There are 7500 bitcoins in the trash waiting for them to find

Recommended Posts

It's crazy what this developer did. He who keeps coins must be more careful and knows how to keep them and does not forget that he owns them. We have had a hard lesson.

I am so sorry for James Howells, he will never find it or take it back, which is very difficult. 7500 bitcoin is a terrible number, this will be a lesson for me and everyone, be careful, once negligence is gone.

It's his mistake and surely he regrets it now. But I guess this was one of the painful and costly lesson he had learned in his entire life because it costed him millions of dollars,a fortune 

Yes, this is painful, and it was a very harsh lesson and he will not benefit from it because the opportunity that I missed is irreparable and will not be repeated again, even if the length of life continues to add Bitcoin again.

Those bitcoins may never have been founded unless someone found success but the hard disk containing 7500 bitcoins remained in existence for a long time before he accidentally dropped it.

No, that money is lost in the blockchain, and since the blockchain is decentralized, it is impossible to retrieve that amount of bitcoin, unfortunately. This is one of the negatives and positives at the same time.

That means it's a treasure.  Technology is increasingly advanced, people think of it as rubbish. Have you ever thought that it is a bait to find out how the weaknesses and strengths of the blockchain?  Because many technology experts are hiding.  The Bitcoin trash will found is my conclusion its only about time.

I feel very sorry for all those people that have lost bitcoin for various reasons. Some users have just lost their private keys, others might have made an error on sending bitcoin to wrong address, and others might have not been able to fix their crashed computers. Unfortunately that bitcoin will remain lost forever unless someone finds the keys

When you indulge a little in the field of cryptocurrencies and bitcoins, you will get to know something called the Private Key, which is a key that gives you access to all the bitcoins that you have collected or that you own in the event that the platform that you use does not work yet, and it is always preferred to save the Private Key is in a safe place that you can always access if you encounter any obstacles in accessing your account.
In 2013, a young man named James Howells cleaned his office one day full of unused devices, including a hard disk that he threw with the devices, after a period of time he saw a news for a Norwegian who was able to get a lot of money by investing bitcoin, he remembered that he had 7500 bitcoin he By mining it in advance, but to reach it he needs his own Private Key, which was recorded only in a hard disk that he later threw in the garbage, and I guess James has almost gone crazy about his act, and until now no one has yet been able to find the disk Hard, if you find it, you may find the Private Key and get 7500 bitcoins, which now equals approximately 75 million dollars.

It’s is hard to think how can we retrieve that lost bitcoin, I think at the end of the day when bitcoin price is to high then they will find a way to to get that.

That's impossible to recover now and maybe considered as wasted, things like that happens it will not be considered as a burned coins in Bitcoin because it cannot be recovered anymore only a miracle and in the future will worth so much.

I feel bad for people who have gone through this. But, can you imagine if someone truly is fortunate enough to find that drive with the private keys?

He will be lucky indeed, but this is hard to be taken. The hard disk is one of the millions of pieces in the garbage. Even his owner himself could not find it.

This is certainly unfortunate, but in the past they did not know the value of Bitcoin, as it was something new and they considered it a bubble, so they did not take the necessary measures to protect it. But they regret it.

Oh my God, this is crazy, but I think that he did not expect Bitcoin to reach this price, so it did not give importance, but a person should expect anything, no one knows what can happen.

this is an case in point for us to be further well thought-out of our assets, above all bitcoin and other coins which are mainly important to the augmentation of our country and large-scale reduced
 

Surely protecting our money is our responsibility. You should even consider protecting your money in crypto platforms and protecting your electronic wallets because they are completely vulnerable to theft, even to major platforms.

I remember reading this story, It was sad and funny at the same time as this person was actually spenting much time in the junkyard his garbage was thrown, digging and searching for his hard-drive. What happens is that in almost every junkyard there are scavengers that pick any electronic device and sell it for a small amount to companies that are buying scrap. The devices that are whole are not recycled into metal but are sold into massive electronic graveyards located in China and a few african counties, where workers take out everything usefull from them and use it on new devices.

The hard disk on which the keys to storage are stored is currently buried in a local landfill. The value of the digital currency at that time was about 130 dollars, but the value of the unit from it now exceeded 8 thousand dollars.

Perhaps this person will be considered the most sensitive person in the world as he threw his computer in the trash to find out. Also, his wallet contains 7500 bitcoins, yes 7500 bitcoin, or about 37 million dollars, and the hard disk that is in the computer has a key to access his wallet.

OMG. ☹️This computer probably has ended up in some country in Africa where old electronics are being recycled.

This person went to the place of throwing garbage to search for his computer. Unfortunately, it was prevented by the owners of the place and the authorities. Yes, I offer you the most miserable person in 2018.

