Hi i have a question, i hope someone could answer it
As of now, the circulating supply of Bitcoin is 16.6M
I was wondering what would happen if it reaches 21M?
Will bitcoin still work even without mining?
Or will bitcoin fall apart?
Nothing out of place will happen except that the price of Bitcoin will skyrocket. By the way, the 21m is the expected total mined coins but there is no way that 21m will be in supply even after everything has been mined. Of course there are going to be lost coins in transaction or lost private keys to trace some coins.
