How many Bitcoins are lost forever?

[one-day0]

Well its a very thoughtful question .some people just started doing bitcoins at the very begining because it was too interesting .but days passed and maybe they have got a better option to make more .well they just went wrong .bitcoins are the future and they are nee market .its the best for the future.kudoos

Perhaps it is the very beginning of bitcoin lost, because the price for it was very small and the margin was very different from the current situation.

Depend on how many will not be careful with tgeir coins. Some might forget their passwords or could get their hardware have problems in the future.

What do you mean? i dont understand the part that hardware have problem in the future?
I think we are talking about done or after bitcoin gone or our wallet is forgot the password and your hardware halving problem with system and never open again and you need to format just to use it again in the future but all your back are gone..
This is i think we can say that lost bitcoin forever but i think many holders of bitcoin are lost..

This is probably a more accurate expression of what users themselves lost and not lost their Bitcoin. The reasons may be different. Perhaps even difficult or not clear until the end what to do.

If that is lost, and then it will find hackers anyway. Bitcoin thefts have now become commonplace and will not cause as much interest as a couple of years ago. Amounts stolen Bitcoin already hundreds of millions of dollars. hackers have undergone Bitcoin exchanges, major miners, owners of a large number of Bitcoin. So that nothing will be lost.

Undoubtedly losses were and will be. The main reason for the large number of losses lie in the very principles of Bitcoin network organizations. Initially involves the complete anonymity of users and all financial transactions. So it may not even be those quantities of Bitcoin that were lost.

not even confirm or you transaction turn to dust it means you are just sending  a small amount of bitcoin and i never heard someone that sending the same as you mention 0. 05 that their bitcoin not confirm never get back in their wallet.. unless if you are just sending small transaction or below the minimum fee or maybe you send wrong address..

Strange, as I know the BTCs back to your address if the transaction fee paid is very low after some time. If it didn't back to your address, it could be because you sent to the wrong address. Next time, set the average fees and confirm twice the address you are sending your coins.

until now I have only ever lost once and that because my mistake list the private key also how many my bitcoin lost that only 0.1 i think 5 month ago

[King Sastro]

Bitcoin lost because users are lost password, we know before online wallet released is very difficult to make wallet. I think more than 30% bitcoin lost forever, this source is from quoted users that lost bitcoin.

My most terrible of losing bitcoin when I do trading and was lose a part of My capital money. It was happened when the price of bitcoin growing up highly and the price of other crypto currency goes down.
Yeah few months ago I change my btc into eth and unfortunately i lose my money because the price of alternative coin also down.

yeah that's the inherent risks in trading, sometimes occur kadnag prices do not correspond to what you want, you have decided to sell their loss and other potential buying coin and accept a loss or hold it until prices rise again, it's all a difficult choice

The worst part is that most of these inactive accounts are accounts from the beginning of the Bitcoin era, which had a lot of money in them because the price was small and the mining was easy to do. Probably a few hundreds thousands..?

[Dudeperfect]

Well, I am not an expert but I think there is no way which will accurately give us the figure of lost bitcoins. We can only figure out assumptions based on some activities such as proof of burn and similar type of losing coins but we cannot confidently prove that any unused bitcoins or wallets are cold storage or lost ones so I think no one can answer this question with accuracy, all we can have is assumptions.

Most likely this is what happened. Just one thing is not clear, what is the interest at the time was engaged in collecting and Bitcoin. If their number is really large, then it is bad.

I know it is a tricky question. What do you think, how many Bitcoins are lost forever and are 'out of the network' by lost private keys?

Hhmm for me i don't really have that much knowledge about it still i have known that bitcoins have lost so many now and they will be forever gone but no need to worry because the creator created another one of them i mean bitcoin to move up to the list of money in the internet but there are many have been out of network bitcoin is the famous around here i think that the oldest is dead now

[HaXX0R1337]

i dont think that anyone will be able to answer that question, there are so many ppl using btc that there is just a possible chance of someone forgotting the password or anything.
It' is sad that these btc are kind of unrecovarable ;/

Just everyone knows that there is a loss because of the dark Bitcoin Bitcoin accounts and purses, but the number of the rooms themselves will still be unknown.

[mastica]

I dont know how many are lost forever but i do believe that something near 2 milion of bitcoin are lost, some early adopters histories were the biggest lost of bitcoins, and all days someone forget to store keys from their wallets, or pc burnings. This should make bitcoin more precious since those does reduce the supply.

may be many , but could not indicate percentage
i think this is their mistake because not keep their private key..
