The number of bitcoin is only 21 million, is that enough for the future?
given the vision of bitcoin to become world currency?

what do you think of this?

Yes it's enough, nowhere does it say that someone has to hold 1 btc. If we think of say pennies (USD) there would be around 500 trillion of them in circulation if all physical USD that's in circulation was in pennies. Now if we consider satoshi's there will be 2100trillion of them. That's a lot of potential supply to spread around, not to mention that if necessary even a satoshi could be divided if there was an overall consensus.

There will be 21 million bitcoins. But consider that every bitcoin is equal to 100 million Satoshi. There are also many other cryptocurrencies that can be used for payments.

Bitcoin is a world currency already. Perhaps it is the first real world currency. Is 21 million coins enough? Well it will never be a primary payment system - the limits designed into it made sure that that could never happen. The 21 million may not be enough if the bankers and the Deep State remove enough coins to restrict its use.

I think this is enough, because Bitcoin is not living with everyone, and that person must have needs and some people will definitely sell their Bitcoin, maybe that's where Bitcoin spins from hand to hand, it looks like that's where Bitcoin is rolling to this day.

you can divided 1 bitcoin into satoshi which make it enough for all.
problem is the number of bitcoin has been declining dramatically because the first coins were being mined was 50 bitcoin (some die and others lost them btc)

I think there is no limit in the cryptocurrency market, if the coin is accepted it will thrive and vice versa if it is not useful then everything will stop. I think that the market and the investment community are the most accurate measure of any asset and bitcoin or other altcoin. Try to develop new features and long-term strategies that can help the project survive the market.

yes it's enough ; and because of that bitcoin value should rise up to more than 1 million

21 million minus what ever that has been lost over the years.
I really can't get my head around why some think it is too little an amount. Decimal places can continue. If the amount of bitcoin were to be doubled then surely the value attached would also have to half.
Is it more a case that some people will never have 1 whole bitcoin?

People will always struggle with this if it becomes an accepted currency at any point and that's why many have always spoken of using mBTC, that way it would be closer to a more realistic value when looking at other currencies and people could wrap their head around it a little easier. Not to mention people could get over the mental issues of not having 'a whole' of something.

The journey is still long to say whether 21 million BTC is enough for the future. The number of circulating supplies currently shows the figure of $ 16,836,012, and there are about $ 4 million BTC left that can be mined. Remember that rewards will decrease over time, and difficulties continue to grow. Price will be more expensive. If it is true BTC will reach $ 1 million / BTC, you will need $ 10 just to get 0.00001 BTC.

yes, the vision of bitcoin is to become a crypto currency recognized by the world and serve as a means of payment, and we know today the remaining bitcoin supply is only 4 million, and is predicted to be exhausted in 2024. while the bitcoin vision has not been reached.
but I see slowly some countries have started making bitcoin as a transaction tool, and maybe before bitcoin runs out, the bitcoin vision will be achieved. So, I think this is enough

if you look at the current state, I do not think bitcoin will be enough to meet the criteria as a digital currency.
will be the next time a bitcoin really becomes an official world currency, I think there will be a next generation of bitcoins capable of being created.
besides, many other coins also we can use like Ethereum.

   Yes it is enough,because if there is over supply of bitcoin there is a possibility of decreasing its value. Higher demand with less or limited supply equals to greater or higher value. That's why bitcoin has a limited supply to become valuable currency in the market.

Yes it's more than enough, bitcoin is divisible by eight decimal places, and the comma could be moved even further to get even smaller units.

yes its enough and thtas why bitcoin price will go 200k usd

Bitcoin was made to store value and exchange it between people without the interference of centralized 3rd parties , even if the number was much smaller , bitcoin is still divisible by thousands and depending on the value you can store in a single coin , dividing it however you like (0.1 0.01 0.001 0.0001 0.00001 .. until reaching the smallest unit "satoshi" ) will permit you to get whatever value you want .
And bitcoin is already a universal coin since it has already been adopted by lots of companies and is recognized world wide , even kids nowadays know about it and it has even penetrated the memes world with the "A bitcoin trader , a cross fitter and a vegan enter a bar .." .
Having a full coin isn't necessary anymore .
What bugs me tho is that thousands of coins have been lost over time , and their overall value continued to grow while they stood inaccessible and no one can retrieve them , but i guess we can't impose in the smart contracts that non used coins can be redistributed or something since it is not juridically or logically doable , so RIP lost coins ..

Last time I checked the price 1 bitcoin is $10,000 since when did 1 bitcoin became $1?  

If bitcoin becomes expensive in the future we might be forced to send no miner fees(regular to priority fees ranges from 0.00002 to 0.0004) for their transactions because that's the only thing that would make the transaction so expensive.

think gold as a reserve currency, it is estimated that there is so little gold in the surface of the world and that`s make it and give it such a value, so also btc would be enough to have that amount.

For me its a yes.. A big yes that its enough for the future . if you really know how to handle you money or your income from bitcoin if you will not use it in a boostful way it will be. But if you will act as a one day millionaire of course it won't be enough. But we are here to gain salary and I know bitcoin is always be here to give us to pay our hard works.

The number of bitcoin doesn't matter at all.Even now only a few hold bitcoins in whole numbers and the rest of us only have a fraction of bitcoins.It's obvious that if many start mining most of the bitcoins and the other leftover bitcoins are invested and are being  hold then the
value of bitcoin will increase and we will use bitcoins in even more smaller fraction,it's as simple as that.

I dont think that is enough, when a lot of people using it, the price will be very expensive, that is why there are alt coin that we can used, and if we only used one currency, the rich will getting richer and the poor will have difficult access to bitcoin

Yeah well even if all the value of the world (73 trillion) transfers to bitcoin it can still be divided up to fraction of cents

Bitcoin's number that is running in the cryptoworld is just enough to supply all the users. A person can hardly acquire one bitcoin which means everyone has just about decimal to two bitcoins. Also, it cannot be out of supply because of the volatility of Bitcoin. When the price is high, many holders sell their Bitcoin. When the price becomes low, many buy bitcoin and the cycle keeps on going.

