Don't ask questions

>jews

there is that address in btc blockchain but you don't have the key

If its an invalid address its ends up coming back to you. If its an address that's actually syntax appropriate it actually arrives and whoever ends up claiming that address(who knows if/when that'd happen) they'll have a nice little surprise waiting for them.

the jews have it

Are you saying I should start endlessly making addresses until I hit jackpot?

satoshi thanks you for your donation

Yes
Only a few billion years and you'll hit it big time

Nice, so far my best chance at becoming rich. Can you imagine how much bitcoin will be worth in a few billion years?

The network will not let you send to a "non-bitcoin address" you fucking nig.

However, if you send to a real bitcoin address for which you don't have the private key, then the network acknowledges the address as still holding the coins, but no one will ever be able to move them.

That's the short answer, but the reality is, those coins are sent "over the rainbow" to "The Collective" who use it to fund drug trafficking, child sex slavery and murder for hire. Much of this is described in Satoshi's black paper, if you haven't read it you are a casual. Also, those bitcoins will continue to be chargeable to you, so the IRS will come to collect taxes on them every single year, they are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, moreover you will be criminally responsible for all illegal activities tied to those coins, so you will in all likelihood end up being murdered in prison.

>Only a few billion

The number is a little larger than a few billion, more like a few billion + 50 zeros strapped on the end of that figure

Every hodler in the world of Bitcoin thanks you.

Would legit take you until the end of the universe to find a single working address and even then it probably will have nothing on it

It goes to the exchange.

It goes in the bitbucket.

Thanks for reminding me of the time I sent 300 dollars worth of bitcoin to my usdtether wallet

down the drain forever

>The network will not let you send to a "non-bitcoin address" you fucking nig.

I don't think this is exactly true, because unfortunately, USDT addresses are same as BTC.

So you definitely can send to a valid USDT address as well as a valid but not "used" BTC address...

They're left hanging in the blockchain. They can be recovered, but it takes time.
Here's a site that does it.

what did he mean by this

That doesn't disprove his point at all. A BTC address not being currently used does not make it invalid.

...

But then, if the network recognizes that USDT addy as a BTC addy, won't the private USDT key be able to generate the BTC transaction and spend on the BTC chain?

Nice read. It misses one element, which is insecurity.
I see two types of racists - the ones that are successful will occasionally drop a rant when it's relevant to the conversation.
The ones that -identify- as racists are usually low-rank degenerates, so they cling to it trying to fill their need to feel superior in some way, any way.

>Clicking that shit
