    BTC price goes up and this storry apears again and again. All I can say this guy pretends to be cool. His bitcoins at dump. Oh Yeah Man, right so cool. If you want to be famous you have to make up something like "I could use money in fight with covid-19". Sure that hard drive in a time capsule not getting rusty waterproof and can hold from -20°C to +56°C

    "Mr Howells bought the bitcoins for almost nothing in 2009"

    He's lost the currency value of "almost nothing", not millions. Otherwise, I've also "lost millions" because I forgot to buy APPL 20yrs ago.

    Sounds oddly like Russ Hanneman from TV show Silicon Valley. Wonder if they got the story from this.

    Guy throws away stick with hundred million on it and goes to the tip to find it.

    "That's not a thumb drive, that's a thumb! Put it back!"
