But expect your account to be more than 7,000 bitcoin, but are surprised you do not have access key for some reason? How will you feel? This is what happened with James Howells of the UK where he lost a disc with about 7500 electronic currency 'bitcoin'

The story of this unlucky man dates back to 2012 and the beginning of 2013, when Nasia threw his laptop into the trash before discovering that the hard disk in the computer had a key to access his wallet containing 7500 bitcoin.

In 2014, James tried to conduct a major search of his computer at the landfill, but his city authorities prevented him from doing so without the permission of the competent authority. Yet James still hopes to find his own computer, although this is a very difficult task, although over the past few years the landfill has been increasing in size.

According to officials, the search for the missing hard drive may require millions of dollars, as well as a full team of heavy equipment workers. Honestly, I can not even imagine how James, who has been watching bitcoin rocket upgrades all these years, feels.

From today the price of this currency reached 11337.48 dollars, so the lost disk of James worth the most secure $ 85 million. According to his statement, he confirmed that his wallet was degraded in 7500 bitcoin as he showed it on the network, but he could not access it due to lack of access keys.
