When 21M Bitcoins are mined. Our (grand)children are among the richest people on the planet.

or bitcoin is long forgotten and grand children come to see their delusional grandpas in the mad asylum :D

No, we who never had children and instead uploaded our brains to immortal robot bodies are among the richest people on the planet.

People that put 'Discuss.' on the end of their post are retarted

I'd imagine we'd each have our own planet.

bewbz are delicious.

discuss.

I agree.

You mean youre going to live to 130?, sorry to rain on parade but everyone alive today will be long dead in 2140.

never go full retard!  ;D

It doesnt matter get over it theres more to life than money.   tomorrow you could be dead think of your future here and make it a good one bitcoin can ruin your life if you dwell on it too much its money and money is depressing. there is no love in money you cannot love money or god.  you have to choose one or the other.

you've been to 2140 have you? ::)

At that moment, Children are not rich, they may fall in the He-3 problem due to nuclear fusion system and the transportation technology will be more advanced before.

The environment, may be worse than now.

You mean the grand children of those bitcoiners that will pass the private keys over to their kids  :P
My guess is that by 2140 most of the current bitcoins will be long lost.

You're saying it's likely that people will live to at least 130 years by 2140?

I choose money.

I think that there's a quite reasonable chance that in the next 50-60 years a cure for aging (or at least a method to drastically reduce the rate of aging) will have been found.  There are some very bright men working on it as we speak.

Do you have a reliable source?

Ableist!  >:(

90% of the worlds energy is used to mine Bitcoin and it ends up destroying us as we start over in the dark ages again.

The buckets of grain, beans, and rice I have stored in a hidden location make me the wealthiest man in the state

no, what i was implying was that it is not unlikely.
the amount of problems humans have fixed in the past 20 years is absolutely insane,

how could you possible predict what problems we would have fixed in over 120.

"Because yellow is what bitcoins used to smell like."

Now this sounds awesome.  ;D

127 years later? We'd be dead. Even with biological/medical advancements I doubt people here would live to 145+.
Average life expectancy at the moment is <80 years.

I didn't even state we'd be alive... Just sayin'.

On 2140 bitcoin would be used to tip virtual streeptease robots over the interhiperwan.

Parazyd no doubt in the bright future of bitcoins. For sure are grandchildren shall be richest if today we start accumulating bitcoins. In past decade gold made people rich but now finally gold has felt hence it’s time for bitcoin to rally not just for 13 years but much more then that so get ready for a ride. 

I think we will be able to mine with our brains hehe

The way I see it is that governments, with all their regluations, patenting, and monopolies on things like medicine, are holding back science like this incredibly.

The news above in a stateless society would be cause for excitement; we'd finally defeat aging, (not just mortality, but the act of growing old itself!) Hooray!

Sadly, I know in this government-haunted world, we are not going to be allowed to access this kind of tech. It's for our masters, not for us.

How do I know this? Because I've seen stories exactly like this one put out on a daily basis since the 1970s, when I started reading, that's why. There are always, always, always 100 breakthroughs a day that are not allowed to be realized... I remember people driving all-electric cars made by GM back in the 1980s... Which got completely recalled and scrapped months later. Fuel cells, high-efficiency solar, life-extending tech, cancer cures, it's all been solved a hundred times before but each time it gets suppressed. We're simply not allowed to have any of the good tech, fellow peons.

I'm counting on the bitcoin economy to change this dynamic. If we grow the bitcoin economy to become dominant, then our masters won't have the power anymore to suppress anything. We'll finally be able to protect good tech from suppression, and long, youthful life will certainly be a part of that reward.

Why are "the masters" suppressing all this? don't they want the cure for cancer and long life?
And electric cars have been available for quite some time where I live, in fact the neighbor country to the west, Norway, have the most electric cars per capita in the world if I am not mistaken.

or the heater in our house is a gigantic bitcoin miner

Who said they didn't get it?

Also, I don't mean that it's always someone's will to have supressed it... Watch the video I linked to; there are many ways that good things get supressed just because that's the nature of society.

I included that example because it was proof that something possible was supressed. Other than the GM EV-1, despite a huge outcry by environmentalists and techies for decades, you basically couldn't buy an all-electric car until the year 2010 or so. -Despite electric cars being mass produced BEFORE the ford Model-T was over a hundred years ago.

I don't think they got it because they too get cancer and don't get any older than the rest of us.
And what you say about electric cars may be true in the USA, but you can't project that on the rest of the world.
However I also believe that the automotive industry is in cahoots with the oil industry and that's why we don't see more electric cars than we do.
But to be honest, the range of an electric car is a lot less than that of an otto or diesel engine car.
Thats why I think the new BMW i3 with its range extended model with a tiny 647cc petrol generator is going to be a hit.

I was researching this yesterday. I have high hopes for this... Supporting my high hopes is the fact that the US Government pulled the funding on this research project. Google Ventures stepped right in to keep the project funded.

1. If they looked younger too, then it would be a simple matter of editing some dates on some paper somewhere.
2. Either way, they can just stay hidden and not tell anyone who they are... Hard if you're a peon, but very easy for a billionaire.

 
Europe had electric cars back before Ford popularized ICEs too. Like you said, the oil industry had a hand here, it wasn't just one government obviously.


Could you imagine if electric car technology was never suppressed? If they'd have been researching more range for the last 100 years nonstop?

Yes indeed. We are already 3D printing human organs from stem cells and 3 weeks ago scientists modified rat DNA to replenish (anti ageing). If you are in doubt to these claims, I invite you to take a visit to "science alert" http://www.sciencealert.com.au/

That's incredible foresight. That article was written two weeks after our posts  ;D

Also, I'm not convinced. One source (from the future) and it's from a news outlet. If I believed everything that was written in the press I'd have bought a garage for my flying car and be mining my Bitcoins on free electricity from all the fusion reactors that would be available today.

By the time the year 2140 comes around, the last generated coinbase will be about 20 years old.

Here's a question:

Will anyone alive today see the last BTC generated?  It would have to be a newborn living to be about 107, so my guess is "yes".

Here's another question:

Will any BTC user today be alive when the last BTC is generated?  I say no.  A "conscious" user (not one propped up by mommy/daddy for hipster points) would have to be, what, 7 years old? 8 years old?  So a 110-year old in ~2120 will begin using BTC in ~2017.  2017 will see the first BTC user who lives to see the last BTC generated.

You are assuming that humans would only live to 110 in 100 years. This is a very thin assumption, given recent biotechnological acceleration. I'd say, if the humanity does not destroy itself soon, 110 would be an easily reachable age by then, given you have the money to pay for it, which many people here will.

Then my advice would be to put all your BTC into Depends, assisted living centers, bladder control products, and motorized wheel chairs.  Happy times ahead in the 22nd century!!
