wow....... lol

didn't Logan say that they have like 2 or 3 bitcoins in their 'tip jar'? at $1,000 a pop, i wonder if they should just cash in on the $2,000-$3,000 now and use it for the trip to Europe so they can game at the top of a mountain.

That would buy you a really nice motherboard for your i3 ;) 

Saw that in /r/bitcoin earlier today; I bet a lot of people are going to swarm that dump, and just end up stinky and sad.

"threw away the hard drive that contained the key he needed to access the small fortune he'd saved up"

When did 7.5 mil become small?

No where in the article is there any proof that any of this is real, or that he actually had it. He doesnt seem too upset about it. Im upset about losing 200k worth of bitcoin, If i had lost 7 million, id be freaking out.

I don't believe this is even real.

so wait.. he spilt lemonade on it... then pulled the HDD out.. then threw that away after selling the computer for scrap? somehow.. i think this is a big laughable joke!

"This file that is literally less then a kilobyte could make me rich beyond my dreams, but oh well,  it probably won't."

Is it just me or is that dumb logic? 

Also there are now 7500 Bitcoins that will be lost forever and no one else can claim them.
