$BTC Lost Bitcoins Are Gone Forever

An estimated 3 to 4 million BTC (about 15-20% of the total supply) are lost forever due to:

Lost private keys

Forgotten wallets

Deaths without inheritance planning

This makes Bitcoin scarcer than the max supply of 21 million suggests.

2. Bitcoin Has No “Headquarters” or CEO

Unlike a company, Bitcoin is decentralized:

It’s maintained by a global network of miners and developers.

No single person or group controls it.

Even if a country bans BTC, the network continues elsewhere.
