š $BTTC Token Burn Explained: Separating Fact from Fiction
1ļøā£ BTT ā BTTC Redenomination & Burn
BitTorrent (BTT) converted "old BTT" (BTTOLD) to the new BTTC token. As part of this, a large portion of the old supply was burned ā roughly 52.9% of 990 billion BTTOLD.
2ļøā£ Current Burn Reports
Reliable sources report that ~58ā60.4% of the original BTT supply has been destroyed (~580ā600 billion tokens out of ~990 billion).
3ļøā£ What āBurnedā Actually Means
Burned tokens are sent to addresses where they cannot be used or circulated. In BTTCās case, many burns occurred during redenomination ā tokens not swapped or intentionally retired.
ā ļø What Is Often Misreported
Thereās no credible confirmation that 80% of the new BTTC supply has been burned.
Some sources misinterpret ~60% of old BTT burned as 80% of total BTTC ā this is incorrect.
Redenomination burns differ from standard deflationary burns and may not immediately reduce circulating supply.
ā Conclusion
The official burn is closer to ~58ā60% of old BTT, not 80% of BTTC. Accuracy matters when tracking tokenomics.
