Do you know that according to the research of Chainalysis (the company that deals with the study of blockchain) for the entire period of bitcoin existence (almost 10 years) about 3 million units (20%) of this currency have disappeared in the world?

In order to analyze the market of bitcoins Chainalysis divided all the existing bitcoins into categories: “original currency”, “mined currency”, “transactional currency”, “currency of strategic investors,” “ones withdrawn from circulation”.

The smallest losses of bitcoins were found in the categories of “transactional currency” (spent or transferred to other bitcoin accounts over the past year) and “currency of strategic investors” (bitcoins held by owners for 1–2 years).

The biggest losses are observed in the category “withdrawn from circulation” (mined 2–7 years ago by the first enthusiasts) — about 30% of the total number of lost bitcoins.

The fact that real money can be burnt and gold bars-lost is well-known and self-evident.

However, the fact that digital money can be lost in the same way is impossible to guess.

It is expected that by 2040 people from all over the world will mine 21 million of bitcoins. However in fact, taking into account all the losses there will be much less cryptocurrency for exchange and trade.
