my head dizzy thinking about this question, Simple question but difficult to answer, bitcoin used in worldwide and bitcoin is anonym or digitalcurrency

60% of bitcoins mined has never moved. If those turn out to be lost keys that would be interesting.

The mysterious ques? but i think that the founder of BITCOIN and the other specialist in bitcoins would also dont know about the
forever lost bitcoins. But hte main thing is that if they people dont know about this how would i tell the lost ones.

since i have to guess so the number which you can not count is the right answer.

i dont think that anyone will be able to answer that question, there are so many ppl using btc that there is just a possible chance of someone forgotting the password or anything.
It' is sad that these btc are kind of unrecovarable ;/
Just everyone knows that there is a loss because of the dark Bitcoin Bitcoin accounts and purses, but the number of the rooms themselves will still be unknown.

I would even claim that lost keys will be one of the biggest price drivers for Bitcoin in future. The more users use Bitcoin, the more often Bitcoin will be lost. Even if they lose only a few Satoshi. It adds up with time. Therefore, since the number is limited, the price will continuously increase.

i think this is their mistake because not keep their private key..

I dont know how many are lost forever but i do believe that something near 2 milion of bitcoin are lost, some early adopters histories were the biggest lost of bitcoins, and all days someone forget to store keys from their wallets, or pc burnings. This should make bitcoin more precious since those does reduce the supply.

The worst part is that most of these inactive accounts are accounts from the beginning of the Bitcoin era, which had a lot of money in them because the price was small and the mining was easy to do. Probably a few hundreds thousands..?
Most likely this is what happened. Just one thing is not clear, what is the interest at the time was engaged in collecting and Bitcoin. If their number is really large, then it is bad.

Well, I am not an expert but I think there is no way which will accurately give us the figure of lost bitcoins. We can only figure out assumptions based on some activities such as proof of burn and similar type of losing coins but we cannot confidently prove that any unused bitcoins or wallets are cold storage or lost ones so I think no one can answer this question with accuracy, all we can have is assumptions.

My most terrible of losing bitcoin when I do trading and was lose a part of My capital money. It was happened when the price of bitcoin growing up highly and the price of other crypto currency goes down.
Yeah few months ago I change my btc into eth and unfortunately i lose my money because the price of alternative coin also down.
yeah that's the inherent risks in trading, sometimes occur kadnag prices do not correspond to what you want, you have decided to sell their loss and other potential buying coin and accept a loss or hold it until prices rise again, it's all a difficult choice

Bitcoin lost because users are lost password, we know before online wallet released is very difficult to make wallet. I think more than 30% bitcoin lost forever, this source is from quoted users that lost bitcoin.

I lost 0.05btc just in the last two weeks to it not being confirmed.
Can not ever get those back. Not ever. Undecided

Strange, as I know the BTCs back to your address if the transaction fee paid is very low after some time. If it didn't back to your address, it could be because you sent to the wrong address. Next time, set the average fees and confirm twice the address you are sending your coins.