I know this, but I think it's hard to find it even if it can't be found. for reasons that cannot be retrieved, this bit of bitcoin is lost, so there is no reason to take it. very rare

This is really crazy. If I were in his place, I would have madness. A person should expect everything in his life. James should have expected that.

They probably did not believed that Bitcoin will become one of must popular cryptocurrency now, but in any case he make big mistake. I read some article that a lot of Bitcoin are in wallets which were not used long time but that can means that someone just hold or they lost like you say private key and it can be said that are lost forever.

Because of that people must to know that private key are very important thing, like which I read a lot "not your keys not your wallet" a very instructive sentence.

He is Information Technology Officer , from Newport, Wales, in 2009, he began collecting "Bitcoin" digital currencies, and he kept collecting these currencies when they were worth only a few dollars, until he reached 7500 in the composition of all currencies stored on a laptop.

It is noteworthy that the value of the composition saved on the hard disk was about 975 thousand dollars at the time that the hard disk was disposed of, while its value is currently about 127 million dollars.

Несмотря на ожидания аналитиков, запуск спотовых Ethereum-ETF все еще под вопросом.

    • 🚀Последствия выплат Gox🚀 Платформа Mt. Gox начнет выплачивать возмещения в июле 2024 года, что вызвало падение курса bitcoin на 3%. Колебания рынка вызвали ликвидацию маржинальных позиций пользователей на сумму более $175 млн. Участники рынка опасаются, что выплаты в размере $9 млрд могут привести к продажам и дальнейшему падению курса биткоина. Однако эксперты считают, что значительная часть получателей компенсаций, будучи технически подкованными и заинтересованными в долгосрочном хранении, не будут продавать монеты сразу. Некоторые полагают, что распределение будет меньше ожидаемого и не окажет значительного давления на рынок.

    • Американские спотовые биткойн-ETF ( BTC ) продемонстрировали положительную динамику, зафиксировав четыре последовательных дня чистого притока в размере 137,2 млн долларов США. Изменение ситуации началось 25 июня после сложной недели постоянного чистого оттока средств практически по всем фондам.  Потоки биткоин-спот ETF 25-28 июня | Источник: Farside Investors В тот день, по данным Farside Investors, спотовые биткоин-ETF в США зафиксировали чистый приток в размере $31 млн, при этом лидером стал FBTC от Fidelity с притоком в размере $48,8 млн, за ним следует Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) с $15,2 млн. VanEck Bitcoin Trust (HODL) также сообщил о чистом притоке в размере $3,5 млн. Остальные фонды в основном оставались нейтральными, за исключением GBTC Grayscale, который столкнулся со значительным чистым оттоком в размере $30,3 млн. Однако 26 июня GBTC показал свой первый положительный приток с 5 июня, поскольку ETF в совокупности зарегистрировали чистый приток в размере $21,4 млн.  Fidelity и VanEck снова показали рост, принеся BTC на сумму $18,6 млн и $3,4 млн соответственно. Худшими показателями 26 июня стали фонды ARK Invest и ARKB 21Shares, зафиксировавшие чистый отток в размере почти $5 млн.   27 июня чистый приход средств был намного ниже, чем в предыдущие два дня, спотовые биткоин-ETF принесли около $11,8. Активность была распределена между пятью фондами, причем Bitwise обеспечил самый высокий приток в $8 млн. Fidelity также провела еще один позитивный день, зафиксировав $6,7 млн чистого притока.  Фонд BTCO Invesco Galaxy также получил положительный приток в размере $3,1 млн после двух дней подряд нулевых чистых поступлений. То же самое было повторено на Bitcoin ETF Франклина (EZBC), куда поступило 3,6 миллиона долларов после двух дней отсутствия чистых потоков. GBTC, однако, вернулся к оттоку средств, потеряв биткойны на сумму около 11,4 миллиона долларов. 28 июня IBIT BlackRock зафиксировал однодневный приток в размере $82,4 млн. ARKB также провел хороший день, зафиксировав приток в размере $42,8 млн. Остальные фонды не показали чистого оттока, несмотря на значительный дневной объем торгов в размере $1,31 млрд, согласно SoSoValue.   Сводка активности потока биткоин-ETF | Источник: SoSoValue На сегодняшний день 11 спотовых биткойн-ETF привлекли общий чистый приток более 14,5 миллиардов с момента их запуска в январе 2024 года. Этот всплеск инвестиций в ETF стал основным фактором рекордного роста биткойнов в этом году. Однако за неделю, когда наблюдался положительный приток средств, цена криптовалюты упала более чем на 5%, возможно, из-за предстоящих выплат кредиторам Mt. Gox, что может усилить давление на рынок со стороны продавцов. По данным CoinGecko , на момент написания BTC стоил $60 862,07, а его рыночная капитализация составляла $1 200 201 471 649 . Цена упала на 1,2% за последние 24 часа, что означает, что она отставала от общего рынка криптовалют, который упал на 3,6%.
