I really don't get it why the first 17 million was mined within 9 years and the remaining 4 million is being predicted to be mined probably more than 9 years.

Bitcoin was developed to simulate scarcity, like for instance Gold. The difference is, we know exactly how many bitcoins there

will be and when the Block reward will stop. In Gold, new deposits are frequently found, so they are dealing with unknown

parameters to determine it's value. After the Block reward runs out, these miners will compete for the miners fees and we

hope that would be enough to sustain their profits.  Roll Eyes Huh

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I'm more interested in the question of what price will be for bitcoin, when all that can be obtained?
