The Cryptocurrency lost forever. From some articles i've been reading i could extract this interesting information, seems like 20% of all circulating supply of BTC hasn't move in a decade, and for the nature of the cryptocurrency world, probably it's lost forever and will never return to market. It's amazing. I don't think when our grandfathers put some money "under the mattress" this can happen too. But look at the value. Im like OMFG ----------------- "Bitcoin owners who've passed away account for some of the inaccessible Bitcoin. When the 30-year old founder of Canadian cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX died, he also took with him the private keys to around $190 million worth of various cryptocurrencies, including close to 1,000 BTC. One Reddit user recently found an old computer belonging to his late brother, who owned 533 Bitcoin—but the device's hard drive was missing. Although it's impossible to say exactly how much Bitcoin has been directly lost as a result of negligence or plain misfortune, it is likely to be in the tens of thousands at the very least. If you take a more relaxed approach and consider any Bitcoin that hasn't moved for more than five years to be lost, then around 20% of all Bitcoin fits into this category. According to a June 2020 report by blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, around 3.7 million BTC hasn't been touched for at least half a decade—that's around $40.6 billion worth of Bitcoin that might never be moved again. Crypto data firm Glassnode estimates that about 3 million Bitcoin are lost forever." ------------------------------- Source: https://decrypt.co/37171/lost-bitcoin-3-7-million-bitcoin-are-probably-gone-forever #Cryptocurrency

estaria re bueno que hagan algo con ese dinero que nunca mas nadie va a mover, una cuestion de decir "si en 5 años no dan prueba de vida, vuelve a circulacion"
Claro, pero estarías rompiendo lo básico de las criptomonedas. Estarías queriendo regular lo que no debería ser regulado ni centralizado. Es propiedad privada y hay que aceptar la pérdida! Sino, volverías a un sistema de centralización solo que con otros actores!
Claro tenés totalmente la razón. yo justamente hoy estaba pensando en que deberían inventar un sistema de monedas que no se pueda vender por así decir que sea un sistema cerrado de generación de monedas y que tengan un valor pero que no se puedan adquirir mediante la compra que sean una especie de monedas única que se obtienen por realizar tareas no sé si me doy a entender. Tenés telegram ? Te paso el mio
Sí creo que te entiendo, pero para correr esos nodos de la moneda necesitas mineros o gente que la corra que va a querer su parte. Y eventualmente se va a centralizar, porque tendemos a la centralización por una cuestión de tranquilidad y orden. La gente quiere libre mercado pero cuando es libre es libre para todos y pasa de todo y te tenés que callar y no regularlo. Y es difícil jajaja No Gordon no uso telegram!
