Some believe that even the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Mr Nakamoto, may have lost his private key.
Bitcoin is lost for a variety of reasons.
For example, the owner died, the hardware failure, or even just carelessness.
In 2013, a Welshman, James Howells, accidentally threw an old hard drive containing his bitcoin private key, causing 7,500 bitcoins to be lost.
If Howells had paid a little attention, he was now a multi-millionaire.
Today, the hard drive is still located under tons of garbage at the Newport Waste Recycling Centre.
"When I went to the landfill yesterday, my first thought was 'I didn't have a chance'. "
"I kept my hard drive in an office drawer for three years and never remembered it again. I completely forgot about it, and family life and moving were a distraction for me. He told the BBC.
As of July 2018, a total of 6 million bitcoins were inaccessible and permanently lost on the blockchain.

The lost bitcoin is like a letter delivered to an empty house that is permanently uninhabited, and it's there, but no one can open the door to retrieve it.
"None of the 1 million bitcoins he mined have moved," said Kim Grauer, a senior economist at Chainalysis, a Manhattan-based digital forensics firm. "
