Cross-cutting reading of iconic Bitcoin losses by mechanism: forgotten password (Thomas), physical disposal (Howells), custody-collapse (QuadrigaCX, Mt. Gox, FTX). Tied to Bitcoin's irreversibility.

Start here if you know nothing about Bitcoin beyond the price. A five-part guide to what a bitcoin is, who keeps the record, how new coins appear, and why no one can cheat it.
Which Bitcoin assets are at risk from a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, and what the timeline and migration debate around post-quantum cryptography looks like.
Structural reading of how "Satoshi Nakamoto" remained unidentified across development, public phase, and withdrawal. Six layers: pseudonym, channels, language, env, genesis constants, handover.
Technical analysis of Bitcoin's genesis block from v0.1 source: hardcode auto-construction, the five-day gap as timestamp artifact, two-layer authorship reading, PoW headroom, key possession.
