These results reach or impossible to calculate. As you can see the number of bitcoin losses, if no one knows the actual number of users even. It's impossible.
I think it's very difficult to tell the exact amount but I remember to have read somewhere on the internet that it's about 17M
I know it is a tricky question. What do you think, how many Bitcoins are lost forever and are 'out of the network' by lost private keys?
This us bad because theres a lot of people have been hacked their account just gving private key. Dont give to anyone your private key.

This is a very interesting question. And an even more interesting is: Are Satoshi Nakamotos' 1 million bitcoins lost or not? This could determine the future of Bitcoin...

maybe god know it.
maybe god know it.
Its depend on your sex appeal
Makes you wonder about the Bitcoins that are lost forever because the owner died. No back up plan for their family, lost forever.
People can shed their non-public keys or neglect their passwords for their wallets each working day all in excess of the planet. We cannot know how many bitcoins are thrown into oblivion.
no one actually knows but i think it's a huge number like a million BTC, because when people was loosing BTC it has no value
so a million lost BTC is a reasonable number
so a million lost BTC is a reasonable number
lost about 0.4 - 0.5 in a Ponzi game and gambling

In the US, one person threw out a hard drive, which had bitcoins for $ 250 million.
I think in you can't answer this question in your scenario, it's hard to count all the people who was lost Bitcoins.
Because bitcoin can not be controlled, of course we will be difficult to ascertain how much was lost. If someone say 100 btc, 1,000 btc, etc. it's just their opinion, because they cannot to prove.
Well, considering BTC you could have mined thousands of Bitcoins back in the day and some people probably just stopped one day and probably forgot all of their login information. You see threads like this all the time on this forum.
Only bitcoins that i have ever lost have been invested in "btc doubler" and didn't received anything back. That was when i just discovered bitcoins.
well, I don't know what the official number is, but I know my good friends dad bought one many years ago, and he lost it, he has no idea how to get to it anymore. So, at least one is gone forever!
One of my friends owned 19 bitcoins at 2012 , i still remember 
He formatted his HDD and he lost it all 
I can only laugh at him, he forget to make backups on USB and he absolutely forgot about his coins LOL
