Ironically, losing access to a wallet helps drive Bitcoin prices up, because there are fewer Bitcoins floating.

  What's ironic about that?

    I see it as ironic as the reason it’s valuable and they want access is because people keep losing access driving up the price

      Yes, ironic in the sense that, by retiring those bitcoins from circulation, usable bitcoins are more scarce, which drives prices up, making the loss even more valuable in the future.
