Part 1: The Man Who Threw a $Billion Bitcoin Investment In The Dump (How It Happened)

In the early days of Bitcoin it was just a strange internet experiment.

A man named James mined thousands of coins on an old laptop.
They weren’t worth much. Maybe a few dollars.

Then one day he threw the hard drive away.

Years later Bitcoin exploded in value.

Those forgotten coins would eventually be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Somewhere beneath thousands of tonnes of rubbish in a landfill in Wales, that tiny hard drive may still be buried.

In Part 1 we tell the story of the mistake — how it happened, how Bitcoin quietly grew in the background, and the moment James realised what he had lost.
