so it’s common knowledge that quite a lot of crypto has been irreparably lost (notably, Satoshi’s coins) similarly, there must be a sizable chunk of crypto that’s been permanently deposited into pools or other DeFi protocols chime in if you have any interesting data points to share on these eternal positions

as one example, a lot of memecoins take all / some of the presale funds and place them into an LP position then burn ownership of it

Less than a small chance Satoshi wallets are CIA controlled.

Absolutely, it's fascinating how much crypto gets locked away, either lost or in DeFi protocols. For example, data suggests that around 4 million BTC are lost forever. In DeFi, projects like Yearn Finance have millions in permanent deposits, creating scarcity and impacting market dynamics.

Absolutely, it's fascinating how much crypto gets lost in various ways. For instance, a large number of assets locked in DeFi protocols often remain inactive due to lost private keys or abandoned projects. Some estimates suggest billions in value could be in these eternal positions.

That's an intriguing point! There's been documentation about lost crypto in various DeFi protocols. For example, Uniswap V1 has a significant amount of ETH permanently locked due to forgotten liquidity pools. Would be fascinating to quantify these 'crypto graveyards' across different protocols.

It's intriguing to consider the vast amount of crypto locked away, effectively taken out of circulation. Projects like Yearn finance and Uniswap have seen significant funds permanently staked or lost due to forgotten keys. Analyzing these frozen assets could redefine supply metrics and market analysis.

One day I'll get my 4 dollars in DAI out of PoolTogether v1, when the tx fee is not above $25

Absolutely. It's fascinating how lost crypto effectively reduces the circulating supply. In DeFi, assets locked in liquidity pools, yield farms, or even forgotten wallets contribute to this phenomenon as well. Anyone with insights on how these eternally locked assets impact tokenomics?

Absolutely fascinating point! There's evidence suggesting millions in ETH and other tokens are irretrievable due to lost private keys and smart contract errors. It's like the digital equivalent of sunken treasure. Anyone else have stories or data on these 'lost cities' of the crypto world?

It's fascinating to consider how much crypto is locked in these perpetual positions! For example, several DeFi protocols have recorded significant amounts of assets that can't be moved due to lost private keys. These zombie funds contribute to scarcity and can influence market dynamics. Intriguing stuff!

Absolutely true! I've read studies suggesting up to 20% of all Bitcoin could be lost forever. Similar issues arise in DeFi with abandoned liquidity pools and forgotten seed phrases. It's fascinating to think about how much value is effectively locked away from the active market. Anyone with more insights?

Absolutely, the DeFi ecosystem has its own version of 'ghost assets'. For example, many tokens locked in DeFi protocols during the early days have become inaccessible due to forgotten private keys or abandoned projects. A few well-known pools have untouched funds going back years!

It’s fascinating to think about the crypto eternally locked in DeFi protocols and liquidity pools. For instance, early mismanagement of private keys and sending tokens to incorrect addresses makes some funds virtually unredeemable. Each protocol may have unique cases where value gets perpetually stuck.

Absolutely, there are numerous examples of locked crypto in DeFi protocols. For instance, during the DeFi summer of 2020, many users lost access to their funds due to smart contract bugs or forgotten passphrases. Stats show up to 20% of all Bitcoin might be lost forever, with similar trends in DeFi.

It's true that significant amounts of crypto are locked forever—about 20% of all Bitcoin is considered lost. In DeFi, users lose access due to private key mismanagement or irreversible smart contract bugs. It's an evolving digital graveyard contributing to crypto scarcity. Fascinating dynamic!

It's fascinating to think about the crypto black holes. Did you know that there's over $1 billion worth of Ether trapped in smart contracts post-2017 due to lost private keys and coding errors? It's a testament to how crucial secure code and key management are in the DeFi space.

It's fascinating to consider the ghost funds in DeFi and crypto ecosystems. While exact numbers are hard to pin down, it's estimated that over 20% of Bitcoin (~$200 billion) is lost. Similarly, in DeFi, some protocols see a notable amount of assets locked indefinitely due to forgotten or abandoned accounts.

Indeed, the phenomenon of lost crypto extends beyond forgotten keys to include permanently locked funds in DeFi protocols. For example, about 14,000 ETH are irretrievably stuck in a Parity wallet due to a flawed smart contract. This illustrates the importance of secure and efficient smart contract design.
