To be precise, in the real world, nothing really gets destroyed - just disassembled - maybe into atoms.
LOL - talk about going to the nth degree.
but seriously, I was looking at the heist thread...

and several of the heists claim the coins were either destroyed or effectively destroyed. I can understand the latter because they can be made inaccessible, but how about the former? How can Bitcoins be destroyed?
