I think anyone panicked right now over the loss of their BTC because of a lost key, broken HDD, forgotten pwd, or the BTC just it isn't there anymore for reasons unknown-- those people will never feel secure holding BTC again in any form. The psychology of loss is powerful, and grown-ups just don't put their life savings in insecure stores of value. The value of BTC is part scarcity and part network effect. In a rational world (what we usually get in the long term) disappearing BTC would have an impact on the network effect. Interestingly, Gresham's Law suggests it would be a positive effect. A likelihood that wealth will be destroyed at death-- I would think that would deter adoption.
