m changing sides. I choose to live in the timeline where garbage bitcoin man buys the dump and proves everyone wrong. He earned it
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.
