Just a query but would there be anyway for someone/group to mint all the bitcoins or if someone had 51% of all bitcoins? That would definitely effect the value of it....... (sorry newbie)
Well, over half of the bitcoins are already minted, so it's far too late for someone to mint "all the bitcoins". However, it is technically possible for someone to mint all the remaining bitcoins if they can maintain more hashing power than the entire rest of the bitcoin network continuously for the next 127 years.
