Eligius Wait a second, I'm confused now is it 2140 or 2040? Many people say either one or the other year. Who's right?

By that point there'll be a Satoshi religion. The final coin will be hand calculated by a congregation of billions all gathered in the grand canyon.

The difficulty will be so high that a pool will mine it, not one individual.
And what is the final reward for a block? 4 coins? 1 coin?
EDIT: read in the other thread the reward will be near zero, so… yeah.

I often wonder whether bitcoin will still be around in year 2140?
I believe in cryptos. They will be around in 2140, but bitcoin as we know today might not be alive. Technologies will be much more advanced and bitcoin may have been phased out by newer generations of cryptos. Bitcoin would be so "old tech", they dropped backward compatibility to it. The last block reward could not be mined because there the new internet could not accommodate the bitcoin protocol...
Not an improbable scenario. 100 years is an extremely long time for techoolgies.

Silly thread, but with a simple answer: nobody, it won't be worth mining.

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

As you're so confident of it failing, I think someone, somewhere will mine the last fraction using the processors in their futuristic silvery cape and then sink into their hot tub on Titan whilst having a nostalgic chuckle.

Someone without a clue posting utter crap as if it was fact? On the spec sub forum? NEVER

As stated in the above postings, the last block will have a reward of much less than 1 coin. If you care for a word problem: The block reward is planned to halve every 4 years for 132 years with an original block reward of 50. How many coins will be issued in the last block?

If the miners switch off their mining rigs, who or what then powers the Bitcoin p2p network? The Blockchain will be phucking humongous by then.
