Im pretty sure everone heard about the missing bitcoins and unaccessible wallets which has huge amount of bitcoins.There is a theory that the supply of bitcoin is not real(because of unaccsesible wallets)  and when the real amount of bitcoins revealed that is the time the real price of bitcoins will be there.What do you guys think about it or is it possible to detect unaccessible amount of bitcoin.I thought that maybe a fork would be useful to do that.
I don't know how you came to an idea that forking would help in this issue? It is not possible to detect which one is unaccessible.
But if given the ability to know the real circulating supply of bitcoin, I am expecting a certain price rise.

Also I have an idea.Fork happens with a condition like you will get 1:1 the new coin only if your bitcoins are in a whole new wallet system.So anyone who sends the bitcoins to the new wallet they can have the new bitcoin but if you cant they would be old trash bitcoin
This will somehow help but there are also people holding bitcoins that are not aware of this fork. I mean, we are not sure that all holders will get this information. Also, there are those who just don't care if a fork like this occurs. I think that's the reality. But still, you have a good point. As of now, all we can do is believe on the estimates from, say, Chainalysis.
