How do you calculate these numbers? Are these numbers based on some random research made by some so-called intellectuals? We have just seen 4-5 days ago that coins from over 10 years old address are moved. It is wrong to assume that if address remains dormant for long then bitcoin associated with such address is lost. There are many possibilities, such addresses can be cold storage, long term investment, address belonging to HODL maniac, safe investment for kids or future. Maybe some of the supply may have lost in early days of bitcoin but I don't believe that we are losing 360K Bitcoins/year in recent years. 



He is just trying to show analogy between two scenarios. He's comparing lost bitcoins with the concept of token burning and implying that lost bitcoins make Bitcoin more valuable similar to token burning which makes tokens more valuable.

I do not know where you get those statistics from, but it sounds very high. I know there was some study done in 2017 and it speculated that over 4 millions coins were lost - Source : https://fortune.com/2017/11/25/lost-bitcoins/ but it is just speculation and guess work.

I am not too worried about the so-called "lost" coins, because it will just increase the value of the coins I own now and it will just increase the rarity of the coins in supply.

Even some precious metals like Gold goes missing (Lost rings or buried treasure etc.) and cash is destroyed every day, so this is not a big issue. (There is still 100 million Satoshis in one Bitcoin, so there are still loads of Satoshi in circulation)  

It is include the non circulation of Bitcoins and original coins as you can see and also some user's transection error.

Yes Lost Bitcoin we can compare to Token Burning Which Make Coin more Valuable and Powerful

I think it's really wrong to assume we lost that amount every day just because the total amount of lost bitcoins was sitting on that range. Even this scenario will totally negate your explanation since that only happens in a day too. We can't say those are lost and as what webtricks expounded there may be some scenario one day those said lost coins may be regained in the future.

That would be not correct comparison either. Token burning itself doesn't make other tokens valuable. In case of bitcoin, it is because it has the highest level of decentralization, the biggest crypto community in the world, many developers who contribute into the system, miners who maintaining the network by selling electricity for proof of work, bitcoin has credibility of its monetary properties and because of that it is valuable. People who own bitcoin interested in bitcoin being supply limited so that they can be sure that their savings will not be debased like it is happening in legacy monetary system and its QEs. Naturally, every "token burning" in this case contributes to the value since total supply is known.

Let's say that the owner really forget his password or passphrase of his cold-storage or hardware wallet and that is entirely not lost but just sitting in there while the token burn that you are implying is totally gone in existence, and let's think of positive things that may happen in the future for this certain Bitcoin that is Forgotten, it will stay and just like people that are just holding their Bitcoin it is still there, so even if the price went down because of a possible crisis in the future Bitcoin will stay intact and still will have its value.

Alright so just because some old coins on some addresses didn't move in years, we should automatically assume that they're lost lol? We don't even know if those addresses are just owned by diamond-hand hodlers. Pretty dumb assumption if you ask me.

How do you know the amount is lost? It's just a speculation of different people while I think the total reported lost amount is too low. Are you summing up the amount of 1m BTC which is supposed to belong to Satoshi?

Saying that Bitcoin has 3.6 million coins out of the current 18 million right now burned is a great exaggeration. Even if you count out those Bitcoins that were intentionally burned, lost or so, it still doesn't come anywhere near even a million.

Satoshi coins or any coins that were mined in the early days should not be considered lost. There was a coin movement from an address that was dormant for many years. Coins that were mined in the early days should not be counted out.
