what do you think the amount of irrecoverable xmr is? with bitcoin it's estimated hat 4 million coins or more were lost by early bitcoiners who didn't save their keys or lost their password or their wallet.dat file or whatever.

when xmr came out i feel like people were a lot more used to crypto and had learened from careless bitcoiners and were a lot more careful with their keys and walletfiles, even though a large amount of early xmr is similarly irrecoverable. I think it probably much less than bitcoins estimated amount. What do you think? how much xmr is lost forever?

this is an interesting question,

because those coins can never be halved, and they act almost as bank reserves, in the sense that they will "alway been there" as "liquidity" even if they're entirely immobile...

hhm.

on one end, it eh whatever. hitting send.

I agree. Prob way less as monero users where indeed more savvy from the start.
