    Damn, beat me to it. I would bet 10,500 buttcoins that at least 75% of people who see that headline immediately thought the same thing too.

        I think the greatest ending to this story would be if an employee at that landfill found it (either by digging for it on their lunch breaks or just random chance) and was able to use it.

          By now it’s probably a really smelly paperweight, and Bitcoin Man would be bugging them endlessly even to regain ownership over that 🤷

          I think we’re living the best ending where it’s never going to be recovered, and this dude is flailing ever more futilely at courts…
