😳 Estimates suggest that between 3 to 5 million BTC (15-20% of the total supply) have vanished forever in their owners’ wallets.
🥶 Some of the most legendary loss stories:
A guy who threw away a hard drive with 8,000 BTC – now fighting in court for permission to dig up a landfill to retrieve it.
Someone wrote down their private keys on paper… and then washed their jeans.
Millions of BTC remain locked in the wallets of early miners who simply forgot about their “digital toys” back in 2010.
🔐 The lesson? Back up your keys, protect your seed phrase, and don’t store passwords in a “safe place” you’ll forget.
