The volume of "dead" cryptocurrency reached $21 billion.

The total volume of" dead " and lost bitcoins, as well as other cryptocurrencies is 21 billion dollars. Such data are cited by Forbes magazine, which the authors used to analyze the market data coinmarcetcap.

In September 2017, the volume of the global cryptocurrency market amounted to 144 billion dollars, but only $ 123 billion can be considered liquid. The rest of the crypto currency for a total of 21 billion dollars will not be used.
Such Forbes includes, for example, all "dead" bitcoin wallets, from which no outgoing transaction was made since March 1, 2013. Another part of the bitcoins lost in the translation to a non-existent wallets.

From the total mass of cryptocurrency analysts Forbes deducted the previously lost coins Bitcoin Cash and tokens with a capitalization of less than 30 million dollars, the price of which, as a rule, artificially inflated by robots through the purchase and sale.

There is a high probability that in the future may still be lost an indefinite number of coins. And since the coins are not replenished,the total number of bitcoins will be reduced, Perhaps this fact will serve as a strong impetus to the increase in the bitcoin rate in the future.
