GoogleEngineer almost 9 years agoThe 2140 Bitcoin Cap
There is an arbitrary cap of around 21 Million Bitcoins in existence (absolutely no more than this will ever be made). It's calculated that the final Bitcoin will be distributed in 2140.
Because of this people speculate that it's value will spike greatly, when they are no longer mineable or purchasable by traditional means.
I'm going to buy a single Bitcoin and pass it down my family for generations so that the family member that experiences the 2140 Bitcoin Cap will be able to cash out on my small predicted investment.
