Hey, I found something pretty interesting by looking at on-chain data. Do you know when everyone says that Vitalik Buterin is the biggest individual holder of Ethereum? Well, it might not be quite like that. I thought it was kind of crazy when I saw that there’s actually a guy named Rain Lohmus who has more ETH than Vitalik himself. Like, 250,000 ETH, just imagine. That’s over 530 million dollars just in this currency. But here comes the plot twist nobody expected. This Rain Lohmus lost the private keys. Yes, you read that right. One of the biggest crypto fortunes simply disappeared into digital limbo. Locked forever. Meanwhile, Vitalik Buterin is in second place with his 224,000 ETH, but at least he has access and can move the assets to support the ecosystem. The difference is huge, right? The thing that caught my attention the most is that this completely changes how we think about the supply of Ethereum. If massive fortunes are stuck in lost wallets, the actual circulating supply is much smaller than the official numbers show. Tools like Arkham are revealing these things that used to be hidden. In Web3, the truth is recorded on the blockchain, not in rumors. It makes a big difference in understanding the real value of the asset, you know? What kind of fortune do you think Vitalik Buterin could make with these assets if he wanted to? Comment below what you think about this forced scarcity of ETH.
