Please ban “Bitcoin lost in Welsh landfill” posts.

James Howells has only one goal: to get into as many news articles as possible every time Bitcoin hits a new milestone. The story generates clicks and this is good for him financially as well as for the click and karma farming idiots who keep reposting it a billion times.

There is no proof this man has ever even owned the Bitcoin he claims to have lost. Regardless, it’s scientifically impossible for a hard drive to have survived this long in an open air landfill.

This story is literally just clickbait for online articles, unless you’re from Newport then it’s a financial burden on you because the guy keeps trying to sue local authorities just to give “news” outlets a slightly different headline to repackage the story yet again. He sued the city for £500m just because newspapers like his story and give him credibility where he has zero. He also keeps trying to scam “investors” to fund his dig, which will never happen.

This person will keep rinsing and repeating until Bitcoin hits 1 million and beyond. The only way to deal with it is to stop talking about it and to brand James Howells posts as low effort clickbait. This scam operation has gone on for long enough.

If you don’t think it’s a scam: now the guy wants to start his own coin based on his fame. When the rugpulling starts and he finally gets rich from this (literal) rubbish then people might realise he’s a scammer.
