I also keep a backup of every private key I create to try to protect someone from themselves. Better to trust me than some random internet site or app.
i now wish i had kept the private keys of btc i gave away back in the day on paper wallets and said something like "if its not swept somewhere in 5 years i will take it back" as the few addys that i tracked havent moved them, some for like a decade. a tidy sum possibly wasted, possibly not.
hey we tried to spread the word. now it spreads itself.
A donation for the good of us all. I’m sure the number of lost coins is far greater than anyone realizes. I also think that is one of the drivers of Bitcoin’s price. I’m sure if everyone who ever lost BTC was able to recover and sell them, it would cause a massive crash. Luckily, instead all our sats are just more valuable.
