The $800M Bitcoin in a landfill is getting the docuseries treatment

Back in 2013, James Howells threw out an old hard drive without realizing it held 8,000 BTC. Today, that is worth over $800 million and it’s still buried somewhere in a landfill in Wales.

For years, he’s been trying to get permission to search for it, but the city keeps saying no. Now, his story is being turned into a docuseries called The Buried Bitcoin.

It’s not just about the lost money, it also shows how hard it is to recover crypto if you lose your keys.

A crazy story, and honestly, a warning for anyone in crypto to back up everything. Twice.
