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?

Before 2140 we will probably have less available. But i believe a few halvings in the future instead of value go up might come down do to intense world events and whoever is still about to run a node or 2 miners the ppl that stay alive from the crazy world stuff will buy btc back at $1 and restart the process all over again

Another tbing that can happen is btc actually gets hacked in the year i don't know 2103 and now those coins get released and then we move to sha-512 algorithm

Another scenario is satoshi wallet has a deadmans switch to release some how not sell but release those coins

We can keep playing out scenarios but untill shit really really hits the fan we wo t know
