Millions of Bitcoins, mined in the early days when the currency was almost worthless, haven't been used in over a decade.

While some owners might be "diamond hands" holding onto their investment, others likely lost access to their wallets or simply forgot about them.

This forgotten fortune represents a significant portion of the total Bitcoin supply, and experts predict the rate of these wallets reactivating will slowly decline over time.

What do you think?
