God, a banking system would really have come in handy here...

Hahaha, this a really funny comment.

More funny today with the tally at BTC134632.37 or $37,697,063.60...It's amazing to know that this is the current value of all the bitcoin identified in this topic as lost.

It's also pointless to dwell on it...like thinking about how much gold has been thrown away, lost, or destroyed since the beginning of it's collection.

Knowing that a finite number of bitcoin will ever exist and understanding how much value people think bitcoin will be worth, do we all have a very serious duty to protect what we've mined, earned, or bought so as not to lose it? We're stewards of Satoshi's creation right? We shouldn't let it go to wast by forgetting wallets, losing keys, being careless - anyone else agree?

Great thread topic, I'm glad I don't have anything to contribute to the balance!
