Fair question.Why should my savings dissipate because you want to know how much is in play?
Do you have a thing of value? What is it worth you to find out? These are legitimate questions we all face.
I have a painting by Hattie K. Brunner that may be worth something. There is only one in the world and I have had it for over 50 years. I have kept it safe and maintained it at my expense. I would have to pay for an appraisal by a professional (one opinion) to get an idea for insurance purposes. It is always a cost. My only way to know for certain is to sell it but I can never trade it for an identical one.
If you have a thing of value held since 2011, it is related to scarcity (my opinion). It has nothing unique or creative or of particular labor or effort to distinguish it to anyone other than you. It's primary feature in the marketplace is scarcity. But there is no defined scarcity so it is at best speculative scarcity because no one knows what exists other than a likely maximum number. The degree of that speculative scarcity is not even able to be calculated due to many problems. This is a significant uncertainty working against value IMO.
It is to your advantage to establish the degree of scarcity. It is mostly you who benefits from knowing how much is in play
You merely have to establish in trade the presence of your thing of value. How you do that is up to you, trade it for like or use it or whatever. Only those that don't would see value decline and that fee might be used to insure (maybe) the value of those who have established value like you.
Transparency would be improved and in fact there is strong likelihood that the scarcity would grow because loss is a close friend of Murphy. Value would grow.
On another issue, I want nothing to do with the many questions like the Satoshi mystery just as no one needs to ponder Hattie K. Brunner. But I am a Tesla stockholder and recently I and likely others are drawn into it for better or worse. I might have far more of my saving in this thing of value than you shortly but how am I to know? Uncertainty and lack of transparency in an asset are not helpful to a stockprice IMO.
Thanks for you question.
