There are two types of early Bitcoin adopters: π
Type A: Laszlo Hanyecz.
Spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas in 2010.
Lost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Has accepted his fate. Gets free pizza at events. Living his best life.
Type B: James Howells.
Mined 8,000 BTC in 2009.
Accidentally threw the hard drive away in 2013.
Has spent the last 13 years trying to convince the city of Newport, Wales, to let him excavate a landfill.
The city keeps saying no.
He is still asking.
One man lost his Bitcoin to pepperoni.
One man lost his Bitcoin to a garbage truck.
Both are legends. Neither are us. We're still stacking. π
