Fun fact: the first 50 BTC ever mined can never be spent 🔒
Bitcoin's genesis block went live on January 3, 2009. Its 50 BTC reward was never added to the list of spendable coins, so those coins are stuck forever.
The block also carries a line of text:
"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
A newspaper headline about bank bailouts, written into block #0. People still send small amounts to that address as a tribute, and those coins are stuck too.
