8000 BTC lost 12 years ago is now close to 1 billion dollars.



In 2013, Welsh programmer James Howells accidentally threw an old hard drive labeled "BTC backup" into a landfill.
At that time, the value of these 8,000 Bitcoins was less than £500,000. Today, with multiple rounds of BTC bull and bear markets, this wealth has approached $1 billion.
Unfortunately, after 12 years of litigation and negotiation, he ultimately announced that he would give up on reclaiming.

This story shows us:
First, opportunities are fleeting. At the moments you least regard, there may be hidden wealth for a lifetime.
Second, security is always the top priority. In the world of digital assets, asset storage and private key management are more important than any candlestick chart.
Thirdly, cognition is wealth. Whether you can hold on and grasp in uncertainty determines how far you can go.

Today, you may be staring at the market, or you may be hesitating about the next move.
Don't forget: in the crypto world, there are no ifs, only the present.
Being able to seize the current layout may be the next watershed moment of "miss it and the price skyrockets." #Gate ETH 挖矿年化收益 5%#
