BTC price goes up and this storry apears again and again. All I can say this guy pretends to be cool. His bitcoins at dump. Oh Yeah Man, right so cool. If you want to be famous you have to make up something like "I could use money in fight with covid-19". Sure that hard drive in a time capsule not getting rusty waterproof and can hold from -20°C to +56°C

"Man spends £210 million on lesson about backups" isn't such a good headline.

The man did not spend this sum. Rather, the £210 million are opportunity cost, which the man paid.

That's even worse of a headline
