🤔How Has Bitcoin IMPACTED Your Life As A Person?
Bitcoin has IMPACTED life Globally, especially across Africa😲
But still, many don't get it...
As for me, Bitcoin has impacted my life BIG TIME! 🚀
Since discovering Bitcoin, I:
⚡️ Now see the world through a new lens
⚡️ Contribute selflessly to its adoption
⚡️ Have built a global network of amazing people
⚡️ Work with global initiatives and get paid instantly in Bitcoin — even when my bank account is frozen!
⚡️Educate and mentor new, curious minds about Bitcoin around the world.
⚡️ Founded
@story_bitcoin
to educate, empower, and inspire more people through Bitcoin
…And that’s just the beginning. 💥
Before Bitcoin, I was SHY. 😶
⚡️ I couldn’t speak in front of large crowds
⚡️ I struggled to express myself and connect with others
But now?
⚡️I continue to speak to new learners from around the world to teach Bitcoin
⚡️I even spoke at a Bitcoin conference in Nigeria 🎤
I'm growing. I'm learning 🧡
And I’m improving — not through paid courses, but by being part of this powerful movement. 🙌
With Bitcoin it can only get better 🫡
That’s why, when the idea came up…
We decided to host our very own Bitcoin Twitter Space!
A space where anyone can show up, share their experience, and speak from the heart — Not to bluff, but to inspire and empower others. 🧡
But Who's This Space For?
It’s for people who:
⚡️ Are hearing the word 'Bitcoin' for the very first time
⚡️ Have heard about it, but still haven’t taken action
⚡️ Believe Bitcoin is for everyone and a tool for social good and empowerment
⚡️ And finally… Its for everyone both New and Old to Bitcoin!
So, join us tomorrow (Wednesday) at 4PM WAT to share your story — and be inspired by the stories others will share. 🧡

Let’s connect, learn, and grow — together. ⚡️
Grassroots work shouldn’t have to fight for visibility just because it’s not flashy or well-connected.
We’re all here to make it happen!
Gradually, then suddenly 🔥
May we stack more, empower and onboard more people and businesses to Bitcoin.
4/ He spent years crowdfunding and pitching retrieval plans.
However, his proposals were rejected, and he didn't pursue any legal battles afterward.
One mistake.
One click.
One hard drive.
Hundreds of millions — lost forever🤯
5/ Moral of the Story?
It doesn't matter if you're holding life-changing Bitcoin or just few Satoshis— protect your keys!
Securing your Bitcoin private keys is crucial— losing them can lead to irreversible consequences.

3/ James didn’t give up.
He offered the city millions to allow him to excavate the landfill and cover all search costs.
However, the local council rejected his offer, citing safety and environmental concerns.
And the hard drive remains buried!
James still didn't give up 👇
2/ When Bitcoin's price exploded, James did the math:
That lost hard drive was now worth hundreds of millions dollars.
He immediately tried to recover it — but it was too late.
It had already been discarded and buried under tons of garbage in a vast landfill in Newport, UK😢
1/ James Howells was an early Bitcoin miner, and he had been mining Bitcoin since 2009 when it was practically worthless.
He managed to stack up 8,000 BTC on his computer.
But one day, during a house cleanup, he accidentally threw away his hard drive containing all 8,000 BTC🤯
A man accidentally lost 8,000 Bitcoin — worth over $750,000,000
Today, it’s still buried under tons of trash in a landfill — gone.
You won't believe how it happened:
This is the real story of JAMES HOWELLS — and it's WILD.
A Thread 🔥

Our first #Bitcoin Meetup of 2025 was a massive success!
From powerful conversations to practical learning sessions, the energy was incredible.
We had:
➼SATs giveaways
➼Fun Bitcoin games
➼Bitcoin 101 sessions
➼Cybersecurity awareness
➼Practical onboarding
➼Free Bitcoin stickers
We explored Bitcoin’s roots — from Satoshi and the Genesis Block to the Cypherpunk mission and the Whitepaper. We also tackled Cybersecurity 101, helping everyone stay safe while staying orange-pilled, amongst other topics.
Massive shoutout to nostr:nprofile1qqsglefmxagcu0d7nw4jdkgj9ysqrk9cst0fg44hkz9kzhu39hyt7jsh9lfqf for sponsoring our meetup and nostr:nprofile1qqsvmqxje4aa4grz6sxqlwpsukzhaf44aav3f65kcj8s2ts6rx992ysqw37j2 for the awesome stickers and signs — we appreciate you!
