Buried deep in a Welsh landfill, beneath layers of years-old garbage, there is a hard drive that holds the key to almost $800 million in bitcoin – or so James Howells believes, after accidentally throwing the drive away in 2013.
I was once paid in bitcoin. It was like 1 bitcoin worth about $20. There was nothing to spend it on. I lost track of it. Now that coin would be worth about $100,000. Crazy.
I have four whole bitcoins from when you could sign up for sites that just gave them out. That wallet has been missing for the better part of a decade. 🫠

I used to have a little BTC back when faucets were still a thing. Managed to make a decent trade later on but nothing groundbreaking.
I paid a bitcoin for a pizza once
Just one for a whole pizza?
That’s pretty much a bargain in bitcoin history
