California wildfires burn 1.5 million Bitcoins
The California wildfires that shocked the world have now caused more than 16,000 hectares of land to be burned, including at least 12,000 buildings, including a considerable number of celebrity luxury homes. Wildfires are caused by climate change such as the whipping effect of water ripples and seasonal dry and strong winds such as the Santa Ana wind. It is known that most of the assets of the wealthy are stored in encrypted form, and when evacuating the fire area, they did not take away mnemonics or hardware wallets in time. At present, preliminary statistics show that the number of bitcoins that will remain permanently on the chain due to the California wildfires is about 1.5 million.
The data of 1.5 million burned coins is obviously exaggerated, accounting for more than 7% of the total Bitcoin. Logically, the possibility of confirmation is extremely low, but it is undeniable that a group of wealthy people’s mnemonics are indeed lost. Of course, in addition, for example, the famous director Feng, two mansions and inestimable collections were completely destroyed in the fire.
