Almost 10 years ago James Howells threw away a hard drive during a clear out – forgetting about the Bitcoin on it. Bitcoin worth estimated at £150m ($184m), James Howells is planning to spend millions digging up a Newport landfill in a bid to find the lost hard drive. If recovered Mr Howells said he would give 10% of the proceeds to turn the city into a crypto-currency hub. Any project to dig for the drive would require a huge manual task of digging through thousands of tonnes of compacted landfill that has been accumulated at the site for decades. Is bitcoin worth investing in?
