Banks can print more of their currency when they want, which causes inflation to be created by seeing more money in circulation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"you_can_%e2%80%98burn_bitcoins\"><\/span><b>You can \u2018burn\u2019 bitcoins<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>It is possible to withdraw coins from the circulation permanently.<\/strong>\u00a0This can be done with a code in the bitcoin software called OP_RETURN.

Your bitcoin wallet stores your private key so if you lose your wallet and have not made a backup, for example by writing it down on paper, then it is almost impossible to gain access to your lost bitcoins.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of bitcoin that has been lost in this manner is not possible to determine. It is not cynical to think that many people have lost bitcoin through this process. Bitcoin that has not been moved from an address and considered inactive could simply be someone holding and not wishing to spend their bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently 18.5 million bitcoins in existence.
