💡 **Fun fact about the crypto world: 20% of existing Bitcoin are lost forever!** 🧐
Can you imagine losing access to millions of dollars? Well, this is a reality for many Bitcoin users. It is estimated that **around 3.7 million BTC** (approximately 20% of the total supply) are permanently lost. 😱 The reason? Mainly, the forgetting of **private keys** and the loss or damage of devices where they were stored. This equates to more than **100 billion dollars** in BTC that can never circulate again! 😮
This fact reminds us how crucial **security is in the crypto world**. Here there are no banks or institutions that can recover your money if you lose access. **The private key is the only thing that connects you to your funds**, and if you lose it, it's like throwing your fortune into a bottomless pit! 🔐
A famous example is the case of a man in the UK who has been searching for his hard drive in a landfill since 2013 because it contained **7,500 BTC**. Today, that would be more than **200 million dollars**. 😵 Imagine losing that amount just by not having a good backup system!
