This discussion comes from this cool article that I read today
We will all probably be dead when this happens, but are there any thoughts on what the future will look like once every last Bitcoin has been mined?
Does BTC just end? Will transaction fees be enough to incentivize nodes to keep working?
I'm very curious about this. Thoughts?
In 2140? Probably nothing, by then the price would be quite stable, apparently slowly gaining value (because fiat is purposely being inflated). Hopefully more nations would have adopted Austrian economics, with full reserve banking, and the unfounded fears of deflation would be a thing of the past.
Or, by then, another crypto would have taken over. What with Quantum computers on every home and what not... (Yes i know Bitcoin can be made quantum computing resistant, doesn't mean quantum crypto coins won't become interesting).
