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.
I really hope nobody will ever come up with the idea, or proposal, to recover those bitcoins because it would mean going against Satoshi's vision, as Omega already pointed out simply quoting Satoshi's message. If we start doing changes like this who knows what else could happen to bitcoin's protocol, that's the reason I hope everything stays the same.
