We all know there is an approximately 17 million bitcoins in circulation globally.
With the known largest bitcoins holders e.g. Mr. Nakamoto, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, NSA, and Winkleboss Twins.
These bitcoin holders accumulates over 2 million bitcoins in their wallets. How many bitcoins do you think left in circulation?

zero!
simply because with your definition, someone who has bought bitcoin or mined bitcoin (Winklevoss, Satoshi,...) has that amount out of circulation and every single person out there who has bitcoin has bought or mined bitcoin so their coins should be out of circulation by your definition, and it shouldn't matter if it is 0.0001BTC or 1000000BTC and the total of that is equal to the number of coins that are available.

I think that no more than 5-6 million circulate in the real turnover. The end is close to us Grin

Nobody know correct number, but I think that we can sleep peacefully another 5 years or more without worrying that bitcoin will vanish.

If it is calculated by the experts, the last bitcoins will be dug in 2040. From now until then there will be many opportunities for you. Sleeping depends on you but take the opportunity as it makes your capital increase a lot!

As I know there are around 17m that are mined and a total proximity of 21 million which we will be mined by around 2028, although this changes slightly depending on some of the mining algorithms and speed changes, which may mean a shortening of time and duration for mining all the coins and the amount left in circulation.

I agree with your opinion. The figure of 17 million is already nearing completion. A large number of markets means a lot of opportunities for investors, but there are also many challenges to choosing.

According to Fortune magazine, almost 4 million coins has been lost (including the ones you mentioned) but because of the nature of bitcoin I honestly believe that these numbers are far from being accurate.

I read that about six million bitcoins are considered lost. Of course, all these calculations are very approximate. No one can say exactly how many bitcoins are currently in circulation. However, given that now slightly less than 17 million bitcoins are mined, and about six of them are lost, approximately 11 million bitcoins should be in circulation.

If I have the right information, then about 17 million bitcoins are in circulation, and most of them are in private hands, for example Nakamoto

Someone has already counted up that about 16 000 000-17 000 000 bitcoins from the circulation (mined) of approximately 6 000 000 have already been lost, that is, the possibility of access to them has been lost. However, these figures are very approximate, since no one really knows the real figures. In the future, the number of lost bitcoins will only increase, but it is already quite slower, because with the increase in the cost of bitcoin, people will be more careful to it and less to lose.

It's a bit difficult to tell how many are left in circulation. While we may know the figure of the current Bitcoin supply as indicated inBlockchain info and the total amount traded on Coinmarketcap,we can not know the amount of bitcoins which remain static because the owners of such huge volume of Bitcoin have decided to hodl onto it and not move through it the network.

If all Bitcoin owners were to regularly trade their bitcoins and we know the exact amount lost in inaccessible storage devices, maybe these will help in giving an estimate of the amount left in circulation.

If I'm not mistaken bitcoins left in circulation is about 17 million. And only a few people owned a big part of bitcoins, for example Nakamoto. A day is 3600, for a month, they will already be 100 000.