Limited number of bitcoins will lead bitcoin to have a higher price in the future. Good thing Bitcoin can be bought in a fraction. Other alt coin owners are burning their unused coins too.

If the supply is limited, we will see bitcoin on a higher price. This is great because if you hold much bitcoin then you make good money. Other cryptocurrency offers great services and I think we will never run out of supply in the future, this is just a cycle.

I think it is enough. If for the fact that not all people are that greedy. Ahaha!

But, really, that is enough.

Think about this...

2.1 quadrillion Satoshi (each Satoshi is defined as 100 millionth of a BTC)

Is that enough?

The thing that we use as a currency must be portable, fungible, durable (and not easily counterfeit), divisible and have intrinsic value.

Yes that supply is enough for the demand provided that the value will increase so that supply will become available and enough for the circulation. There's no way to increase bitcoin demand as much as we want to have more bitcoin that is one reason while alternative coins are introduce to divert the market demand of bitcoin.

I think for now 21 million bitcoin are enough to fulfill the needs around the world, but comparing with the far future when more people will get to know it, and more people will invest in it and hold their bitcoins, the circulation will get slow between users so the limited supply will be a problem with a high demand, this will be solved unless the value increase and reach a high price though.

Yes, you know that 1 bitcoin is 100.000.000 satoshi. So 21M Bitcoin is surely enough for future.

Having said that, it can somehow hold the needs of this generation despite how hungry we ought to be, but in the next decade we are never sure to that.
 I guess btc will be far more less profitable when it comes to mining block size increase its computation, mining was so easy to set up today but how about next decades did you think there are no difference, but that is the question making you feel alive to dig deeper unto the crypto world

In economics, the law of demand states that if the price is lower, the demand increases. If you higher the price the demand decreases.

So if the demand for bitcoin increases the price of it should decrease right? But beacuse the supply for bitcoin is limited or difficult to produce the price of it increases in the market.

Increasing the supply will affect the value of bitcoin. If the supply and demand equalizes, the price would stabilize thus lowering the price of bitcoin.

Of course it's "enough". For a currency to be truly valuable it needs to be truly scarce. A hard cap of 21mm is meaningless because BTC is divisible up to 8 decimal places, so we can trade in satoshis. And, a fork can always be done is more divisibility is necessary.

It is enough given that the price of bitcoin will increase. It is not that all of the population of the world will use it now but I think if they all start using it, the price will massively increase and I think even there are a lot of bitcoins that cannot be used, it will still be enough.

Yes, 21 million bitcoin is more than enough for the future. Bitcoin can go up a lot more and it's value is expected to continue to shift.

For me its very much enough when  I meet bitcoin  very much contented for it I love doing this everyday of my life

yes, we know that the vision of bitcoin is to become the world's currency, if we look at the reality now, many countries are still resisting bitcoin, bitcoin inventory is only 4 million more, the estimated time will be exhausted in 2024. so in 4 years with a supply of 4 million bitcoin again, I think this will not be enough to reach bitcoin vision.

 But consider that every bitcoin is equal to 100 million. There are also many other cryptocurrencies that can be used for payments.The 21 million may not be enough if the bankers and the Deep State remove enough coins to restrict its use.

That's true because the number of bitcoin has been set before being circulated to the public so the value of bitcoin can not be added even in less and I still believe that bitcoin can survive in the future with many enthusiasts who start using bitcoin as an investment place.

I think it is not enough and I don't think the number of bitcoin will stop in 21 million because as long as we use and earn bitcoin, bitcoin will continue to be mined from transaction fees of course the number of bitcoin will increase.

Hi, Buddies...


i think it won't be enough...

for me it's not enough because i do not have a salary experience so i have to wait and increase my interest in bitcoin so i can help my family and our lives .

If all countries in the world decide to regulate bitcoin as the currency and use for all transactions, with the amount of 21 million btc it will not be enough. Because, everyone will be interested to having bitcoin, the impact of demand on bitcoin will increase and make the bitcoin price will be very high. This situation for people who have little money they will not be able to get it.

Bitcoin has not much coin supply indeed.
But the less supply means the great value.
hence bitcoin is the most expensive coin.

not enough but it seems likely that a limited supply of the currency may cause prices to continue to increase. I don not think that bitcoin can world currency because  there are only 21 million Bitcoins that can be mined in total , the goverment can not control bitcoin  ::)

I think is more than enough because people will hardly buy bitcoin because the price is so expensive and will come a point they will change to another coin.

With the number of people interested in other alts now aside from btc, i think its more than enough. We may see btc dominance for a couple of more years but i'm pretty sure there will be alts whose demand will exceed that of btc in the future.

Besides BTC, there are several other cryptocurrency available. I don't think it is only about BTC, it's about the all cryptocurrencis combined.

yes, I think that's enough
Because bitcoins are not like paper money, bitcoins can be divided into even the smallest parts

maybe no. bitcoin have 21 million and have 8 decimal. 21 million * 8 decimal = 168 million number on bitcoin.168 million number on bitcoin for all earth's inhabitants (7Billion ++). This is why price of bitcoin will expensive..           

This is enough, because same as now with respect to the supply availability the price will increase when the demand increases. When the adoption happens in a much larger level, the satoshi will be highly valuable and that fulfills the need of the entire population with the limited supply.

I think twenty one million bitcoin is just enough for the future. Bitcoin is equivalent to a hundred satoshi, and there are other existing cryptocurrencies that could convert it.

It is really a great help for all people because bitcoin has ability to grow and increasing potential of bitcoin is something really amazing. It is not enough and it can never be enough for crypto currency power of bitcoin is going to rock the world. If a person invest in bitcoin get benefit so it is not enough no need to stop investing, invest get profit and then again invest so let this circle grow more and more.

