They are not free if they take your time, and if they take your time you can as well just work.

First, the answer to your question is no.

Second, there will never be 21 million in existence.  As a matter of fact, there will never even be 20,999,999.9769 in existence.


Because when there isn't very much of something, and people want that something, it INCREASES in value. This is how the law of supply and demand in economics works. For example:  There will never be more than one "real" Mona Lisa painting.  After that one painting was completed, did it become worthless?


Bitcoin is worth as much as it is right now because:

• There isn't very much of it
• The people who want it are willing to pay that much for it
• The people who have it are unwilling to sell it for less

How do any of those things change when all the bitcoins have been mined?


The exact date is impossible to know right now, but it will most likely be somewhere around the year 2104 (give or take a few years).

But the scrowed bitcoins hasnt been moved from the original bitcoin address , so maybe he has other troubles.

I believe that is 2140.



@OP
While those who wants to make a quick buck will create some ups and downs on the price, it is the general adoption of bitcoin that is interesting for the rest of us, and that should be a good old exponential curve in the longer run, due to the network effect.

Also, there is no technical reason why bitcoin should drop in price when we hit 21M. Just like gold didn't loose its value when the gold-rush was over

we all now this is anonymous place just because of this nobody known others we all are doing here all this just as aliens
