    This saga has been a ride so far. There is no way this guy is mentally stable at this point, he is going to do anything and spend every dime he has until he’s either found it or he brushes his teeth with a .38.

        It all ends with him finding it, wedged under a broken glass pitcher. He cuts himself badly and because he owns the whole landfill, and is nuts, his phone is dead and he bleeds out before he can get help.

      I mean, if you notice that you had and lost 700 millions you have to have a really strong mind to not go crazy. If it was me I think I would go crazy.

        He lost the coins in 2013 or before. The price was then $15 or even lower…

        If he just bought 100 BTC for only $1.5k in 2013, he’d now have 10 million dollars…

        It’s a far cry from this guy’s situation, but I think I had five or six bitcoin back when I was mining in the early days. I cashed out when they were maybe $40-50 each towards a new GPU.

        Sure, I could go nuts thinking about what I would do with the money now, but if I hadn’t sold at that rate, I probably would have sold at $100, or $200, or…

        There’s no way in hell I would have had the discipline to “hodl” to this point, so I just get on with my life.

          I had a few in my digital wallet that disappeared. I’ve looked for it for hours. oh well… when I last accessed it, the rate was probably less than $20 each, so I figured I lost a couple bucks… I would have sold them forever ago so no use thinking about what they’re worth now

          Yeah, but if those Bitcoin were “out there somewhere”, and you’d never have to think about money ever again if you found them…