I think in the future when bitcoin is going to be a huge power, they will manage somehow to make more bitcoins. I don't see how this is gonna work if they don't make new ones

I think 21m Bitcoin is enough atm while cryptocurrency is developing very quickly these days. For now Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency anymore so people don't focus only in Bitcoin anymore, there are a lot of choices for investors, trader and miner so I think the total supply amount 21m of Bitcoin is enough. As some people tried calculated 21m Bitcoin will be mined out till 2140 maybe it'll be longer :)

In my opinion In future only 21 million bitcoin is not enough. Because day by day bitcoin users and bitcoin demand increasing in the world. Now Too many peoples in worldwide don't know or hearing about bitcoin. When all the people in the world are knowing about bitcoin advantages, then they also started use it. So in future a large number of bitcoin must be added for a large number of users.

Wow,yes it's enough.I am always a fan of Bitcoin. I never get frustrated when bitcoin price are very low.I always hope that the prices of Bitcoin will continue to increase.And in the future,Bitcoin will become a world currency.Then the country's progress will continue.People will live happily in peace.

it will enough, even if you think that amount is very small it will enough if every people in world using bitcoin, because if let say everyone in the earth using bitcoin as payment, then the price of bitcoin will so high this will make people buy bitcoin is not too many, and make bitcoin become very rare, so just the rich that can buy it, and make bitcoin not profitable if you wanna trade unless you have big amount of it.

It's good in the sense that value will keep increasing over the next years (hopefully), but I'm not terribly fond of the complete lack of inflation. Inflation of around 2-3% per year is necessary and healthy, imo. That's why something like eth has advantage in the long run.

Personally, I think the number of 21 million mined blocks in the bitcoin network is a sufficient number. There is still a long time to the last block, and that's about 2140 when the last block is mined.
By then, the price will definitely change and the Bitcoin price will be higher, with less btc you will pay or buy. So the number is enough.

Sure, it's enough, if the market not collapse then BTC will be the biggest value coin in the world!

With prices going up proportionally to its demand, it may be enough. Bitcoins will be distributed in smaller amount and maybe in the future, satoshis could even have a dollar value.
I think you guys should not worry about the supply. If there is anyone that would be concerned about it, devs can act upon it.
Just worry about how can you have enough bitcoin for your own convenience.
Also I have read that it takes some years to half bitcoins. Just don't know how that works.

Precisely that is what everyone will look for, if bitcoin supply less will be more expensive for bitcoin price in the future, surely they will find bitcoin even though bitcoin price is very expensive to buy it !!!

In life there is not enough, there must still be less, therefore we do not grow according to what we get now, the journey is still far stepped

Crypto currency is not only bitcoin, but more than a thousand altkoins and their number will only increase. Bitcoin and altcoins will interact and complement each other. In addition, bitcoin was originally created for this purpose. to have a higher cost. His small coin, satoshi, is one hundred millionth part of bitcoin. Such a small coin has not a single monetary unit of the world. Therefore, in the future, when bitcoin will have a high cost, basically not whole bitcoins will walk, and their small parts are satoshs. In this regard, 21 million bitcoins will be enough to be sold to the whole world.

To tell the truth  i dont know what would exactly amount  number of bitcoin fund for the reserve of the future to become the world currency,for me its better to increase that value greater than 21 million expectation because in my own understanding the more investor to partcipate all over the world the marrier would the  given more benefits of bitcoin and the more the resources of digital currency will growth in expanding high, so the more fund of bitcoin will run through in the market for investment.

enough and satisfied, bitcoin has the fixed amount of tokens which is great for the price of the future. as the people having bitcoin are increasing daily and the demand is getting larger and larger, the supply has the fixed amount if not getting smaller this will affect the supply and demand of the token which is the best to have. bitcoin price will continue to hit more dollar value then.

Definitely it's enough, as we already know each crypto currency has it own volume on the circulation in the crypto currency world. Bitcoin was designed to have on that certain volume since as of this time it doesn't reach 21million and it will mined all approximately year 2140. In terms of to become world currency, well for me its impossible fiats is still important which can be use on that particular country but in some point I believe in the future using bitcoin as mode of payments will be implemented.

Of course it is enough for the future. Just remember BTC has 8 digit after the point (0.00000000), so eventually the fees will get down and people will be enable to send 0.00000010, for instance, and it will suppose much more money than today.

The system has been designed this way precisely looking at the future of BTC.

Bitcoins will increase their number that is fact. The reason is when something is fixed in number that is okay until demand doesn’t cross that one limit. As the bitcoins are concerned, just see the number of availability in the international market and now see its demand. It is far more than the supple. So definitely when more people are coming into this world surely number will be increased.

that comment made me to think about gold. is there a possibility of the human kind is using the gold in a wrong way ?
i mean we use it for just for accessorizing. is it there for this silly purpose?

Why not, bitcoin will be enough for the future because bitcoin is divided again into satoshi, and bitcoin prices will be more expensive and stable.

I think it would be enough to use,because the ETH or XRP also could be trade in the world.
and they are a lots of basic platform ,and I think it would be more guys accept the crptocurrency

I don't think it will become the world currency still it's so volatile. I got a friend who believes that one day it's price will become stable and may be in this case it will become the world currency but the amount of 21M will be definitely not enough

dont worry about the very last bitcoin to be mined because i am sure that if that happen, we are all died and the most can get the benefits are the newborn people who are lucky to witness how crypto currency big at that time. bitcoin quantity for altmost 21m bitcoin are enough to circulate all over the world. but to be a world currency, i think it will not.

Yes, it is enough as price keeps fluctuating and you can always use the lowest part Satoshi in order to perform the transaction. The whole system works on the law of demand and supply so even if Bitcoin price is reaching $1 million, even in that case you will be able to buy and spend Bitcoins worth $10 so quantity is not an issue.

However, I do not support Proof of burn (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_burn) at all. It doesn't make any sense in my opinion to burn what you have just to prove your ownership/action.

It is enough. There are other cryptocurrencies that will be used even more often than Bitcoin, thus 21 million is OK with BTC.

