> Disgusting Weird to hear you say this. Many of your HN comments on Bitcoin demonstrate a rather collectivist take on crypto. Yet this feature of Bitcoin (lost Bitcoin are effectively fairly shared among all participants) is probably the most "fair" feature of the system. It'd sure help if you gave some sort of rationale. |

I was taken aback by Pomp choosing to comment on Mircea's life in terms of how his death would personally enrich him. I've edited to leave this note. I suspect he realized the optics himself as he has since deleted the tweet. To me it read as "Mircea died huh? Well good news, our bitcoin's more valuable now."
I've nothing against the mechanism Pomp was pointing out, per se, other than I suspect any random saunter down the time line results in all coins eventually lost. I'm also aware of the counter-argument that infinite divisibility mitigates this.
Thanks for calling out the lack of clarity.
