        If its part of an idle stack not taking part in trading, it does not. Imagine the dev having enough so that dumping 1% of their stash tanks the price to 1% of current value. Burning this 1% makes no difference.

                It’s worth 1 million if you can find someone prepared to give you one million dollars for it. If you can’t find someone to give you one million dollars for it then it isn’t worth 1 million.

                The whole reason that currency is worth the amount that we say it is is because everyone accepts that it is a currency and and that it can be used for goods and services. A random cryptocurrencies produced by an individual who may or may not have GTA 6 game files don’t have that consensus.

          It’s not worth anything. A dollar sign next to a randomly generated big number does not mean that that randomly generated big number could be converted into US dollars or any other currency.

          They are just unallocated crypto tokens, deleting these simply increases the value of the ones that haven’t been deleted, no value has actually been lost. Is the dev was deleting tokens from an active wallet it would be different.
