How many Bitcoins really exists? It was just a question
21000000, we all know this, but many coins have been lost, it never can be used again, so the amount is less than 21000000.

This answer is just plain wrong. Please read the replies in the thread.
21 000 000 is the planned supply. This number of Bitcoin won't be in existence before sometime in the year 21xx.

21 mill should be the cap. However, lots of BTC have already been lost due to hardware failures, lost passwords, etc. So I would say about 19 mil in total.

There were many lost during early adoption. So currently there should be ~14 000 000 and in reality there are only ~10 000 000

Notable cases include a guy who trashed 7,000+ bitcoins.

There must be a lot of smaller cases like this, which don't get highlighted.
