[On This Day in History: Satoshi Nakamoto Responded 16 Years Ago That Lost Bitcoin Is 'A Donation to All Holders'] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on June 21, on this day in history, 16 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto responded to a community user's question about how to address the issue of lost Bitcoin by stating: 'Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.' Recently, an anonymous individual and their Wyoming-registered company are attempting to have a New York court rule that Bitcoin owned by Bitcoin's founder, Satoshi Nakamoto (as well as many other cryptocurrencies), constitutes abandoned property. This could have profound implications for the legal definition of self-custodied Bitcoin assets and spark a long-term debate over whether 'dormant addresses equate to unclaimed property.'
