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.
no, bitcoins that are lost intentionally or not will be lost forever in circulation, there is no consensus whatsoever that can return them, besides, if they are returned, who receives them? unless miraculously he finds his pk again and opens the wallet. I can't imagine what it would be like if the 4-6 million lost bitcoins returned to circulation, there is no exchange that can accommodate that much bitcoin. I don't think that's good for the sustainability of bitcoin, so it would be good if there were 4-6 million bitcoins being burned independently lol
