I wanted to ask you if you know of similar cases in recent years.
We all know that in the early years a lot of bitcoins were lost because they were worth pennies, most people didn't even imagine where this could go, there was no HW and things like that. But even though the bitcoin loss rate has been reduced in the last years I am sure there will still be human errors like the one in the quote that will end up with bitcoin loss, which is not bad for the rest because as Satoshi said they are like a donation.
No, some people are not careless because the amount of bitcoin they have is only a few. Some people are simply just irresponsible and careless. They could be holding hundreds of bitcoins but if they are too lazy to secure their wallets and make sure that they are protected then they will always lose it.
It’s not about the amount but the attitude of the person.
