After all 21 million Bitcoins are mined by 2040, the amount available to trade or spend
According to new research from Chainanalysis, which studies the Bitcoin blockchain, 3.79 million Bitcoins have already been lost. This is the highest figure possible.
In the research prepared with the analysis on the chain, it was noted that the number of lost Bitcoins was at least 2.78 million, although an exact figure could not be determined. It shows that 17 percent to 23 percent of Bitcoin, which is worth 10 thousand dollars, has disappeared.

It is certain that the increase in the number of lost Bitcoins will continue in various ways in the future. But the number of lost Bitcoins will be proportionally lower every day. Because they are very valuable, people will be more careful when using them. They will not be wasteful like Howells, who threw away his hard drive, which he forgot contained 7500 Bitcoins.
The clients of Chainalysis include institutions such as the IRS and Europol. That’s why this research of the company is worth considering.
