Episode Details

In the early days of Bitcoin it was just a strange internet experiment.

A man named James mined thousands of coins on an old laptop.
 They weren’t worth much. Maybe a few dollars.

Then one day he threw the hard drive away.

Years later Bitcoin exploded in value.

Those forgotten coins would eventually be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Somewhere beneath thousands of tonnes of rubbish in a landfill in Wales, that tiny hard drive may still be buried.

In Part 1 we tell the story of the mistake — how it happened, how Bitcoin quietly grew in the background, and the moment James realised what he had lost.

I built a free calculator that shows exactly what consistent monthly Bitcoin investing could do to your wealth over 5, 10 or 20 years. It's called the Steady Stack Calculator — punch in what you can afford to put in each month and see what the numbers actually look like at the other end. Most people are genuinely surprised. You can also download the 10 Bitcoin Mistakes to Avoid document completely free at the same link.
