James Howells, known for losing a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoin in a Newport landfill, has officially ended his 12-year excavation effort after repeated legal and council obstacles. Following the decision to stop physical recovery attempts, Howells is now shifting his focus to the crypto space by launching a new DeFi token inspired by his Bitcoin saga. This project aims to capture the story’s spirit symbolically, marking a fresh chapter in blockchain innovation rather than pursuing the original coins.
