Bummer.
You can still buy bitcoin though, just wait for the next dip and get right in.

To the core! Diamond hands! Don’t buy until it is pennies so you make a fortune in the upswing!

I wonder if he found his wallet in the game?

He actually tried to buy up the whole landfill so he can continue to search. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli

I laughed at this far more than I should have.

This guy not only didn’t find his bitcoins, but now other people will make more money off of his story than he has. Oof.

And still searching to this day and trying to buy the whole landfill: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli

I would hope he finds it several years from now and it’s unrecoverable, just because that would be funny. But I don’t actually hope that as I have seen nothing that says he deserves that. It was already kinda sad when he started looking, now it’s just depressing.

hes desperate for that 800+million, he will spend the rest of his life doing it. if it buried under tons of trash, he will never find it.

he couldve capatilize on this, and sold the game himself.
