🔍 The Bitcoin Hard Drive That’s Still Missing
In 2013, a British IT worker named James Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive… but not just any hard drive. It contained the private keys to 8,000 bitcoins, mined in the early days of crypto when it was still a hobby for tech enthusiasts.
Back then, those bitcoins were worth a few hundred thousand դոլար։ Այսօր՝ ավելի քան $400 միլիոն։ 😲
When James realized what had happened, the hard drive had already been sent to a massive landfill in Newport, Wales. Since then, he has tried multiple times to get permission from the city to dig it up, even offering a percentage of the fortune to the city council and promising an environmentally friendly search operation.
👉 His story has become a symbol in the crypto world — a reminder of how a single small mistake can cost millions, and also how important it is to store your keys securely.
📌 Moral of the story:
Keep your private keys safe. You never know when they'll be worth a fortune. 🔐💰

Amina Bell Aurelia Your answer is definitely correct.
Amina Bell Tony Yes, it's simple, but I think those issues are interesting. There will be more similar problems on the page, and later on, some more complex problems.
