    I’m happy i never got involved with bitcoin. I remember being mildly interested but decided to not bother. If i had a drive with almost billion on it and i had lost it or just not able to access it, it would dig at me too even if i tried to just let it go.

    Damn, money really is the root of all evil.

    This guy just needs to let this go! He’s wasting his life on this. Even if he finds it in the next decade - honestly I’m not sure it’s worth it.

    Plot twist. It never even made it to the dump. His former partner saw the drive and took it before they split up.

    There is no way the storage medium survived all of that time in a dump. If it made it that far, it’s probably crushed, turned to rust, or both. It’s a lost cause.

      I was in the “he needs to let it go” camp for the last 10 years. You know what? I’m changing sides. I choose to live in the timeline where garbage bitcoin man buys the dump and proves everyone wrong. He earned it

        I don’t want him to find it because I want the over-the-top movie dramatization of that guy’s descent into madness.

        He can have part of the movie revenues, if he’s smart.
