Lost Access to At Least 15,000 BTC

134634.39864659+15000=149634.39864659

how can anybody lose 15,000 BTC? i am sorry but i can not believe that anybody exists in the world that "loses access to" 15KBTC * 200 $ = ~3 mil USD
i personally would keep 1000 satoshi in a couple of different wallets that i store their private keys in different places.... but 3 million ....

Delusional crypto obsessionist

Whoops, playing with some cold wallet method and forgot to save the private key before I rebooted to offline modus.
Luckily I was just testing and this was precisely what I wanted to test.
0.0004 BTC lost forever.

134634.39864659+15000=149634.39864659

Right.....

In that case I lost 750000BTC
Add that to the total: 149634.39864659 + 750000 = 899634.39864659

God, a banking system would really have come in handy here...

Hahaha, this a really funny comment.

More funny today with the tally at BTC134632.37 or $37,697,063.60...It's amazing to know that this is the current value of all the bitcoin identified in this topic as lost.

It's also pointless to dwell on it...like thinking about how much gold has been thrown away, lost, or destroyed since the beginning of it's collection.

Knowing that a finite number of bitcoin will ever exist and understanding how much value people think bitcoin will be worth, do we all have a very serious duty to protect what we've mined, earned, or bought so as not to lose it? We're stewards of Satoshi's creation right? We shouldn't let it go to wast by forgetting wallets, losing keys, being careless - anyone else agree?

Great thread topic, I'm glad I don't have anything to contribute to the balance!

4.1...... lost private key

You're expected to update the total. That's how the thread works (AFAIK).

I'll do it for you: 134578.27864659 + 4.1 = 134582.37864659

Ouch! www.lastpass.com FTW, hope that your luck balances out in time.

Ughhh, no thanks man. LastPass just got hacked. You should be going with Clef instead. Passwordless logins! www.GetClef.com

It looks great, I signed up for it, hopefully Blockchain.info wallets will add it and also the main Exchanges, LastPass with a 2FA YubiKey is safe for now.

That 1% is a lot in my opinion, taking into consideration this is just a corner of the glacier, I guess there maybe in total 5% lost..

I wouldn't be surprised if it is more like 2M BTC lost. In the first year+ of Bitcoin's existence (during which almost 2M coins were mined) it was nothing more than an interesting experiment. The coins were worthless, and people treated them as such. I mean heck, the first known monetary valuation wasn't until Lazlo's pizza, which was mid-2010, 1 and a half years after it started. Not to mention than Satoshi himself mined a good 1M BTC, and I don't expect those will ever move.

Just my best guess on it. I'd be willing to bet that 10 years from now, there will be at least 2M coins that haven't moved between now and then.

I believe that bitcoin was actually trading on gox prior to Lazio's pizza purchase; this transaction was only the first known transaction that both involved bitcion and actual goods/services.

I do agree with that that in Bitcoin's early days, many people likely treated their private keys with little care. I would not however underestimate the potential for technology to be able to recover data once it has been seen by either the human eye and/or has previously been stored on a hard drive

If you do a forum search for "mtgox" with a message age between 1640 days (how many days it has been since laszlo's first post) and 9999 days, only one post comes up, and that's only because it was edited a year later. So no, I do not believe MtGox was trading before laszlo's post. Surely there would be announcements and chat about it on the forum if it was.
