i always love a good Apocalypse story where the readers will infact be dead when it happens... but in bitcoins case it would be from old age and not the event itself

Yea, it really shouldn't matter when the last bitcoin will be mined etc. That's not gonna happen for another hundred years and more years..99999x things can happen in that time.

According to this theory, it should take 136 years to fully deploy the 20,999,999 coins the system is designed to produce under the current rules..if you believe the people at the Bitcoin Foundation, which controls the mining process.

The bitcoin blockchain should reach petabyte size if it gets really popular.  :)

You should take a look at all the robotics companies Google is buying up. Interesting stuff coming in the near future.

Yes, 9999x thins can happen in that time and if cryptocurrenciy will succeed, more improved crytpocurrency might be created in that time..