If the vision of bitcoin is to become world currency 21 bitcoin is not enough. But i think bitcoin will never be the world currency. Because bitcoin is for online only and its value is so high. Poor people cannot afford to own bitcoin.

yes true, even most of them still not fully understand about technology and internet. and I think it will be difficult to introduce bitcoin to them.
it seems that only the upper middle class can adapt to bitcoin  :-[

I think that is enough. It is normal to have limited amount of bitcoin, its part of the trade. Price or value of btc will not go up if we have unlimited resources. Before they mine all of it, it will be a long way to go.

Not actually. I think that as long as the user can afford to buy load for data or internet connection and he/she has an electronic device to access bitcoin, then he/she will able to adapt bitcoin. There’s no discrimination in bitcoin and bitcoin is here to help the people who are in needs and develop the wealth of the rich. But, in this situation, i think that 21 million bitcoin is enough but i know that it will increase because of the miners all over the world.

We can say that bitcoin supply is enough. 21 million bitcoin is a big thing. It will take many years to mine that. It will take hundred of years and up just to mine it. But if it will become a global currency, I hope the supply will be added. Every people in this world, bitcoin supply is not enough

It is ample amount, don't forget it is 21 million x 100 million satoshis per Bitcoin. Not sure exactly how many that is but suffice to say we have enough units to cover what humans will ever need especially considering our population limit is said to be capped at 11-12 billion.

I think not but they have many altcoins for the alternative support for the shortage of Bitcoin volume that only my solution if ever happen bitcoin goes short the supply.
And also i still believe not only 21 million available to mine, the technology still continue to grow bitcoin as part of new technology someone can find the solution how to increase the volume mining for bitcoin.

Its more than enough i think.Because whats circulating in the market now is just keep on circulating and if demands go high then bitcoins price go up.So i think 21m bitcoins supply is made for purpose not for a future problem.

21 Million Bitcoins should be enough, because each Bitcoin can be divided by Satoshi's. If the demand grows and if it would look like there are not enough Bitcoins, that would mean the price of each bitcoin and thus each Satoshi would increase.

There is no given limitation in terms of the possible development when it comes to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. So having the idea of contentment in term of transaction investment and trading will always be enough for us users because it definitely help us to earn at the same time to saved money becasue Bitcoin is a currency and an asset for many.

its enough to ensure that its value continues to be high or always having a net gain in terms of its price. the laws of demand and supply says that when demand is high and the supply is limited than in a free market system this should drive prices up . so if the question is this supply enough to ensure its always a valued crypto then definitely yes. it may even join gold as the standard bearer of value.

I think 21 million bitcoin is enough to make bitcoin as the world currency in the future because the price of one bitcoin is very expensive nowadays. in the future bitcoin prices will be more expensive than the price of bitcoin now.

It is surely enough, and for the sake of bitcoin value, the additional supply of bitcoin is no need to be added.
21 million is a limited supply, that makes bitcoin value very high. in the future, bitcoin value will increased much more.

there has been i dont know how many forks so depending on how u look at it there way more the 21mill

Yes, I think so..

It is because of the limited supply that bitcoin prices will become higher and higher. If the supply is more and more, bitcoin may only be worthless.

bitcoin is very unique because its supply is limited at 21 million btc, but the demand for bitcoin is encreasing rapidly recent years, so that has led to the shortage for bitcoin, making the price get higher and higher, so in the future, even with 21 millions bitcoin, it will not be able to meet the demand for investors all around the world.

I think that number is enough, if indeed high bitcoin demand will later make the price of Bitcoin become high. and people can have bitcoin only half of bitcoin or even a third or less of Bitcoin. so that number I think is enough.

For these three reasons, the demand for bitcoins is so huge. On the one hand - a beautiful legend, inspiring miners to exploits. On the other hand - greed and the desire to "snatch" and earn, doing nothing.

Yes but I think in order to be an efficient world currency its value should go way beyong its peak value so that it can supply all transactions throughout the globe. But I think it would take vast amount of time if that will happen but then again I guess altcoins will still play a great part to fill the hole that btc can't as a currency.

Bitcoin itself is one of the longest and most stable crypto currency. I think it's more safe to invest in it and this business really is. but what do you think?

If Btc trasanction will be decrised more then its enough from other side BTC will not be only crypto to be used for payments and i think BTC will sotmhing like Gold in ourdays.

It's always proportional. If there are many people using Bitcoin, the price will increase, so all of them can execute their transactions without worries, being the limited supply of BTCs enough for all of them. It's very balanced and sustainable on long term, the system works perfectly by itself.

Altcoins are always welcome, also a good way for people to show their insatisfaction with Bitcoin at some point, so they can move their money to Altcoins, a Plan B in Crypto Currency world. Just makes the decentralization stronger, very positive.

What really maters is how that 21 million bitcoin will be rolling in the market, and how it will circulate in the international exchange involving the global industry. If that figure is accurate and finite, converting that into different currency would be needed, because the world's wealth is not just worth 21 million bitcoin.

Well I think it's enough.
If the amount of Bitcoin increase then the value will go down. To keep the value up you need to creat a demand. According to economy, if the demand is more then the price is also high but if the demand falls then the price will also fall. So, undoubtedly if the amount of Bitcoin increase then price will go low.
So, I think the amount of Bitcoin should be controlled so that the demand remains high all the time.

In 2013, the bitcoat price jumped from $ 13 to more than $ 1,000, showing growth of over 7,000%. If you had guessed at the beginning of the year to buy bitcoins for only $ 13,000, by the end you would have become a dollar millionaire.

The number of bitcoins is fixed, it has only 21 million, but only a tiny fraction of the currency is in circulation, and some of it has been lost. I think that's enough, because the unit price is so high that many people don't have enough money to buy a bitcoin.

This is a reason because price alway inscrease

The total number of coins that exist are some 21 million and from what I have heard from sources are 17 million have already been mined. Maybe for the current time and the current market rates 21 million would be enough as we move towards the number of coins mined to 21 million till then the prices will be too high for any common man to buy so maybe 21 million would be enough.

1BTC also enough because price is alway inscrease

I totally agree with you, I agree with you,

yes I think this is enough, because Bitcoin is not living with everyone, and in my opinion it is impossible, people hold that much, I think, everyone must have the necessities of life, so I think, that person will surely sell it.

