This morning I was talking about this with a buddy of mine.

Right now we have miners all over the world trying to solve this exponentially hard algorithm to earn their bitcoins. That is their incentive and that is what drives them to do so.

What happens when we remove that incentive to "mine" aka "verify transactions" on the blockchain? What I'm basically asking is what happens when we hit 21,000,000 bitcoins from the perspective of the miners?

All coins are destroyed and bitcoin starts from the genesis block again. Tongue

I don't think so because no one can imagine that how much price can be hit bitcoin. So if bitcoin hit 21,00,000 that will not imposed altcoin any more.
