šµāš« 17.6% of all Bitcoin is lost forever. Yep, thatās around 3.7 million BTC. Every year, hundreds of thousands of dollars vanish due to forgotten keys, lost devices, and, letās face it, sheer laziness when it comes to security.
These missing coins are a loud reminder: the true value of cryptocurrency is in the responsibility of the owner.
There are no second chances to recover lost access with Bitcoin. Itās both its biggest flaw and greatest strengthāa constant reminder that ownership freedom comes with discipline and education.
