Throwing Away Millions of Dollars
There are plenty of Bitcoin success stories, but there are even more dramatic ones when people simply didn’t care enough to save their Bitcoin purchases. Back in the day, when we had no idea that Bitcoin would turn hundreds of people into millionaires, saving Bitcoin for the future didn’t seem like such an important thing.
James Howells was one of those people who thought his hard drive with Bitcoin was just useless junk, and he simply threw it away during a routine house cleaning. That hard drive contained 7,500 BTC!
It wasn’t worth that much in 2013, but now that would translate to $270,000,000. It’s painful to even think that somewhere there lies a hard drive with such a fortune. And, believe it or not, Howells wasn’t the only one who disposed of his money like that! Those people must be really rethinking their life choices right now.
