Burned XRP or other cryptos?

Have you by chance burned any XRP, or otherwise any other cryptos, either willingly or not?

So far, I have burned by accident 803 XRP when it was roughly 3.5 cents each (CAD$). This was due to not backing up a password to an encrypted Truecrypt container file which was comprised of 1337 5P34K.

Also, my one desktop computer in 2011 suffered a corrupt Master Boot Record, which burned 5 Bitcoin and change after no possible way to recover any of the data on the disks. Ì believe that this is when BTC had hit its ATH of 42$ each in the CAD$ markets.

Interesting topic! Fingers crossed, all fine so far here.

On every chain, there seems to be a considerable amount of tokens that are unrecoverable. Double-digit percentage of Bitcoin are lost forever.

This only makes the coins more valuable. You should be praising everybody that burns coins 😁
