There is a whole new realm of lost treasure out there.
With crypto currencies making waves in the financial realm, there is digital currency access saved on hard drives across the world.
So, what happens if you forget you have your bitcoin access saved to a hard drive in a computer you decide to get rid of?
Well, this is what happens.
This gentleman tossed a laptop in the trash....unfortunately for him, there was access to 7500 bitcoin....which, at the publication of this blog is worth $136,847,625.00.
He has plans to try and find said laptop, but he has the financial ability to do so, with his own net worth being $80 million.
Most of us would not be so lucky to have the finances to pursue such an endeavour.
If he was smart, he might as well purchase that section of the landfill, and literally mine it for other materials while looking for his laptop; he'll at least recoup some of his investment that way.
There are over 4 million bitcoins out of circulation right now....
that translates to $74.76 BILLION dollars.
Here is the breakdown for anyone interested.
This digital age could well be opening up a whole new wild west of treasure hunting.
