The crazy part of this story is that he spent a small fortune trying to recover these bitcoins but had he just moved on and started stacking again he would be rich by now. Let that be a lesson to those of you who need it. As long as you stay focused on trying to get something from your past instead of building new, you are wasting your life.
On one hand the man lives in a dream world. It's like he's 40% regret, 40% dreams of what he's going to do with the money, and the rest is allocated to planning, living a normal life and all that.
That's sad. The right course of action would be to buy bitcoin the moment he found out whatever he had was thrown out. And let's not forget that he should have made backups.
On the other hand I root for the underdog, so I'd like him to win against the dumb state and be allowed to look his drive.
