Yo,

So apparently there's like 4-6 million bitcoin that are lost and gone? Just curious if there was any ideas or plans to update the protocol to replace the lost bitcoins if there was a consensus, if that is even possible.

All the lost Bitcoin only mean a lower maximum supply. That means that the price of Bitcoin will go up. Less supply and more demand is just what we need. In fact, this will continue happening and Bitcoin will continue rising because of this. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Think of it this way: If a Bitcoiner loses his coins because they died or lost access to their wallet, all hodlers receive a kind of inheritence, automatically.

Is that not a great thing?

We should not change anything about this.
