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.

It would be cool to be able to keep real track of the amount of burned addresses, but only those addresses that are publicly know to be as burning address can provide us efficient data in keeping track of real lost forever bitcoins.

if we take into consideration that the address of satoshi nakamoto contain up to 1 million bitcoins, we may think that the amount of burned BTC is over 1 million now, since its safe to assume satoshis keys are lost for life.

some people believe satoshi mined 1-1.5 Million BTC
i have seen analyists thinking that 33% of the bitcoins maybe "lost" but i guessitwill take some decades to see if that is true
it is wrong in my opinion to think if someone didnt sell for $1250 then his coins must be must
many investors are likely fiat rich and dont need to cash out until something drastic happens in the economy
