I really love everything about our new family wagon. The only thing I still question is whether it was the right moment to buy it and how long will it take me to to stack this 0.25 BTC we spent on it! #OnlyToyota

In 2013, James Howell's partner inadvertently threw out a hard drive along with other trash. Unknown to this person, this hard drive contained approximately 8,000 bitcoins. For the past decade Howell has been petitioning the town council of Newport to excavate the landfill in the hope of recovering the drive which would now hold approximately $647 million worth of cryptocurrency. Now he is suing the council in an attempt to force them to let him excavate. Should the hard drive be recovered, Howells thinks there is an 80 percent chance that the coins on it would be retrievable. If it all works out, he has offered the council 10% of the recovered Bitcoin: $65 million worth. But, citing environmental concerns, the council has rejected his proposal to dig through over a decade's worth of garbage. The council issued a report wherein a spokesperson said, "The council has told Mr. Howells multiple times that excavation is not possible under our environmental permit and that work of that nature would have a huge negative environmental impact on the surrounding area. The council is the only body authorized to carry out operations on the site."

Don’t listen to what they say. Watch what they do!

I managed to orange pill my landlady and just paid my rent in 🌽 She wanted to be able to easily convert to fiat so I recommended @strike. How do I prompt her to learn how to self custody though? 🤷
