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.

I just found out about it, how many bitcoins of those users had been burned and how many they have right now if throw away so easy for them, that can't be come from one guy. Make some people jealous to see that waste of money, but as it stated from the beginning
"Lost coins only make everyone elses coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone
I think that's why we get recently pump to the price, worth slightly more.

The lost coins have nothing to do with a pump or I would say, a steady price rise and so the same thing can be said reversibly.
Such coins could have been used for anything including "donations" to an actual charity instead of being burnt, but they didn't.
Should they still be considered as used in a better way?
