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?
i think if it reached its maximum potential of 21,000,000 bitcoins, it has be another cycle of mines to be mine to have a another round on this business. and i think the creators of this bitcoin are aware on that. so they have another round to catch up us again and again to make us them more profits.
