How did this transaction burn BTC?

All Zero X and Y Coordinates

An uncompressed public key results in 0x04 followed by two blocks of all zero bytes. This is similar to the all zero key, but does correctly encode the type of the key by using the 0x04 byte.

When such a key is used to derive a Pay-to-Public-Keyhash (P2PKH) address, the resulting address is 16QaFeudRUt8NYy2yzjm3BMvG4xBbAsBFM. While this address can be used to receive BTC, it is not possible to spend the BTC from this address, as a signature that can be validated against this public key cannot be created.

ECDSA Incompatibility

The Bitcoin Protocol relies on the secp256k1 elliptic curve for its cryptographic operations. This curve belongs to the larger family of elliptic curves.

Bitcoin also employs a number of hashing operations such as SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160. These operations are used in various places across the protocol, including in the creation of addresses and their corresponding Bitcoin Scripts.

In some cases, it is possible to select values that are invalid for the secp256k1 curve as inputs to the hashing operations. This can lead to unexpected results, such as the creation of addresses that can be used to receive BTC, but are never able to spend it.
