HOW MANY BITCOIN LOST IN SPACE.

[aricleather]

If there is always a private key for every address, how can they ever be lost? Just launch a bruteforcer and wait a couple thousand years.

haha a few thousand years! Might be worth it if BTC goes to the moon

We know roughly how many btc have been mined,but anyone any rough idea or guess how many have been lost in cyber space or old wallets with a tiny amount in them abandoned never to see the light of day again.

If you include Satoshis coins a fair bit
But if you include actual coins lost there are the dumping addresses and then a few coins are destroyed now and then but I would say less than 1% of all coins mined at this stage in time
The mtgox coins are more less around but they could be considered lost as well.

I would not consider satoshi's coins to be lost as if he planned on never using them then he would probably have destroyed them a long time ago.

The gox coins were never "lost" they were instead given away to people that should not have received them
