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.
