What happened

A magazine interview with Burntoshi, Clyde, Gyp, Waldo, FalseFaucet and BTCFakDaBanks describes a voluntary bitcoin-burning sidechain and its disputed cultural meaning. Burntoshi explicitly calls it optional and separate from demand for stacking. The interview’s assertions about Satoshi’s death, keys or particular historical burns are not established facts and are not adopted here.

From the sources

Why burnchain can use the same sats as Stackchain: it decouples the demand for burning from the demand for stacking, so that burnchain remains a completely optional and unobtrusive side chain.https://www.stackchainmagazine.net/a-conversation-with-burnchainers/
