burning inactive accounts is not "obviously a good thing"


Posted from https://blurtlatam.com

We could discuss this all day I think... 🤷‍♂️. The airdrop was free tokens... They have been lying around here a very long time, if somebody has never logged into his/her acc....

Here in Germany for example, if you win in the lottery and you don't claim it within 6 weeks... It's gone!

Isn't that comparable ..?

not at all

the only difference between traditional banking institutions and payment processors and crypto currency

is ACCOUNT SOVEREIGNTY

if you throw away ACCOUNT SOVEREIGNTY

then crypto is just as big a scam as the banks are

Yeah, you do have a point there... BUT

If they have never logged into that account (meaning, that it has never actually been activated)....

Did it ever exist?
Can you even call it an account?

you're thinking with a corporate-mindset here

once you give something to someone

you can't take it back

I don't think that is corporate... If I were to make you a present, let us say a bicycle... and you don't come by and pick it up, does that mean I have to keep it in my cellar for you the rest of my life? ;)

yes, for example

i have been "air-dropped" bitcoin-cash and bitcoin-gold and super-bitcoin and bitcoin-private

i have never "logged on" to any of those accounts

but they are still mine

if and when i choose to spend them

I’m not endorsing unclaimed airdrop user wallet burn, that was more Jacob’s suggestion, I’m for unclaimed exchange balance burn because those are tokens that belong to users that were never honoured by exchanges and after so much time I doubt they have snapshots of which those funds belong to after 2+ years. So the best way to collectively benefit users would be to burn for the good of the greater ecosystem.

Btw i had some btc in a custodial wallet that never honoured the BCH airdrop and thus I didn’t get it and they enriched themselves.

exactly

notice how the bitcoin network doesn't pick specific accounts to freeze or burn
