March, the 30th of 2015. Today's a big day. The 14 millionth BTC shall be mined in a few hours. This may be terrible news.
This equals to two thirds of all BTC, and I wonder if this was what Satoshi Nakamoto had in mind. When I discovered BTC, I learned the idea of a money supply which would be fully controlled and slow-growing. This over 150 years, but today we see that after only 6 years, less than one tenth of the supposed time to mine all BTC, two thirds have already been mined. Was that the plan? Or could there be too many miners, accelerating the growth of money supply faster than planned?
Dude you need to take some classes on what deflation is and how inflation is to be avoided since if you want that we already got fiat. The release of coins on BTC is perfect and favors those that took the risk to be there at the beginning the most.

Out of the 14 million plus coins, how many are lost coins? A lot of people (especially the earliest miners) lost their private keys due to negligence....

No. It's quite hard to get a total sum, or estimate. We can't really know which address is lost. There was one thread, which I can't seem to find, where known losses were being recorded. I highly doubt that we could say that it is 'a lot' maybe in a few years. It's definitely within a reasonable amount, maybe even under 100k? Anyhow Bitcoin can be divided, so this should not be a problem.

Here is the thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7253.0I agree that it is very difficult to measure accurately.

I heard someone said that the entire Bitcoin economy could, theorically, work on a single BTC. Is this true??

Don't worry, bitcoin mining reward will be halved every 4 years So, bitcoin won't inflate too much anymore ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) And, when next halving happens. You will see bitcoin price increased ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Yes, my thoughts exactly. The only problem is the fact we cannot rely on block halving to support and increase the price.

It's not a big deal, nothing changed. There are still 1/3 of Btc waiting to mine.
Yup, and I think the last 1/3 is going to be worth way, way more than the first 2/3.

Yes, 1 btc is infinitely divisible, although right now the smallest denomination recognized is 1 satoshi, 0.00000001 BTC. So if only 1 btc existing we could divide it down as small as was required.
