The article begins with a statement that the man is supposedly ending his search for lost bitcoins, but ends with Howells remaining defiant, stating: "Im not giving up the fight." LOL!

After 12 years of fruitlessly wasted years, this BTC-enthusiast is ready to spend the same amount or more? A desperate man. After all, his chances are decreasing every year due to the physical destruction of the HDD under the influence of the external environment.

If Howells had directed his efforts to other types of activity during these 12 years, he could have earned enough bitcoin instead of wasted time.

Sometimes need to be ready to accept the loss, so as not to lose even more.

Yeah, he might have earned some since, but it does seem like an uphill battle to recover them even if the drive was found. I suppose they could use some hardware to recover it but who knows.
