What would happen if all these large mining farms just up and quit business? They have allow of money in bitcoin and all, but what if one of them decided to try to pump the price and then just stopped mining, or just stopped mining for some reason. Is there enough power throughout the rest of the world to keep bitcoin running and confirming?

There would be people spamming this whole forum ranting about how slow the transaction of bitcoin is.

Fool will be the one that stopped mining, he won't make money anymore and he will have a lot of equipments abandoned.

I can't imagine what would happen to the miners once all the bitcoins has been mined. Bitcoin always give miners a reward to continue mining and keeping the network secure. They are only mining to get bitcoins, but what if there's nothing left to mine. In addition to the reasons why would someone stop mining, what if something kills bitcoin? Of course the miners would have to leave mining bitcoins because bitcoin is already dead.
