Clever. Of course then they wouldn’t be making money. Anyway, what’s truly “provably” burned?

Might as well send them an individualized clip of a Lincoln or Jackson being set on fire.

A provably burn address has an improbable chance of having a known private key.

Here are well-known burn addresses for bitcoin and ethereum:

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/111111111111111111111... https://etherscan.io/address/0x00000000000000000000000000000...

Just send crypto to these addresses and they will be forever lost.

Also this one for bitcoin. Just send some bitcoin here and you will totally lose it. Guaranteed.

Please. Please send bitcoin here. I promise you won’t get it back.
