About 60-70% 20-30% (edited, some googling returned a lot lower numbers than I remembered) of Bitcoin is estimated to be out of rotation. They reside in wallets that haven’t been accessed in at least 10 years. Most About one million of these belong to the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto, the main developer of Bitcoin. He disappeared some 15 years ago, and nobody knows their real name, or even if it’s one person or more.
The same way Bitcoin keeps value; most of the supply never changes hand. In Bitcoin because the wallets are no longer accessible, in stock because the owners live comfortably on dividends alone.
Finished Martha Wells’ Murderbot Diaries series, which were great. I still think it’s a pity that it’s mostly novella’s though. Have since read the first two books of the “old man’s war” series by John Scalzi, and I’m on the third chapter of the third one “the last colony”. So still in a SF binge.
But that makes sense because I’m a warm blooded creature.
It probabily doesn’t. Most likely it’s because what you grew up with. Like drinking water with ice if you’re from the US, or carbonated water if you’re from Germany. Anyway, totally off topic.
How does it feel to be a minority?
