I have a theory that even though we talk about halving the issuance rate every 4 years, the BTC price is just as much influenced by the amount of coins lost day by day. I've read analysts estimating even around 6M bitcoins are likely to be lost forever. Those are horrendous numbers. But surprisingly in contrast, I've never seen anyone put the average of lost BTC estimations over time on a chart. The closest we can get are the "supply last active N years ago" type of charts, but they lack context.

I would be highly interested on historical data of the aggregated amount of coins claimed to be lost over time. If you know a reliable source, please share!
