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.

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.

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.

    • Доверенное лицо биржи Mt.Gox, обанкротившейся в 2014 году, объявило о планах начать выплату компенсации в биткойнах, Bitcoin Cash в начале июля.   Решение было принято после завершения подготовительного процесса, включающего оказание технической поддержки, соблюдение правил в каждой стране и согласование переводов с каждой криптобиржей. Платежи начнутся в порядке очереди на платформы, подтвердившие необходимую информацию. Рынок нервно отреагировал на публикацию новости. Биткойн ( BTC ) упал ниже уровня в 62 000 долларов. Снижение стоимости BTC привело к падению котировок других криптовалют из ТОП-10 по рыночной капитализации. Банкротство Mt.Gox Gox была одной из крупнейших в мире криптовалютных бирж, действовавшей с 2010 года до объявления о банкротстве в 2014 году после хакерских атак. На пике своего развития на долю Mt.Gox приходилось около 70% общего объема торгов биткойнами . В результате взлома в 2014 году было украдено 850 000 BTC. Их текущая стоимость составляет более 57 миллиардов долларов. Процесс согласования выплат обанкротившейся бирже Mt.Gox стартовал в июне 2018 года. В 2021 году суд утвердил компенсационный план, разработанный управляющим компании. В декабре 2020 года был представлен план выплаты кредиторам бумажных денег, биткойнов и Bitcoin Cash ( BCH ). Детали плана были обнародованы в январе 2021 года, а в феврале он получил одобрение суда для последующего голосования. Компенсационный план поддержали около 83% пользователей биржи. Банкротство биржи привело к судебным тяжбам, длившимся семь с половиной лет, прежде чем был принят план по возмещению ущерба пострадавшим пользователям в 2021 году. Поскольку не все украденные монеты были возвращены, клиентам будет компенсирована только часть первоначальной суммы. сумма — 142 000 BTC, 143 000 BCH и 69 миллиардов японских иен. В декабре 2023 года клиенты Mt.Gox сообщили о возврате денег через десять лет после краха. На фоне сообщений в социальных сетях анонимных пользователей о получении средств курс биткоина упал на 4,5%. В конце мая курс биткоина упал до $67 500 на фоне новостей о движении активов Mt.Gox примерно на $3 млрд, предназначенных для оплаты клиентам обанкротившейся биржи. Участники рынка опасаются, что клиенты биржи, получив миллиарды долларов компенсации в биткойнах, начнут их продавать, что отразится на рынке. Выплата 9 миллиардов долларов в биткойнах Биткоин упал на 3% после того, как управляющий биржи Mt. Gox, обанкротившейся в 2014 году, объявил о планах начать выплаты компенсаций в начале июля. Цена главной криптовалюты упала ниже $58 000, восстановившись выше уровня $61 000 на момент написания статьи. Источник: CoinMarketCap. Несмотря на опасения по поводу Биткойна Mt. Gox, могут быть и более глобальные причины волатильности на рынке криптовалют. Новости о раздаче биткойнов кредиторам появились на фоне оттока инвестиций из торгуемых биткойнами фондов. Убытки капитала регулируемых криптофондов за вторую неделю превысили $500 млн. Это самый высокий показатель за две недели с момента принятия спотовых биткойн- ETF в США.
