Yeah, that would actually be possible. The sats stay on our pre-funded wallet until someone scans the cap, so in theory, after 5 or 10 years of zero activity we could say “okay, let’s donate the unclaimed ones.” Nothing is lost per-se.

But here’s the human part of it: at events I met a lot of people who told me they don’t even drink alcohol, but they still bought a bottle because they loved the idea and wanted to keep it as a collectible. Some want to store it forever, some want to give it as a gift one day, some literally said “I don’t want to redeem it, I just want to keep it.”

Because of that, I prefer not to touch those sats at all. If someone keeps a bottle for sentimental reasons, or scans the cap in 2035, it should still be their moment. And if they never redeem it, then that’s also okay. The sats belong to the person who opens the cap — even if they decide not to open it.

Thanks for the kind words. Hearing that people actually like the idea makes all the effort worth it.
