比特幣億萬富翁邁克爾塞勒支持死後焚燒比特幣密鑰的想法

除非有人存取密鑰，否則死者私人錢包的內容（包括持有的 BTC）很可能會永遠丟失。

Prominent Bitcoin (BTC) holder and MicroStrategy chairman Michael Saylor recently stated that he believes burning private keys after death is a pro rata contribution to all other BTC holders.

著名的比特幣 (BTC) 持有者、MicroStrategy 董事長 Michael Saylor 最近表示，他認為死後燒毀私鑰是對所有其他 BTC 持有者的貢獻。

This statement ties in with the concept of Bitcoin’s real scarcity, which is impacted by the loss of BTC over time. While the maximum supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million, a significant amount of BTC is lost due to lost addresses. These lost coins are never moved again, contributing to Bitcoin’s value.

這項聲明與比特幣真正稀缺性的概念有關，隨著時間的推移，比特幣的稀缺性會受到比特幣損失的影響。雖然比特幣的最大供應量上限為 2,100 萬個，但由於地址遺失，大量比特幣遺失。這些丟失的硬幣永遠不會再被移動，從而增加了比特幣的價值。

Saylor’s statement also brings to mind the 1 million BTC held in Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet, which have remained dormant since the network’s early days. There is ongoing speculation about the identity of Satoshi, with some believing it could be Hal Finney, who received the first BTC sent on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Saylor 的聲明也讓人想起比特幣創始人中本聰錢包中持有的 100 萬比特幣，這些比特幣自網路早期以來一直處於休眠狀態。關於中本聰的身份一直存在猜測，有些人認為可能是哈爾芬尼，他收到了比特幣區塊鏈上發送的第一個比特幣。

However, Finney denied these claims and passed away in 2014. Despite this, some still speculate that Finney was involved in the creation of Bitcoin due to his early involvement in the network.

然而芬尼否認了這些說法，並於 2014 年去世。

If more Bitcoin billionaires choose to burn their private keys after death, the floor price of BTC will continue to rise, making the remaining coins exchanging hands on the internet even more valuable in the long run.

如果更多的比特幣億萬富翁選擇在死後燒毀自己的私鑰，那麼比特幣的底價將繼續上漲，從長遠來看，使得網路上易手的剩餘比特幣變得更有價值。

At the time of writing, Saylor owned 17,732 BTC, valued at over $1.7 billion at current market prices. According to recent data, there are less than 30 known BTC billionaires.

截至撰寫本文時，Saylor 擁有 17,732 枚 BTC，以當前市場價格計算，價值超過 17 億美元。根據最新數據，已知的 BTC 億萬富翁不到 30 人。

Saylor has expressed his desire to leave a legacy of having influenced institutional Bitcoin adoption.

塞勒表達了他希望留下影響機構比特幣採用的遺產。
