I dont understand why Saylor would destroy his keys when he dies. What was the point of him becoming wealthy in life if he's not going to do something meaningful with his wealth when he passes? I don't know the dude's story, but build a library or something for Christ's sake.

You can’t destroy keys, only hide them. Just like Satoshi’s keys, they become a bounty proving that the Bitcoin network can safely store your wealth.

Well, let's just say let the data-medium that presently stores the keys stop persisting. I agree that all keys already exist in the mathematical sense, but I'm not trying to be abstract here. I'm being practical. Dumping all your capital into a volcano when you die is stupid.

You can make the utxo's unspendable. so if the keys are ever found, it wouldn’t matter..
