I didn't get the data from blockchain or coinmarket cap.
My approximation was based on 17 000 000 - (10500000 (coins mined at 50 reward) + 5 250 000 (coins at 25)) /12.5 (current reward) = 100 000 blocks after the last laving.
So the block that will mine the 17 million coin will be block 210000+210000+100000, block 520 000.
Since we're at block 519894 we're still short 106*12.5 coins
.
it will be a little higher than block 520,000 because of the truly lost coins. i don't know how many of them have happened so far but i know of two cases:
12.5
BTC on block 501726

BTC will never be in circulation because it was never created (claimed by the miners finding the blocks)
Oh, I forgot about those, so basically ...less coins
, less offer ...much moon sir
I also remember now the FUD (although lightweight) about bitcoin being broken....
Anyhow , block 520001
https://blockchain.info/block-height/520001was mined at 2018-04-26 10:52:54 (probably GMT???) so the op was wrong by one full day.
That is pretty bad, to be off one day when you think it's going to happen tomorrow...
It would be fun to know how accurate you are in analyzing the possibilities of bitcoin being entirely used. But whatever it is that you have in mind may just happen or probably not at all because in reality the market is not controlled by one person alone, but by the entire world of users.
What do you mean by that?
Bitcoin "entirely" used
?
But I guess I'll never find out...
