it wasn't an opinion. what can you disagree about? are you suggesting that if someone encrypted their wallet then destroyed the hard drive that file was on, those keys could be recovered somehow?

I lost 100 bitcoin
Hard disk is damaged.....

Someone should make a google forms and track this accurately. let people enter it in and attach a username or name.

I think most lost bitcoins would be from the early days when they handed out entire bitcoins for free or have them away at faucets. There must be lots and lots of missing Bitcoin in wallets that people mined into in the early stages. Haha imagine it a normally oc mines a Bitcoin in a few moments.

I lost some bitcoin when i started bitcoin earning doing faucets and other things like games finally i dint know how to convert it as money finally i gave up . its happened year back. But re entry into bitcoin was quite good for me .

You just remembered to post here after the last post was from 10 days ago? anyhow I think rico666 is offended because he has his operation

Going on probably for another 2 million years to find a few collisions of private keys, in theory yes it is possible to recover all the lost Bitcoins

But in reality the chance is practically near zero, unless of course if there was a solid proof and if the amount was really significant we could

Have asked all the miners to do a hard fork in return to get paid something like %50 of the amount and the other half goes to the real owner.

I lost 0.8 I was really silly to pay earlier but that was the same as last month, so iam going through it now.

Was hacked and bitcoins were stolen from GDAX account.

So the loss is almost around four plus coins.

in this case, YOU lost coins, but the coins are not lost to the person who stole them. this thread is about unretrievable, gone forever coins.
