Bitcoin-Knappheit größer als gedacht – bis zu 37 Prozent sind für immer blockiert
Durch verlorene Schlüssel, vergessene Passwörter oder Todesfälle sind bis zu 37 Prozent aller Bitcoin blockiert.
Diese „Geister-Coins“ machen die Marktkapitalisierung kleiner als ausgewiesen und verstärken gleichzeitig die Knappheits-Logik, die Bitcoin als Wertspeicher stützt.

"And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights. Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever." Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. Telegram was founded in 2013 by two Russian brothers, Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Now safely in France with his spouse and three of his children, Kliuchnikov scrolls through Telegram to learn about the devastation happening in his home country.
