  1. You would be absolutely devastated to lose that much potential fortune, especially in a landfill.

  2. I still don’t really understand why they didn’t ask for 50pc and let the guy go for it with his investors money…

  3. A solar farm on top of the site where some Bitcoin was buried seems almost poetic.

  4. I’m a bit lost here did some guy throw away a pc or laptop with the “key” to a Bitcoin fortune ?.

    Most landfills recycle electrical items so it’s unlikely it went into landfill the people who work at most landfill sites sort through the household rubbish taking out anything that can be recycled like bottles metal electrical items ect get put into a special bin if the items in good condition it gets put into a onsite shop we’re it’s sold there’s a very very good chance it’s in a computer shop or electrical storage depot waiting to be recycled or re used.

    There’s videos on the process on YouTube
