- Bitcoin dormienti da 99 anni vengono reimmessi in circolo – basta una transazione ogni 99 anni per evitarlo
The article proposes a solution to address Bitcoin's issue of permanently lost coins by re-introducing dormant wallets into circulation after 99 years of inactivity. It argues that 15-20% of Bitcoin's supply is already irretrievable due to lost keys or deceased owners, and suggests a 99-year threshold to avoid affecting living users while reclaiming abandoned assets.
