12 Years Ago:
“What are you guys all doing?”, “Looking for millions stored on a hard drive.”
Grabs metal detector, finds hard drive, wonders if should tell anyone…
I’m confused. What’s the new development? Isn’t this where the story has always been?
It is worth the try. That is a generational wealth.
Just being a Bitcoin user 12 years ago was a ticket to generational wealth.
The guy: “Obviously you can’t recover it without the password. So I’ll just hire people to help me search.”
Guy he hired: “I’m just gonna try my own luck with this hard drive. Huh it didn’t work. Well, I don’t want to get in trouble.”
lol lmao even
When I lost that $5 bitcoin someone tipped me on reddit in 2011 or so, I didn’t cry about it because I’m not a whiner like this guy.
Also it was because I formatted my machine and forgot to back up my wallet since it was my first one, so not as easy to restore especially with the limited knowledge I had at the time.
Just think about all the man hours that could have been dedicated to anything more useful than this waste of time.
I mean, there’s 5$ in Bitcoin and then there’s nearly a billion dollars in Bitcoin. NGL id probably do the same
That 5$ could have been about 15btc in the beginning of 2011, so 1.5M$ today
Still orders of magnitude in difference…
This hurts too much to read
