I wonder how many bitcoins are sitting on a hard-drive in some landfill.

The year is 2035.
A few highly specialized firms have the ability to dig your memory, find your wallet key, find what you did with your old hard-drive 25 years ago and track it down until they retrieve your coins, for a hefty percentage.
They are the New Miners.

In the future, "Bitcoin mining" will mean excavating landfills to find old hard drives

The more bitcoin that get digitally lost, the lower the supply. Maybe that's why it has consistently gone up in price. :)
