So what's the plan guys? If Grin works out well, bitcoin devs shove all that tech onto bitcoin?

I don’t know that you could port Bitcoin onto Grin. So it is a threat.  

But their monetary policy is fuxxed.  Big mistake having an endless emissions.  Same trap Monero fell into.  

So that significantly reduces the threat.  

MW can be implemented on a second layer or as a sidechain with BTC I believe.

So, how many grins will ever be made?



Currently set to 50 per 60 seconds (it was going to be 60/m, but I think they finalised at 50/m).  That is not designed to change.  So it's infinite.

Well, if it's infinite it won't be worth anything. That's Economics 101.

I don't know if anyone, including the developers, expect it to be worth much. It's more of a proof of concept of a technology they want to push onto bitcoin.