I think of the same as this fix number of the bitcoins in the international market will always help the ones who have invested their money into it to make some good profit out of it as the market value of the bitcoin will keep on increasing with the increase in the number of investors and that this will give a better opportunity to all those who will keep on holding and buying more bitcoins in having greater profit.

You dont understand this at all. The bitcoin is already limited in the number and what matters is whether the use will be increased in the future or not? Whether the popularity will keep increasing ? and if yes then how do we cop up the limitations on this one? The only thing can happen is the value will surpass the beyond expectation. We could literally see the bitcoin with value of million per coin. Then who knows we might just need to carry the satoshi's with us which will be the couple dollars worth and then that would be again fine to use. However it is just theory and we dont know how much demand comes in the future.

Yes it is enough for the future because the price of bitcoins will still grow since all of the cryptocurrency are based on bitcoins price so there is no doubt that bitcoins value in the market will still increase due to the shortage and high demand of bitcoins in the future.

no it doesnt u r lying

I think it is enough pack, because to have Bitcoin we do not have to buy at least 1 coin. but we can have Bitcoin just by buying half, a quarter or a tenth of that Bitcoin. I think it's enough with that amount. because with the small amount and demand later will increase the value of Bitcoin higher.

I think that's enough. The value of bitcoins has been rising, and not everyone has enough money to buy a bitcoin. The current currency is far less than 21 million, and not everyone owns it, and only a handful of people hold it.

Enough or not, only time will show, but in any case, we have to accept this and take it for granted. Let's see what role bitcoin will play in our life and how we will use it.

yes I think this is enough, in order to keep the bitcoin prices remain stable if too much bitcoin I think will affect the bitcoin price itself.

Have you ever heard of the law of supply and demand? Then you should probably know where I'm going from here. So there are 21 million Bitcoins overall, year after year it is being mined by a fixed amount (so the number of miners won't increase the amount being mined annually). At first there are only a few numbers of Bitcoin(supply) and the demand is also low. Resulting of not having a very good value. So overtime, Bitcoin is being mined, so the demand is also increasing, resulting an upward increase in value. As we have experienced a few months back, it significantly have an increase in value.

So more years forward we could expect that the value will still increase, especially when it is already in a case when its supply is at the brink of extinction, I would assume that its going to have a very high value. But then again, lets not forget that also because of other factors such as volatility, the price could still be affected, and would result some drawbacks along the way.

And bitcoin is already a universal coin since it has already been adopted by lots of companies and is recognized world wide , even kids nowadays know about it.For me its a yes, its enough for the future . if you really know how to handle you money or your income from bitcoin if you will not use it in a boostful way it will be. But if you will act as a one day millionaire of course it won't be enough.

The 21 million bitcoin limit is approaching when diggers have exploited more than 16.8 million bitcoins, equivalent to 80% of that amount. I think 21 million bitcoins are not enough in the future

The scarcity of bitcoin is one of the reasons why this codec has been rising sharply over the past few years. The difficulty in exploiting the last bitcoin is increasing, while the reward is reduced. The speed of new digging will slow down and it is difficult to predict the bitcoin value.

Is not enough for people who want to gain more income from btc we can contribute for financial income of people that using bitcoin that they need more money to make a succesful life after a long year then from any company will adopting btc it easy to pay money using bitcoin are no hassel and no pain pay from example the food or restaurants its really help to everyone as easily paying no money but btc account or wallet it very helpful and the of making better life.

I think the amount of Bitcoin has been decided in deep consideration and accounting. I'm also sure that this amount is enough for it will be a circle of the bitcoin among the people. It will be a balance. There will be also probably other altcoins that can be a good payment for some transaction as the bitcoin. talking about the world currency, actually, Bitcoin has been a world currency for many people around the world have used it for transaction or payment. But there are not all countries legalize this as the payment.

I think that could enough because it is decentralized. One Bitcoin could be owned by so many people , maybe you can get 1/10 of it. I think that Bitcoin Will not become a world currency because it is expensive and it could only done through internet. One more thing , threre are few countries that against Bitcoin like China or even Brazil do not believe in Bitcoin. If the whole world Will agree then there is a chance that Bitcoin Will become  as world currency. But as of now , just watch and expect big things about Bitcoin.

21 million bitcoin in my opinion is enough and has reached trillions there is a movement of buy and sell system so 21 bitcoin is enough because bitcoin will always spin

In fact at the moment 21 million bitcoins seem excessive given the large number of hard forks that are being generated from the current blockchain, because this means that after each fork are born 21 million new "bitcoins" claiming to be the original concept of Satoshi Nakamoto, therefore I believe that there will never be a shortage of "bitcoins" or other thousands of altcoins that emerge as mushrooms every year.

with the limited number of bitcoins, the value will be higher. anyway. in addition to bitcoin, there is still altcoin with a lower value and can be used also for exchange. so I think that's enough

I think bitcoin is perfect for the future because it will make the bitcoin price very expensive because the total supply will be very limited and it will be difficult to get bitcoin. but not suitable to be the main currency because the total supply will not be enough.

precisely by the limited amount of bitcoin that makes bitcoin more attractive the more expensive it will be, the more it will increase and it will continue to happen with a fixed amount of increasing demand that is difficult to fulfill

Yes, it will be enough. And the good news is that as it's a limited supply, it will only drive up the value as time goes by and more and more people start using its. It will be a long wait, longer than some people expect, but Bitcoin will eventually make todays holders rich

Having a limited supply is very important to have a good value. It's all about the law of supply and demand. I think there is no need for further explanation.
And to the question "Is bitcoin enough?" Yes it is, it could also be broken down to satoshis, each and everyone of us doesnt have to have a whole bitcoin each. And others also have more. We can't question that coz it is not about equal distribution of bitcoin. There will be no standard measurement to say that it wasn't enough. It is up to us how much bitcoin we will buy or gain.

