17,800,000 BTC already mined

[Asuspawer09]

Anyone noticed that we have breached 17,800,000 BTC already? Which means that 85% of all BTC have been mined. And in the next 10+ years we can all assumed that 'almost' all bitcoin is mined already. Have you accumulated at least 1 BTC in your wallet?

Current bitcoin mined:  17,851,062 BTC 

It has a good and bad effect in the marketplace when it come to the price of bitcoin in the market. If we mine all of the bitcoin the supply will surely going down and meaning I guess the bitcoin price will rise also there is a high percentage of bitcoin that is lost from a forgotten wallet address that will never be recover again that is also a big contribution in the market. The more of the investors in bitcoin the higher the bitcoin price will rise having the bitcoin price rise is a good thing but if it doesn't regulate it might have a bad effect in the community.

Yes according to reports we have already mined 18 million of bitcoin and next year halving will have a great impact on btc mining as rewards will be halved per block and for your information it will take another 110 years to mine the rest of btc as in next 10 years only 2 million btc can be mined due to rewards getting half to 6.5btc per block so it there is still lot time to complete the supply of btc.

I'm imagining the last bitcoin mined as a worldwide celebratory event, kind of like when Deep Thought answered the question to what is the meaning of life the universe and everything in The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And probably with a similar aftermath of letdown.

In 10 years we mined 18 Million Bitcoin, In the next 9 years we will mine 2 million, and 1 million to go for the next 90. most importantly, we will have 3 halvings in 9 years from today. Basically we will have almost 99 percent BITCOIN supply ever available to the world and by the end of 5th halving around 2028 we shall be really close to Global Adoption.

However, It’s hard to believe for those of us that started mining in 2009, it’s been an incredible journey. Maybe your first mined coin was worth less than a nickel but today, 30 coins will buy you a decent house just about anywhere in the US. I think in the next 5-10 years we can see cryptocurrency being a part of our regular lives the same way current technologies like the internet and mobile communications are.

A high percentage of bitcoins have already been extracted and an interesting question that can be asked is what will happen to the price when the total bitcoins have already been extracted? Because mining activity brings a high energy cost, we do not know the truth, but thinking about the shortage, it is very likely that its price will continue to rise to record values.

Analytically, if we look at it, we will know that bitcoin cost will actually become very expensive once the whole bitcoin has been mined, and reason being that bitcoin would have already been with the holders of it and there would not be anyone left to be mined again, which will make people who have it to be hoarding it and as they are hoarding it while request is becoming money, the value will gradually be appreciating which I think that this is how it will work then.

That was just based on assumption and based on the level of knowledge that I have about analyzing, there might still be more reason that another person have to for that believe and I am open to learning also. This is one of the basic reasons why I am trying as much as possible to hold bitcoin now.

Close to 1,000 coins are being mined per day as of now, and this will decline to around BTC500 per day after the next block reward halving. However, if you compared the daily volume, these numbers look minuscule. According to coinmarketcap, the 24-hour trade volume for Bitcoin was around $25 billion. And the value of 1,000 BTC which are mined every day comes to just $9 million (less than 0.1% of the daily trade volume). So I don't think that the block reward halving will have a major impact on the exchange rates.

I can’t even imagine what will be the value of one bitcoin in 10 years. Of course, its value will increase and the cost of mining will also increase, so this is a very good long-term investment. But I still have not collected a single bitcoin.

It is not too late to acummulate! $9k is a bargain! You may want to $8k around but I'd personally go and get some bitcoin at this price! Next few years will be great!

I don't have 1 BTC yet and I just entered the crypto market in early 2018. But I will continue to try to collect bitcoin. because all bitcoin holders say in 2020 when the number per block mined is reduced by half it can cause the price of bitcoin to rise. I am very motivated to continue to collect bitcoin. although my bitcoin number has not reached 1 but if the price of bitcoin soar it will be very valuable.

Luckily I own 1 BTC.
Almost, 18 million Bitcoin are mined and added to that almost 20% are lost and will remain as it is. This reduces the number to almost 14.5 million. Owning 1 BTC in a population of more than 7 Billion is a big thing in itself. I believe owning 1 BTC will become a luxury at a certain point. This can boost the price heavily.

That would be interesting to think that way but in the world of cryptocurrency where a lot of unexpected things happen.

I really hope that we can use BTC as regular mode of payment rather than just an investment like gold in the future because I believe that it would be treated that way in the future. There would be a lot of crytocurrency that would pop up as the time goes by which would be much better to use if we ever think to use the blockchain technology as a vital medium in doing transaction especially from overseas which would extremely save us the time doing it in a traditional way.

At the moment miners are rewarded with 12.5BTC per block mined. In 2020 it will reduce to 6.25BTC per block mined. There is a block reward halving every 4 years so if you do the maths the very last bitcoin will be mined in approx, the year 2140.

In as much that the block reward is halved every 4 years, did you consider the rate at which blocks are confirmed by miners?  This determines the number of bitcoin being mined within a specific moment in time. If the  frequency at which miners solve a block transaction increases, the rate at which block reward are given to miners will also increase.  This will make your calculation wrong regarding when the last bitcoin will be mined.  As years go by, there are new advancement entering the crypto space with regards to making bitcoin transactions faster. This advancement might affect the time range for the last Bitcoin to mined..
