For $5M you can have all the chicks that you want… I joke that my wife keeps me in check and I keep her in cash.

500 million justifies using some very fancy data recovery means, as long as he’s sure it’s the right drive.

Its not like i am naive to economy but i cant help but see this:

Ape spends time and energy to convinces other apes to spend time, energy and resources, potentially sacrifice some of the environment and cause hinder to the local population. To dig for a metallic object discarded a decade ago so they can with some hope extract a codestring of information which will unlock some other strings of 0 and 1 that we then collectively agree on means this person has x many digital object which we all agree on has x economic value.

And if they succeed they will al smile because this is winning.

Here is sm either more radical/normal, depending on your perspective. Take the drive that has the wallet/or make it a physical one. Place it in a museum and name it “x Bitcoins”. Value recovered and nothing was lost.

Humans are weird.

All this time he could’ve thought up another magnificent way to make money but he chose to stay in the past, longing for something probably already completely degraded, destroyed or recycled, even if it’s 500M…

How would you make 500m if you’d already beaten the house once?

Sometimes you can find scimitars in there. You can chop a camel right in its hump and drink all of its milk right off the tip of those things.

Drives probably rusted away to nothing by now, even if he miraculously could find it the odds of getting anything from it are probably less than him winning the lottery.

Technicians can work wonders as long as the seals to the spinny bits are intact. It would be cool to see even if it’s just bitcoin

And if he does find it, 500m will pay for a lot of technicians

Technicians that will probably demand a commission not a flat rate. Might be wrong on that because I doubt he’ll find it.

Landfills are huge and a metal detector would be completely useless in this scenario. He has absolutely no idea where on the landfill it would be how deep down it would be or even if it’s definitely in there. Don’t a lot of places like this pull out anything that might be useful and sell them?
