People in the cryptocurrency space often say, "Not your keys, not your coins." This statement sounds powerful, and it is indeed true. But behind this phrase, there is another layer of mirror logic — "Only with your keys can you own your cryptocurrency."
If no one else knows how to access your wallet, then the moment you stop breathing, your cryptocurrency is effectively "non-existent." Of course, this does not mean literal disappearance — it still exists on the blockchain ledger, but from an economic perspective, it is no different from being burned.
So, how large is this "death buyer" scale?
Today, most cryptocurrency holders are quite young, with most between twenty-eight or twenty-nine and early forties.
There are very few holders beyond retirement age.
