Title: bit of paper coin
Post by chimera on Feb 22nd, 2020 at 4:59am
Collins used the proceeds of dealing cannabis to buy 6,000 bitcoin, when the crypto-currency’s value was relatively low.
In early 2017 Clifton Collins, an Irish drug dealer, had a dilemma: where to hide the codes of his illicit £46m , Au$90m. bitcoin fortune.

His solution was to print them on to an A4 piece of paper and stash it in the aluminium cap of a fishing rod case kept at his rented home in Farnaught, Cornamona, County Galway. It seemed a good idea at the time.

Then three things happened. Police arrested Collins after finding €2,000 worth of cannabis in his car. He was sentenced to five years in jail. The landlord of the Galway house had it cleared out, resulting in Collins’ possessions being taken to a dump. The codes are now missing, meaning the accounts cannot be accessed. Waste from the dump goes to Germany and China to be incinerated. The fishing rod case has never been found.

The high court in Dublin ruled this week that Collins had forfeited the accounts because they were proceeds from crime.

$90m and he was renting with a piece of A4 paper. 
Q. How does Dublin take his blockchain bitcoin wallet?

"Just How Scarce is Gold?
According to a report in News18, a recent geological survey has uncovered more than 3,000 tonnes of gold in India. The government of the state of Uttar Pradesh is looking to auction the gold off before it’s even out of the ground. That's three times the current Gold Reserves of India -

According to a report by the World Gold Council, around 190,000 tonnes of gold have been mined globally to date. The recent discovery in India, therefore represents an instant two percent increase on total circulating supply of the asset.

There is a huge amount of gold many miles beneath every one of our feet. According to an ABC Science article, there is enough gold at the core of the earth to cover the planet entirely with a half metre layer.

That doesn’t consider gold that’s certainly out there in the universe. As NewsBTC recently previously reported, NASA detected a massive asteroid (between Mars and Jupiter) containing around $10 quadrillion worth of gold last year. The space agency also says it is going after the loot in 2022."

The gold layer will be used to reflect the sun's heat and avoid using ATM for cash. Bitcoin will either rise or fall in price.
