Bitcoin just hit the 15,000,000 mark!

[calkob]

Only 6 Million Bitcoins left!   Are we at 15,000,000 bitcoins already? Time flies, doesn't it? I'm looking forward to see what the future will hold and hope you will join me along for the ride.

Wow,,,,,,, when you put it like that it really hits home, and them 6 million are spread out over the next 100 years or so.  The future looks strong with this one........

I believe 15M is, by chance, a sort of milestone, since the remaining 6M are going to be much harder to mine.

Next major milestone is obviously the upcoming reward halving by the end of June...

[maokoto]

Which means I am currently owing 1/1000,000 part of Bitcoin. Great, round number. Only 6 million more to go!

How much will it take to go to 20 million?

[lolgato]

Only 6,000,000 coins left to be mined probably gonna get some of the stash later on

[the_poet]

kool sh*t! fun fact: theres nearly enough btc in the wild now to have 1 btc for each person in Buenos Aires, Argentina  (2014 pop = 15,024,000)

In the (near?) future we'll get accustomed to subunits like mBTC: 1 Bitcoin will become too big to handle in everyday transactions.

much like no one bothers to measure gold in tonnes anymore

Did gold really use to be measured in tonnes? Lol If Btc follows the same path, satoshi will soon become the unit of choice

Oh yes. Look into the history books and early traders had carts with 1-2 ton lumps of gold hauled by several hundred slaves so they could buy a nice lunch out on the road.

One of the best things about bitcoin is its scarcity so the value of it will increase if more people start using it.

By reaching 12 million , we still have 750k to the next halving

I hadn't been paying attention to the number of coins mined until I read this thread. I'm shocked there are now 15 million mined. That many mined coins dilutes Satoshi's stash. Not so long ago he had 10% of all mined coins, but now it's less than 10%, and slowly heading towards 5%.

20M is, the hardest part is the last 1M, it will take many decades until the fee era

after 2024-2028, there is already no point, in looking at the halving

[Chris!]

Woohoo! Another great milestone for Bitcoin! Next will be the halfing in 2016. I hope these all make it on the news to spread more awareness of Bitcoins as a whole.

I wish there was some way to know how many 'lost' Bitcoins there were at any given time. You could make an educated guess I suppose but nothing too accurate.

Happy 15 Million Bitcoins everyone!

It will be amazing to see when we will reach total bitcoins mined,on that time we will see what will be the value of bitcoin,and the big question is will we be alive to see our baby growing and being mined till last block?

The block reward will be negligible long before all the coins are mined. If there is to be genuine deflation then we'll see it before all of us here are toast.

Fantastic screencap, it's such a rare number to see a round number like that, I wonder if Satoshi predicted that we would hit the 15 million landmark right during xmas.

[knowhow]

I doubt he had predicted such thing,the same way he didnt know his or her creation would be a huge sucess ,he made something and the suport people made bitcoin being alive and bringed anothers altcoins into the world,allowing people to be rich from one day to another,and be part of financial investments people that are taking a fee to their life.But well i really hope to be alive to see what will happen with bitcoin after mining ends,im curios and there are several years ahead to this question as an answer.

[newcripto]

It is good to see even after hitting the 15,000,000 mark price are much more stable and it is pretty decent range at around 450$ for a while.It is really a milestone for Bitcoin.

So, now the tendency is btc getting more expensive as it get's harder to mine?

[Kprawn]

This gives us 6 000 000 reasons to buy more Bitcoins in the coming months... We cannot imagine what will happen if this goes mainstream. The "Halvening" would surely put some

pressure on the demand in the coming year, once people realize what it means and how much coins can be mined. The Satoshi stash makes it even more valuable, once those

coins are subtracted. We are sitting on a gold mine and many people do not recognize that.

Meh. Adoption and real world applications still seem like unreachable dreams.

[buddu]

This is very encouraging chart which shows 15 millions Bitcoin are in supply and I think next year is to go mainstream right after halving of blocks will take place.We have great and prosper future together with Bitcoin.
