Co-director of the exchange Kraken Arjun Sethi recklessly dumped $300-400 million worth of bitcoins at the current exchange rate.
One of the developers who worked at my first company gave me a laptop with all the bitcoins he’d mined stored on it. That was in 2009, and I threw it away. I think those BTC would be worth $300 or $400 million today. рассказал Sethi on his mistake during a recent interview.

Full-fledged Bitcoin trading launched in 2010, and in 2009, no one knew how much coins were worth. That’s why, in May 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, using a cryptocurrency now worth $1,17 billion. Therefore, it’s safe to assume Arjun threw away his laptop containing at least 2,564 BTC.
Like Briton James Howells, whose girlfriend threw it in the landfill A hard drive containing 7,500 BTC has been lost, leaving Sethi devastated by the loss of a fortune. Arjun and James find some consolation in the fact that they have many brothers in misfortune. This is arguable given that the owners of the 1,75 million wallets storing Bitcoin have shown no activity for the past 10 years or longer.
Will there be a bubble in the market? If we look 15 years out, I would say no. But if we consider quarterly data, I would say yes. Bubbles appear in the market all the time, he said. Sethi nand the question is what the future of cryptocurrency will be.
