If Bitcoin is lost, Satoshi ensures that nothing can be recovered.

Recently, we often hear about many early adopters claiming to have dozens or even thousands of Bitcoin, but they are lost. Whether due to forgotten passwords, discarded hard drives, or damaged devices.
Interestingly, cases like this have been explained by its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Almost 16 years ago, Satoshi ensured that lost Bitcoin could never be recovered.
"The coins cannot be recovered, and the total circulating amount has decreased. As the effective circulation decreases, all remaining coins have a slightly higher value," he explained on Bitcointalk.
He even said that Bitcoin is the antithesis of fiat currency that can be printed at any time by the government. It cannot be duplicated, it cannot be restored, but the remaining coins will become more valuable.
