in 2010 they were talking about lost coins and satoshi said
Think of it as a donation to everyone.
The real meaning behind it would be that the lost coins will reduce the total number of coins available in the market and with very less coins in the market the demand increases and thereby the price, it is during the initial phase when it has no valuation and even Satoshi might not have expected the market to reach a billion valuation in a very short period of time and if he had those ideas i am sure the genesis coins will not be stuck like that.
