the reason is very simple. the minor will stop mining. the the bitcoin supply will decrease and therefore the demand will increase. so people will start buying bitcoin with a high rate which will increase the price of bitcoin.

minner stop mining bitcoin big effect is bitcoin,
transaction slowly, trust down, and bitcoin down down price,
and community bitcoin is price down trust down too, multiple effect accident is miner stop mining

maybe if the termination of mining bitcoin , bitcoin be very unsafe if indeed it happens . however , I do not agree with you , if mining stops. I think the miners would stop if something else had killed bitcoin . bitcoin miner is designed to always provide incentives , maintaining and securing the network mining . if miners do not provide assurance / incentives to I am , then I say bitcoin has failed .

miners its just a tools to dig some bitcoin but bitcoin itself is cryptocurrency that we can buy and sell, and if miners stop mining bitcoin, then bitcoin still continue because there are many bitcoin available on the market, so do not worry.

but what if people know because mining process stops, and the number of bitcoin will not increase, and with it people would think bitcoin prices continue to rise and eventually people will continue to hoard bitcoin without anyone willing to sell. If it continues to happen sustainable bitcoin will die. Just my opinion

[dunfida]

In my opinion if miners stop mining Bitcoin the supply of the coins remains steady and the price would rise because of high demand and low on supply but the question comes thru my mind is Bitcoin is already millions circulating to the network,its impossible to drop it's price as others saying Bitcoin would die or failed. Just my opinion though.

More or less it's will happen with the supply... because the miners are the main bitcoin supplier.... and the price will rising with faster because bitcoin is become a rare things you can get....

now is good price , dont wait buy some bitcoins and dont sell

[Wowcoin]

If miners stop mining bitcoin i think all trading site or mining site using bitcoin will close because if miners stop the supply of bitcoin become low coz many traders sell there bitcoin they have panic selling before bitcoin getting the price is low. That only base in my opinion.
 Bitcoin getting lost if miners stop mining.

First of all, hello to everybody . I am recently join the forum and I would say thanks to all for sharing information and experience.


In my personal opinion, The way out from this problem is that in the future, every person who have a Bitcoin must be the miner of itself.
I would like to explain what i mean: If everyone have the opportunity to be a miner, due to the technological progress which decrease the cost of mining, and due to a simplification of the interface that users should use to use the software (to confirm blocks), and work together into a big pool, and get paid for that, there isn't risk of crack for Bitcoin. Also the owners of Bitcoin would make stable the value of it.

I apologize if my English is not perfect.

You need to gain idea on Blockstream Satellite. There are few satellites launched to allow people who do not have any access to internet. Yet with the use Blockstream Satellite they can exchange bitcoins, which does not need the access to internet.

I hope this never happens. The miners are interested in BTC support, they make huge money ,so i dont see the reasons for them to quit right now. But i don't know what happens when will Lightening network will integrated...so , fees should reduce and the interest of miners possibly will be reduced.

after all what is the reason why they stop mining if the bitcoin price is as good as this? I think it will be difficult to happen. if they stop mining it means they miss a good chance. But if that happens, miners stop mining, then the outstanding bitcoin will become more expensive.

No transactions would be processed nor would any new cin be unlocked. It's pretty straight forward.

[Rath_]

We would have a serious problem if miners switched to another cryptocurrency (which by the way is very unlike to happen). Bitcoin developers would be forced to change the algorithm to allow GPU mining or even switch to Proof of Stake which differs a lot from Proof of Work. Bitcoin is one of the most profitable cryptocurrencies to mine on ASICs. The biggest risk are hard forks which may take away huge amount of miners from the "legacy Bitcoin".

[coinSpecter32]

If for some reasons bitcoin mining will be halted. I think all of the transaction won't be processed. No one can withdraw thier money, invest, or transfer their funds.

[MrMaxwell]

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is already significantly more profitable to mine than Bitcoin. Many miners are switching to Bitcoin Cash already and Bitcoin transaction times and mining fees are skyrocketing.

Bitcoin is slowly dying...

[rivercorei]

If miners stop mining the network, than the security is degraded and the network would be susceptible to attacks such as the infamous %51 attack       . But that will not happen unless bitcoin's price drops down to 100$ or smth like that. As long as mining is profitable, people will be mining bitcoins.

I hope not. I still have high hopes in bitcoin. If the problems in bitcoins won't be fixed, I guess it would mean end to it.
