I guess it's a bit more to add to this thread... Still don't understand why people burn their coins intentionally. I don't think any burning is purposeful... But to each his own.

lookup "proof of burn"
this is the only purposeful burning i am aware of

the rest of lost coins maybe someday  retrievable when computers are powerful enough to break their passphrases