In my opinion it is not enough to provide the people by 21 million bitcoin. But to trust the develor about the supply of bitcoin I think it is enough for them because they did it and limit the supply for just 21 million.

It's enough because mining Bitcoin gets harder so the supply will be scarcer and it will surely spike its price in the future. If you're not a miner, you can trade or just buy Bitcoin and other altcoins, and just HODL until you get a lambo! :D

the amount of 21 million is enough to make bitcoin as the world currency, because until now only 4 million btc left to make bitcoin as world currency, and it will not take so long. if the supply of btc is less then the price will be higher.

An excellent answer to you has already been given by the previous forum member. I repeat - this is not something that is enough, but even a lot for 100 years.

Now at this moment, the bitcoin quantity is at a range of the amount, but it is not the continuous quantity value. So it is increasing at a time of the declaration of Satoshi Nakamoto. It will be increased for reaching the time of ending the day when it will stop that any bitcoin is not being produced.
At the moment it is not be reached by producing the bitcoin. So the bitcoin will be finished to the section of producing when the time limit will be reached and the producer as like as the miner can not spreed the extra bitcoin for the economic marketplace.

I think not enough.

It will enough but very sure at that time the price will also very priceless for who want atleast one bitcoin. Whoever has atleast one bitcoin now and safe it atleast years from now who know the price will be million each.

I think this is enough, because the founders of this bitcoin have formulated about this bitcoin and they say that bitcoin will not run out until 2140 even in the mine, this is a great formula, you do not doubt about the amount of 21co bitcoin it is because here is a velocity of money and it is not possible for every user to hoard his assets, surely they will use it in everyday life.

Yes i guess it is enough. Limited supply means higher demands, and what does it really imply will be higher price in the future once it will all be mined, aside from it, not all 21 million will be circulating, excluding those that are lost, it would be lesser than that amount, but still it will cost much when the time comes considering only a small amount of supply circulating the economy.

if make now i bnak invest in bitcoin Although the result little by little. but pretty good results for my additional investment capital gan. because I always believed I had to be a successful person like my friend who is now a millionaire .

I think not enough
It will be much more in the future

I think enough, indeed the bitcoin's first vision is to be a world currency but the reality is that now many countries are rejecting it, so bitcoin users in the world will mostly use it for investment and trading, not to make any payment using bitcoin.

if you talk total supply of bitcoin available only 21 million bitcoin pieces then it is very suitable and enough, because if bitcoin too much total supply then bitcoin price will not be as expensive as it would be very easy to get bitcoin.

Of course this is enough, not without reason, bitcoin is divided up to eight decimal places, Satoshi Nakamoto thought it all out.

Yes that's certainly enough. there is no rule to buy at least 1 bitcoin. Are 21 million coins sufficient? Well it will never be the primary payment system.

For me its enough compared to none. At least it seems really hopeful for that probability. Also, there's still a chance that it would increase in these coming several years.

Why is Bitcoin being the gold of the Internet?
It's because it's a limited number, so it's valuable. If there are too many bitcoins,
Then its corresponding price will be reduced a lot.

Well its better to have like this than nothing, in my own, I think its enough, its better to have a passive income. You juat invest and do nothing all you need is to wait for the rising. Well it has a big chance to increase and decrease thats the consequences we face, in order to get profit sell it on time.

I think that is enough. Even there are many comes to earn bitcoin, the limited supply will make it expensive because  there will have an increase in the demand. It is enough to circulate bitcoin, if there can be lot of supply, there can be stable value of bitcoin and investors have to find another coin which can increase their profit and cannot hold long time since they can put investment to other coin. having a limited supply can help to circulate the coin along the market.

f you will act as a one day millionaire of course it won't be enough.At the moment it is not be reached by producing the bitcoin.

This, I think, is enough to turn BTC it into one of the most sought after and most expensive crypto currencies. I do not think there is a need for extra coins.  :)

I do not know if there are practical limitations to increasing that number in future. But if I was the owner/developer behind this project, I would have increased that number in future after the last coin was mined.

I do not think that this number is enough especially after seeing the number of coins with much more supply than bitcoins.

I think the amount of Bitcoin has been decided in deep consideration and accounting. I'm also sure that this amount is enough for it will be a circle of the bitcoin among the people. The bitcoin will be finished to the section of producing when the time limit will be reached and the producer as like as the miner can not spreed the extra bitcoin for the economic marketplace.

Crypto currency is not just bitcoin, but more than a thousand altkoins and their numbers will only increase. Bitcoin and altcoin will interact and complement each other. In addition, bitcoin was originally created for this purpose. to have a higher cost. The small coin, satoshi, is the one hundredth part of a million bitcoin. Such a small coin does not have a single monetary unit in the world. Therefore, in the future, when bitcoin will have a high cost, basically not all bitcoins will run, and the small part is satoshi. In this case, 21 million bitcoin will be enough to sell all over the world, my hopes and prayers to always be a thankful person and that keeps us away from the greedy nature.

I've ever read from several crypto websites that the rest bitcoin is not mined is really hard to get due to the difficulty and traffic.
And their prediction the rest all will be mined at 30 years from now, so i think it's enough for our future.
And my prediction something will replace bitcoin before it's all mined

I think that's enough because of the limited number of bitcoins that will keep the bitcoin price on top of it especially with the ever-increasing enthusiasts it's enough for the future

Yeah its enough. Because bitcoin is most trusted and safe currency.

The value and price of the bitcoin is too small because every year, bitcoin users increased, sometimes every month or even everyday. So it is not enough. It not right to just stop while the investors and users around the world increased.

It is enough because of its divisiblity. If one bitcoin is equal to 100000000 Satoshis and if 1000 Satoshis have value then imagine what the 21 milliona bitcoins could offer. Per the attributes or characteristics of bitcoin,it’s total number is enough.

