I'm wondering about the consequences if someone loses their Bitcoin private key. What would happen to their BTC holdings? Would they lose access to their funds forever?

Despite being recorded on the blockchain, a bitcoin cannot be transferred or spent without the corresponding private key.

Without the private key, the Bitcoin remains at its assigned address, unmovable and unspendable.

This situation creates a paradox where the bitcoin technically still exists but is practically inaccessible.
