James Howells pivots from landfill dig to tokenization in lost Bitcoin saga
"The token will not be backed by spendable Bitcoin, but by the idea of the lost coins, making the lost hard drive a symbolic vault. “We won’t need to access the 8,000 Bitcoin wallet because the new token is a representation of it — that’s the whole point,” he said. “The landfill becomes a vault no one can open, but everyone can see.” "

I've followed that story for a few years, I can't believe that he (1) threw away the computer, (2) had all his eggs in one basket, (3) didn't have a backup system of sorts. He could have used old fashioned paper codes and put a portion of each in separate bank safe deposit boxes, which is what the Winklevoss twins did in the early days, I think they used 4 different banks. I know a guy that lost his codes, he bought some Bitcoin in the Bitcoin pizza days, worth about 3 million now and physically lost the code. I'm no at that level, but still have several baskets, several hard and soft wallets, use exchanges and ETFs in IRAs. With the advent of Bitcoin ETFs it's very easy to simply buy it from Fidelity, Franklin or Blackrock.James Howells pivots from landfill dig to tokenization in lost Bitcoin saga

Saylor is brilliant, but sometimes his antics remind me of a drunken riverboat gambler.

More crypto news:
"The OCC's recent conditional approval of five crypto companies' applications for national trust bank charters is stoking lingering questions about whether those firms fit within the legal scope of the charter.
The OCC issued conditional approvals for five national trust charter applicants on Dec. 12, including First National Digital Currency Bank, Ripple National Trust Bank, BitGo Bank & Trust, Fidelity Digital Assets and Paxos Trust Company.
Banking groups are questioning whether the applicant firms have met the standards for the charter, which are supposed to serve a narrow, limited purpose."
