That's interesting to read different opinions about miners's future, furthermore I have another question - How long will it take to generate all the coins to hit 21m bitcoins?

Bytecoin (BCN) - true anonymity, privacy protection and only CPU-mining

Some people will mine for transactions fees or there will be some people who will do just that, that is companies. Who knows, we can't know for sure that we know as well that we won't live to see it.

Around 2140 all coins will be mined.

Around 2140 all satoshis will be mined.

The last whole BTC will be mined by 2040.

I'm 65 years old and I might even be still alive in 2040.

By then Bitcoin will be successful or a failure. I doubt it will only be a niche thing at that point. If it's successful, there will be millions of transactions fighting to be included in a block. Miners will be fine. If it is a failure (replaced by something else), well... who cares about how Bitcoin miners get paid? Smiley

If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.

It's 2140 not 2040 so a lot of us will not be alive.

You failed to read the post you've quoted, didn't you?

It's a fair question, I think that some people will pay larger fees to get their transaction processed - or perhaps the value of Bitcoin will be much higher.

It's an interesting thought.

Or maybe he just isn't wise. Anyways, since it decreases by half constantly, we won't really see the difference. The fees will slowly grow.

OK so there is an x factor!

Once the bitcoin becomes more of a mainstream medium for commerce it will
create exponential transaction explosion. This will in turn lead to increased block transactions wich leads to more
rewards wich leads to reaching the 21 million mark at a more accelerated time frame. When well thats still a speculative guess at best. So the main point here is that the current growth of the market cap (float) is largely a product of investors hoarding or trading bitcoin. This is infinitesimal compared to the bitcoin as currency being used in mainstream commerce.
