Topic: How much bitcoins was lost permanently? - page 2. (Read 272 times)
This is an unknown number. Someone may have forgotten their password or remembered their password again someday in the future. There is no data to consider.
I completely agree with you . There's a lot of unknowns.
But you have to make some assumptions if there is no hard data
I believe that the wallet that belonged to satoshi will not be released (unless someone "mining" priv key).
I guess with blockchain it is possible to extract such data which is why I repeat my question, do you know if there is a site where I can find these "cold wallets" not moved for 10, 8 or 6 years for example?

I mean mostly bitcoin which were not transferred for example 10 or 8 may be 6 years.
Some topics were already listed, however they will most likely not meet this "requirement" of yours.
I will only add that the fact that certain coins were not moved, it doesn't mean (at all) that they are lost.
Some can very well stay in someone's cold storage, especially the older exchanges'.
Others will be locked inside funded collectibles.
And these are only the first examples that came into my mind.
Imho the "not transferred" rule, although interesting, can give you greatly inaccurate results (although all the other ways to "count" such coins are also inaccurate).
That depends on whether or not Satoshi Nakamoto is alive.
You will find the answer in the topic below.

Hello 
The current number of bitcoins generated today is about 18730000 . I wonder how much of it has been completely lost,
I mean mostly bitcoin which were not transferred for example 10 or 8 may be 6 years.
I am also sure that many people have lost their private keys to their wallets and also do not have access to them.
Can you please suggest or refer me to some site what percentage value we can assume how much of the 18M is currently in circulation
