Can you explain what a coin burn address is, and how it works in the context of cryptocurrency? I've heard it mentioned in a few discussions but I'm not entirely clear on the concept. Is it related to tokenomics or the supply of a particular cryptocurrency? And what are the potential benefits or drawbacks of using such an address?