I think not enough, i believe have an alternative solution how to increase the bitcoin limit of 21 million mine by the miners, why i strongly believe have solution to increase bitcoin mining in the future because the new technology and the genius in the computer science continue to research how to increase bitcoin mining in the future.

yes,for near future for very long term might be not as the value bitcoin posses is high and one coin will also have quite high value and there is no way that if bitcoin become official currency there want be any circulation of it and people will only save , flow will be there and its going to get spend ,so for future is enough for far future lets say as after 200 years it might not,,but that is too much time to be considered now

I think it is not enough if there are only 21 million bitcoin in this world, moreover in added more and more people are interested in bitcoin, the income will be more and the more diminishing the storage, if it can be multiply about 50 million bitcoin.

Everything in this world is relative. Those who want to have more bitcoins will buy at a higher price. Those who do not want to have bitcoins will be satisfied with more perfect and cheaper coins, which will soon be very much. I think that soon bitcoin will not have practical, but more numismatic value.

It's definitely enough I think even there are so many new bounty has came to pay bitcoiners using btc for their works. Well, it's also there are so many another coins that we can use as a payment tools.

threads are very interesting guys, I also think the total supply of 21jt for the future of world currencies. that's very unlikely. because the velocity of money in the world is very large. there is a positive effect when bitcoin becomes an asset and not a currency. so it's like an old-fashioned and rare item. and only the collector has this. I would argue bitcoin will not be a currency, but forever be a commodity asset.

The total supply of bitcoin is very ok and encouraging but I don't believe bitcoin will ever be used totally just like fiat currencies, rather it will only be accepted as a means of payment. For bitcoin to become world currency is not an easy task because even we members here in Bitcointalk community don't talk good about bitcoin which has made many to think that cryptocurrency in general is a scam, I think is high time we change the way we talk negatively about bitcoin for the betterment and growth of the community.

the quantity of bitcoin for 21m bitcoin is at most enough to circulate around the world. but to be a world currency, I think it will not happen. and do not worry about the last bitcoin to be mined because I'm sure that if that happens, we're all dead and the most beneficial are the newborn who are fortunate to see how the big crypto currency of that time

is it enough of what? bitcoin will increase and increasing it. it has a no ended bitcoin will need it more investor to become number one crypto currency in the world no one can stop like ETH XRP etc.. and anything in top 100 list bitcoin is the trusted and there will have an increase in the demand investor will wait for lower price and they will buy is it enough because bitcoin will increase buy soon.

No, well there are many crypto now in the market and this could be use as to compromise the number of demands from the people who will join cryptocurrency. We had ether that has a good coin supply in the market and it could be enough to cater the demand from the people who wishes to invest in cryptocurrency. Aside from that there are other crypto and you can choose whatever you want.

Yes, it will be enough, given that 1 BTC can be broken down into much smaller denominations. Also, only a percentage of the population will ever use it, so it's not as if everyone on the planet needs to own BTC.

The cryptocurrency market is receiving a lot of attention from the investment community, so more and more crypto projects are being created to attract investment. But investors should have clear requirements to test good projects because if they choose projects without potential or fraud, the risk of loss is very large.

If to see the situation about cash for example Dollar. It has banknote of amount 100, and it is enough for the whole world to make shopping and other things. Bitcoin has the amount of 21 million. It is not necessary to make more.

It is enough yo change the price in the market because of many number of people interested to have bitcoin but with this limit of coins, projects can make more alternatives to pay people with their coins. I think it is enough to help the market to be fair and those who keep bitcoin can be benefited by this limited supply.

For being volatile of bitcoin i think  21 million is enough. As time pass by it can be more bigger and bigger  because the price of it may increase. There are times that the value may lower but its not forever and also the number who use bitcoin will increase and more investor will invest.

If bitcoin wants to pursue its goals and aspirations to become a legitimate currency used for payment then the amount of 21 million bitcoins can not suffice for worldwide transactions. Bitcoin should make even more in quantity. But, it also needs to be balanced with the latest technological developments so that bitcoin is not less competitive with altcoin so that in transactions bitcoin can be more free and without obstacles. Maybe, that's my bit of advice. Hopefully, as soon as bitcoin can determine the next step.

There will be only 21 million BTCs and don't forget that many of them are lost forever because their owners lost their private key and there is no way to recover them.
I think it is more than enough since it can be divided to 18 (Satoshies).
The price will rise whenever there is more demand.

It is enough in my opinion because if we would need more and more btc`s there always is an option of a btc work which in those days can be used as cents are now and btc as dollar for example

I think it is enough for the future.To make good future need good price. low supply is the also reason of good price. if have no price they have no future. So 21 million bitcoin is the perfect for the bitcoin user.

I also asked myself about that. If there are 21 million bitcoin, is it really enough? Seeing more and more people are very curious and joining the crypto world, getting their luck and mine bitcoin, too. But then, this 21 million bitcoin makes it more special. It makes the bitcoin more interesting and challenging.

I used to wonder and ask that same question as well but after reading a couple of good articles I think it is enough. Yes more and more people have started to buy bitcoin and you might think that their would be a supply shortage. That might happen but remember the higher the demand, the higher the price gets which means bitcoins value will continue to increase which for me is good.

having low volume of supply comparing to the actual numbers of possible end users, bitcoin value will become huge for sure, time will let us see if how fit
those numbers if its fully enough or alts will also grow after the needs, we can't say what future will bring to this currency but being successful might give
us some hint why we need to hold and keep our coins.

dont worry. bitcoin market is dying. no one will care about bitcoin quantity anymore. 21 million is too good enough for everyone now

It can not become the world's currency. Low supply and unstable markets, it can not be considered as a currency of the world. It can not meet the criteria to become a new currency in the world. Besides, Bitcoin's future is bleak because it is not upgraded and the moderator is anonymous. So we should not expect Bitcoin to become a currency, it's just a money transfer tool.

21 million bitcoin is a very large amount, this money will continue to move from one user to another when used as a means of payment and I think not everyone plans to hold bitcoin. So of course it is quite used by people all over the world and bitcoin worth mentioning as currency.

Its enough if you are confuse this is my explanation. 1 bitcoin compose of 1billion satoshi so if you think again that if the value of satoshi can become 1 dollar, we will do the math 21 million times 1 billion = more than enough to supply the world. Maybe 1 dollar in 1 satoshi is impossible because of the large fees, 1000 to 10000 satoshi per dollar is better.

