Come to think of it, there's probably a lot of bitcoin that's been taken out of circulation because the owner passed away.

I'd say so since it's not the same as banks who can release your accounts to whoever is listed in your will. You literally can't access crypto accounts without passwords. That money is gone unless you've told someone a) about your accounts and b) what the passwords are.

A very good suggestion. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Following
