If cryptocurrency volume will be going to decrease even more due to some reckless actions like forgetting your password then the price will keep on increasing, always remember that a low amount of supply will lead to the price of coins to increase even more in the market.
If that will happen it means it is lucky to other because of one mistake. The increase of the value is the happeness of everyone because it can put up the profit in different way to go. When the market is red everyone tried to hold and waiting to high the value maybe that is the cycle of crypto currencies.
but not all users will have the same options as you. not all users will holding and be patient as you do, maybe many of them also sell out of panic and fear of getting bigger losses, and that's what keeps the bitcoin price down, should some of them have to be patient, because the price is sure to go up, they are too rash..
This is not even supposed to be about the value of bitcoin, this is a discussion on what happens when bitcoins are lost and the possibilities of what would happen in such scenarios. Firstly, if there is anything that would happen in the market, is just to increase the value more in the long term based on the number of coins in circulation rather than causing harm.
I believe a time will come when people will start realizing better ways to store up their assets in cases where they may have to leave it as an inheritance when they pass on, as death is one way a lot of coins has been lost till date apart from carelessness.
