In 2023, I heard about this man on a Brazilian news portal
It's not just the fact that he collects cans to buy BTC that is interesting, but the whole package: in addition to recycling and accumulating satoshis, he also promotes Bitcoin and spreads knowledge
He has educational projects about Bitcoin, and his X profile is for anyone who is interested: https://x.com/sucateirocripto

An extremely interesting quote from him (translated to english):
“My partnership with Bitcoin was never about getting rich, but about not getting poorer.”

And one correction, he says he's not close to having 1 BTC
He comments that the current goal is to reach 0.1 BTC, which makes the story more believable

I don't know exactly where the idea came from that he's almost reaching 1 BTC
