Ver seems to have a lot of bitcoin.

Anyway, this is scary that a lot of coins are in hold by the exchanges.
2.43 million is a lot of bitcoin.

And this calculation do not include the coins Satoshi has?

I just wonder how lost coins are being called lost coins if it is not really lost. How do we label the coins that is lost? there are differences between losing your softwallet and hardwallet, simply in softwallet there is way where you can at least recover it unlike in hardwallet, what you need to recover the bitcoins is you need to recover the hardwallet first but what if it fell into the ocean? that's lost bitcoins, maybe.

I also wonder where is the Satoshis's bitcoin? that's worth a trillion!

the only way you can know if a coin is lost is if you were the person losing those coins. even if you publicly announce you have lost those coins we still have no way of knowing if those coins are actually lost.

so far every single stat that counts "lost coins" is simply calling any coin that has not moved a "lost coin". and that is not just wrong, it is stupid. a couple of weeks ago we saw how early miner(s) signed a message from many addresses that had coins from very early days. these coins are not moved and are being counted as "lost coins".

same with Satoshi coins. there are only 2 known Satoshi addresses as far as i know. the first one that has balance is the one from Genesis block which has unspendable 50BTC due to protocol design. the second address that has no balance is the one he sent bitcoin from to Hal. we don't even know if the change address belongs to Satoshi! so for all we know Satoshi has 0 bitcoins.

How did they know those are the total amount of lost coin? I am pretty sure there are more and thousands of those lost coins aren't reported at all.
Yeah, they should be move to an exchange before trading. If no one moved the coins, then there wouldn't be any trades going on and the volumes would drop, affecting the price very badly. They are "kept" in the exchange. They aren't held over there forever.
Though I do like the visual representation. You get to know a lot buy just looking at the photo!

That's a good point, is hard to know how many coins are already lost, i think some of the holders' coins could be considered as lost coins too.

Anyway, it's an awesome graph great job, it reminds me of the Windows Disck defrag. Thanks for sharing the source.

As far as the amount of bitcoins actually minted in circulation, the Bitcoin network has recently passed over the 18.5 million level. However, while more than 18 million coins have been minted to date, there are a range of distinct elements that influence the distribution of all current coins. Large holders, missing coins, so-called sleeping coins, and coins kept in custody for multiple solutions are elements that influence bitcoin distribution.

The outstanding circulating BTC supply is about 18,508,600 BTC as of today, although several individuals have been debating the actual distribution of the circulating supply over the past 12 months. For instance, news.Bitcoin.com reported on an analyst in mid-September who said only 14 million out of the 21 million supply limit would ever circulate.

Coin Metrics also conducted an article last year, discussing a number of approaches to determine the true supply of Bitcoin. At that time, Coin Metric's estimate of the "liquid" availability of BTC was about 16.3 million as of block height 600,000.
