How much egg is gonna be on his face when he finds it one day behind a cabinet drawer?

All this time he could've thought up another magnificent way to make money but he chose to stay in the past, longing for something probably already completely degraded, destroyed or recycled, even if it's 500M...

How would you make 500m if you'd already beaten the house once?

This article looks like someone "wrote" it using speech-to-text and didn't double-check their work.

the whole thing could be for not (instead of "the whole thing could be for naught.")

In a statement to Whales Online

Of course, if it turns out that whales have banded together to make their own website, I'll stand corrected.

Well this guy would have been a whale if he'd backed up his keys.

Sometimes you can find scimitars in there. You can chop a camel right in its hump and drink all of its milk right off the tip of those things.

I've heard about this dude since like...2018. At some point you have to move on. Shit like that will consume you, and it's just not worth losing years of your life over it. Talk about a needle in a haystack.

Well, it was. 11 years of landfill leachate have probably taken their toll, not to mention that it was probably crushed immediately under literal tons of soggy rainwater trash.

Life with friends and family is much more valuable than some extra 000s. Money can't bring them back once they are gone. Nor can it be taken to the next life.

Okay, I see that. But it's 500m tough...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay, there's no chance he's getting it back though...

It would be so fucking funny if these bitcoins never existed and this is all one big ruse to trick crypto investors into excavating a landfill.

For $5M you can have all the chicks that you want... I joke that my wife keeps me in check and I keep her in cash.
