When you burn some of your bitcoins, you make a pro rata contribution to all of humanity. Burning a portion of your keys should be an ethical standard among Bitcoiners.

I burned some, but I was being stupid.

Me too, but I meant intentionally.

Lol

you go first

I'm not in favor of this, it doesn't scale on centuries.

It probably won’t scale, but I can see many ppl burning a portion of their keys. And some will die with their entire stack without passing it on to anyone.

I think the unintentional burn rate is enough. Also time locking transactions is a really cool solution.

Nothing says "I'm a selfish HODLing m-f*cker" more than taking it with you to the grave. 🙄

Why not donate it, if you care about humanity? Better yet, do it now and watch it change lives. 🧡

You might be right but when Bitcoin’s total supply decreases, it ultimately benefits everyone.
