I've heard that some bitcoins might have been lost over time. I'm curious if there's any truth to this. Have people actually lost their bitcoins, and if so, how did that happen? Are these lost bitcoins just gone forever?

If the owner does not pass on the necessary information to access the coins, the funds will be inaccessible.
