RE: Satoshi's nest egg is worth a cool $5 billion at current prices

in #bitcoin7 years ago

You know, there are a lot of lost bitcoins, not just this possible milion. Quite a lot of people lost huge amounts on hard drives or usb flash drives in the early days. Some people just lost their private keys.
It is estimated that 4-5 mil BTC are already lost forever.

Yea that makes sense, back then it wasn’t a big deal if you lost a bunch of BTC because they weren’t worth much. All even more reason that the price still has a lot of room to grow.
