I laughed at this far more than I should have.
This guy not only didn't find his bitcoins, but now other people will make more money off of his story than he has. Oof.
- he couldve capatilize on this, and sold the game himself.
- And still searching to this day and trying to buy the whole landfill: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli
  
  hes desperate for that 800+million, he will spend the rest of his life doing it. if it buried under tons of trash, he will never find it.

Bummer.
You can still buy bitcoin though, just wait for the next dip and get right in.
- To the core! Diamond hands! Don't buy until it is pennies so you make a fortune in the upswing!
I wonder if he found his wallet in the game?
- I believe he's still out there digging to this day
  
  He actually tried to buy up the whole landfill so he can continue to search. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli
