      I just feel bad for him. Can you imagine how much the moment of throwing it away is burned into his mind? And ever since then he’s wasted huge amounts of his life trying to find it because he’s very understandably obsessed. Can you imagine accidentally throwing away 181 million dollars? And living with the knowledge that it could be out there somewhere just sitting there in the garbage?

      Sounds like a nightmare.

      If i were him i would try to focus on the fact that most likely he would’ve spent or sold the bitcoin before it became worth millions anyway, so his mistake of throwing it away probably didn’t really cost him very much at all
