such as bitcoin will become anti-stuff in the future, according to a new study by Chainanalysis, a digital forensic company studying Bitcoin Blockchain, shows that 3.79 million Bitcoin is gone. these are high estimates of research findings, with their low estimates still sitting at an astonishing 2.78 million figure. This makes the percentage of lost coins based on what has been mined today up to between 17 to 23 percent.
Where do they go?
according to a breakdown supplied by Chainanalysis, their research appears to be quite thorough and little more than speculation.
in the segmentation of their lost coins in different ways, they have broken them into mined coins by 2017 - which they believe are still intact and available. it makes sense that there will be more cautious people in 2017 with the value of large quantities of coins.
when they refer to strategic investments, they see people who have kept their coins for a very long time, and probably will not disappear, but only grow in a stagnant position, so this bitcoin will be a rare item at some point
