比特币亿万富翁迈克尔塞勒支持死后焚烧比特币密钥的想法

除非有人访问密钥，否则死者私人钱包的内容（包括持有的 BTC）很可能会永远丢失。

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.

著名的比特币 (BTC) 持有者、MicroStrategy 董事长 Michael Saylor 最近表示，他认为死后烧毁私钥是对所有其他 BTC 持有者按比例的贡献。

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.

这一声明与比特币真正稀缺性的概念相关，随着时间的推移，比特币的稀缺性会受到比特币损失的影响。虽然比特币的最大供应量上限为 2100 万个，但由于地址丢失，大量比特币丢失。这些丢失的硬币永远不会再被移动，从而增加了比特币的价值。

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 的声明还让人想起比特币创始人中本聪钱包中持有的 100 万比特币，这些比特币自网络早期以来一直处于休眠状态。关于中本聪的身份一直存在猜测，一些人认为可能是哈尔芬尼，他收到了比特币区块链上发送的第一个比特币。

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.

然而芬尼否认了这些说法，并于 2014 年去世。尽管如此，一些人仍然猜测芬尼由于早期参与网络而参与了比特币的创建。

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.

如果更多的比特币亿万富翁选择在死后烧毁自己的私钥，那么比特币的底价将继续上涨，从长远来看，使得互联网上易手的剩余比特币变得更有价值。

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.

截至撰写本文时，Saylor 拥有 17,732 枚 BTC，按当前市场价格计算，价值超过 17 亿美元。根据最新数据，已知的 BTC 亿万富翁不到 30 人。

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

塞勒表达了他希望留下影响机构比特币采用的遗产。
