A story about British James Howell, who threw away his hard drive containing 7500 BTC in 2013 and has since used every possible means to search for the hard drive, including using robot dogs and human robots. He has spent millions of dollars on the endeavor. James Howell is a perfect example of a modern nightmare.
What this guy is doing is crazy. But to believe that your money is somewhere out there is sadomasochism. He dug through a bunch of garbage, but he was left with nothing. I think he should have just felt sorry for his mental health.
Many of us have probably lost something in our lives that we deeply regret. It all depends on the person; someone will say "to hell with him" and live on, and someone else will spend their money on searching, getting into an even bigger ass.
By the way, everyone who wants to grieve can also start crying, since the knowledge that you could buy bitcoin at the very beginning is tantamount to losing James Howells.
