Bitcoin question. I worry about lost coins. Over a long enough time the supply will shrink towards zero. Every sat that is lost is out of the supply forever. Does it make sense to return coins that haven’t moved in say 21 years back into the pool for future mining rewards. It wouldn’t have to change the issuance schedule necessarily. Any coins that were unspent for 21 years could be moved to the end of the stack and start being distributed after 2140 for example. Am I off base?

Why not just further divide the existing coins? More numerically but you're not diluting the % of the whole that people own.
