81  Economy / Economics / Will occasional losses of bitcoin wallets limit available maximum bitcoins? on: April 15, 2010, 12:06:17 AM
What happens if somebody has some data issue and completely loses their bitcoin wallet for good?  Will this mean the bitcoins that they had would be lost permanently from the potential maximum bitcoin money supply?  Then as this happens occassionaly, the maximum bitcoin money supply shrinks.

As this happens over time, will it destroy bitcoin or can bitcoin recover?
