I believe many of us has lost the precious Bitcoin at some point.
  A lot of this loses could be traced back to wrong wallet addresses on the part of the sender (more reason you should double check the address before sending).

At some point you mistakingly sent Bitcoin to an ERC-20 wallet or sent it to an incorrect wallet.
 
 Either ways, the coin becomes lost.

In times like this thoughts like this set in, "why is there no provision for recovering lost Bitcoin?

 My answer to this might sound inconsiderate, but...

It is a good thing you lost it, and it's a good thing it cannot be recovered.
 Maybe you will be more careful next time Wink

When you consider something as valuable, you ought to treat it with great value and care,  so before sending out your "valuable Bitcoin",  if it's really important to you,  ensure that you double check the address to avoid loss.

 If you have lost Bitcoin the first time due to the aforementioned wallet issue,  then you ain't supposed to lose another one,  as you must have learnt to be more careful now.

I have never  lost  BTC by sending it  mistakenly to wrong address  but i have lost allot BTC  dues to  scam.  but I once sent ETC to  ETH address which  i taught  ETC was  ERC20 token.  in fact  it  was very painful but ever since  i have been  much care when it come doing crypto transaction.
