   The project no longer uses that Bitcoin wallet for bounties.

      What does that mean for that donation, and why is the wallet still listed on the website?

         I think that a large part of the priced in "value" of Bitcoin is just lots and lots of Bitcoin that nobody can access anymore.

            Bitcoin's supposed to be "liquid" but I'm wondering what happens when there's a forced liquidity event.

               I mean, it's the opposite of that; it's forced illiquidity when people lose access to their keys. There is no way to gain access to those coins and you cannot "force" liquidity on the bitcoin protocol.
