How long will the lost or burned bitcoins take to affect the value of Btc? Bitcoin is way down from its ATH.

Cool

Isn’t it already affecting the bitcoin price already because the demand is high with the fear that the supply will dry off. Realistically though I think lost coins adding value to the other ones will be after the entire bitcoin has been mined and with no more bitcoin been mined and the ever growing adoption increases which translates to high demand, this demands according to economics rule will make the remaining bitcoin valuable by increasing price valuation. So until the bitcoin is totally mined we wouldn’t see the impact of this lost coins

Bitcoins are continually being lost. People lose their wallet logins. People die without anybody else holding wallet logins. Bitcoins are burned for any number of reasons. All these things and more are reasons why bitcoins are lost, which all contribute to the value of the bitcoins that remain.

For me I think most of these examples are not entirely lost coins. Personally what I can say is unless a coin is burnt it is not totally lost forever since there is still a possibility of anyone getting access to the wallet again, for example maybe a family person who holds bitcoin and died without revealing the place where the private keys or seed phrase are stored, in this kind of situation here there is no guarantee that it is lost coin because the access to that wallet is attainable and any time
