Last October a website called BTCBurns.cf identified 397 burn addresses containing 2,657.8686 BTC lost forever. It has gone offline. Since it stopped keeping track 26.04 additional bitcoins have been sent to these addresses.

The total number of unspendable bitcoins is now 2,771.4086.

Its like talking about all crimes in USA beign counted as 550 while counting only in one state of 52 states of USA. In reality there is 45000 crimes total.
Same here, they counted below 3000 btc burned, in reality it could be over 1 000 000 BTC burned forever.
So not worth counting this way.