I think 21 million bitcoin is enough because if we compare bitcoin to other currency bitcoin has very expensive price than other currency, and as of July 2 2018 the equivalent of  1 bitcoin is 6331 USD

Think of this proper fund bitcoin for bitcoin because of the huge amount of money passed for bitcoin and many investors also invested in it because money of bitcoin is the base here and so on the price usually other investors focus on other coins so there is not yet the whole human money on bitcoin invested.

according to my knowledge that is enough. It is normal to have something very limited amount of bitcoin currency, because part of buying and selling. The price and value of the bitcoin currency never rise if we have or possess unlimited resources. then they mine all the coins they milki, it only becomes a very long time.

This is true. When you begin to understand the demand and supply of it together with the price decreasing and increasing, many will continue to invest and the supply will last as the value gets higher and higher.

Whether or not it depends on how you set up your boss and how you create it if you view it enough you will have a way to make it fit and enough for your ability and condition.

Yes it is enough already.It can already change our life into a better one.Knowing those number of bitcoin it can make our life more better than nothing.In my opinion if bitcoin will increase more then the value of it become more lower.

Will 21 million bitcoins be enough? Completely. Such a limited amount is made for that. so that over time the price of its hundred millionth part - Satoshi - grew. Already, there are many other good coins for use as a means of payment. Bitcoin, apparently, will be used more as a means of accumulating value, and with it we will still have problems in connection with this. He will sometimes take off in price and also sometimes fall quickly. In relation to him, we will see in full force what is the large volatility of the crypto currency.

Yes, it is enough.  But I guess, it is not the bitcoin-only that will be used as one world currency but cryptocurrency as a whole.  I believe that it is not about the volume but it is about the value and the functionality of the cryptocurrency.  Besides, there are many other altcoins in the market.  It is the principle on how cryptocurrency works that will be used in future.  

21 millions is more than enough as when btc will be used more frequently its division satoshi is sufficient small for daily tradings.

This will ensure that there will be no inflation as per fiat money and this is a huge advantage of btc vs fiat. Still the price is very influenced by whales, news etc but in the future the price will be more and more given by demand/offer.

Do you think another currency will replace btc? Because blockchain is so popular, one can make thousands of other coin.

very enough once gan. but I also have to earn income from the real world. when facing the declining price of the digital world. to meet my daily needs. because I always invest long term .

For you what is the minimum amount to trade for each dollar spent?

Its big enough for the future considering bitcoin can be divided into smallest part which is satoshi  that is equivalent to 1btc = 100m sat so if the demands becomes too huge to handle Im sure 1 sat will also have huge value in that moment lets say 1 sat might be equal to $1 in the future.   

I think the opportunity for bitcoin to be made as a means of payment is still very large because to the rapidly evolving technology, it will make the country interested to take advantage of bitcoin as a means of transactions in the future with the help of the government that began to formalize it.

Yes it his , I think if you have one Bitcoin then you are lucky enough because some people want to have bitcoin but the hurtful thing is it is just a scammer uses Bitcoin for some money, what i say is if you have bitcoin then you are gifted at least you have.

I think it is enough for the future and wait for your turn to get profited. Hold all your bitcoins for your future 21 million bitcoin is already a huge amount especially if bitcoin price will rise up again these days. Let's wait and see.

That is why a lot of investors want to see bitcoin reaching $250k to $1M so it will be enough for people around the world. We need to help bitcoin achieve that price so it would not be a problem scattering the parts of bitcoin to consumers because a couple of sats is just right for them.

That is enough and after reaching the max supplies I'm sure bitcoin price will become more valuable and 21 million supply for sure will circulate to the market and I think that is enough for the future, So better to hold and buy more because having one bitcoin in the future can make us rich.

it seems that with only a supply of 21 million, it will not last long, with the world's population of billions will certainly require more stock, but for this addition is very unlikely, certainly only with hardfork to be able to stabilize the price that can be done.

Yeah i think people are misinterpreting here the supply of btc at 21m. It's not a bad thing since it would likely stabilize a lot more and the 21 millionth btc isn't expected to be mined way into the future probably exceeding a decade.

In my opinion, the total number of coins that exist are some 21 million and from what I have heard from sources are 17 million have already been mined. Maybe for the current time and the current market rates 21 million would be enough as we move towards the number of coins mined to 21 million till then the prices will be too high for any common man to buy so maybe 21 million would be enough.

I think 21 million bitcoin is enough, considering not only bitcoin, there are many other altcoins, to have Bitcoin we do not have to buy at least 1 coin. but we can have Bitcoin just by buying half or a quarter of Bitcoin's. I think that's enough with that amount. And Simply or not, only time will show, but in any case, we must accept this and take it for granted.

I think 21 million bitcoin is enough for all of us. With such numbers I think a bitcoin will be split up into smaller units to satisfy the user. and it could also become the world's currency.

I believe that bitcoin is an unending source of cryptocurrency.  It is like a fountain of youth. As time pass by, there are challenges encountered but at least are surpassed. This challenhes affects its value but im a long run, there is this redeeming of bitcoin back to its value that we are used to.

Actually in my opinion  it's enough.There are many cryptocurrencies in the world. That's why 21 millions  is enough for the payments.  :)

Yes indeed, it's enough! Yet the nature of volatility isn't stagnant just like the fiat but he more Bitcoin demands needed, the more price increase! In this way, the bitcoin supply will not fall into scarcity today, tomorrow and the future!  8)

Yeah, I also think the same thing as you say. Of course, this is not enough if bitcoin want to perform its function as a means of payment with the amount of only 21 million coins. This is very inadequate, especially the bitcoin is decentralized so for the size of the whole world then it is not enough. Therefore, if bitcoin will realize its ideals as a means of payment then from now on bitcoin must increase the number of coins so bitcoin more ready if used as a means of payment. I just hope that bitcoin immediately adds to the amount of coins accompanied by improved quality and innovation to bitcoin.
