Topic: How many Bitcoins are lost forever? - page 6. (Read 43070 times)
I do not understand this anxiety or concerns about bitcoin those that had the opportunity to be lost. In fact, such a thing could happen, and indeed may have somewhere to coin purses, which left their owners for various reasons. But that is changing. This is just for information, or is it important?
This is a difficult to answer on how many bitcoin are lost. We could not count the exact figures then the total bitcoin were lost forever. Everyday are many uses bitcoin, having bulk transactions doing withdrawal, transfer also. So for me its hard to tracked these losts.
As remittances are no calculations are not up to snuff, even if such an opportunity would be. Most likely these bitcoin already dead load will be stored on the purses forever. 
I think that if there were any casualties in the bitcoin, it happened only at the dawn of cryptocurrency development. But as if to suggest that virtually nothing is worth while bitcoin, the possibility that the number of abandoned coins can be a huge amount. But it is still just a guess.
im sorry if this was asked before but, is there any site tracking the number of "dead" bitcoins?
None, there is no way to track those dead/burned bitcoins. They are lost forever, we really can't have a way of knowing of how many they were lost even the experts, they are just estimating the amount of total lost bitcoins forever 
we can't really estimate without getting all the required information. An address staying dormant for a long time may not necessarily means that the owner could have lost the private key, nevertheless that person could have just set the cons aside or have it transferred to an offline paper wallet without trying to access it.
That is correct, some dormant accounts or wallets are possibly long term investment as we do not have a proper metrics on that.So, we could not tell how much is totally lost. I think there is no other way to recover lost wallet,private keys etc. Its gone forever.

Bulk transactions help for the easy way to calculate the number of bitcoin easily. Only method which can be used to make the number of lost bitcoin is using the transaction details. It will be a long process, every bit of bitcoin will be transacted at least once. Now if the number of bitcoin address and the transaction along with that gives better results.

The bigger difference I can see is that the physical currency can be found again by you or someone else, but decentralized crypto is lost forever.

All online wallets under supervision and it seems to me that if someone from the users for many years will not appear, and it turns out that the purse is not claimed, it necessarily hacked and some of bitcoin is still not lost.

I hate to say, I lost my first few small amounts of BTC when I did not backup my wallet. Now I use a number of different BTC wallets online, so I am sure they will not all disappear at one time.
I can tell only from my own experience:
I lost almost half bitcoin because of lost keys, mobile phone malfunctions, and transfer requests to wrong addresses.
I learned from every mistake I've done, but I'm sure almost every user of bitcoin has some lost bitcoins because of similar mistakes.

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.
We all know that bitcoins sometimes lost, but as we can see, all bitcoins are there, and it will not lost. It only lost when they are not in used, it is right to be in the right track. For we can use these bitcoins, we should know the value of it, we know the kinds of bitcoins as we all know the altcoins. We could not determine if bitcoins are lost forever.

I just stambled over this thread in Beginners section. A guy bought 12 Bitcoins when they're very cheap and forgot about them. The PC with installed wallet was wiped so that private keys have been lost. Well, another 12 Bitcoins which are out of the race.
That's why I prefer to keep most of my bitcoin in the local exchange. because I'm not going to lose the private key, when you forget the password I can use the facility forget password
We've been discussing a solution to that problem (bitcoins that are lost due to people loosing).
Mainly, there would be a timer of about ~4-5 years or maybe even more that would return bitcoins to the original miner in case of those btc not being used in that period of time. Imo that would be a perfect solution to that problem, maybe push the time to 10yrs if needed in case people are keeping those bitcoins as a long time investment.
