It will be amazing to see when we will reach total bitcoins mined,on that time we will see what will be the value of bitcoin,and the big question is will we be alive to see our baby growing and being mined till last block?

The block reward will be negligible long before all the coins are mined. If there is to be genuine deflation then we'll see it before all of us here are toast.

Woohoo! Another great milestone for Bitcoin! Next will be the halfing in 2016. I hope these all make it on the news to spread more awareness of Bitcoins as a whole.

I wish there was some way to know how many 'lost' Bitcoins there were at any given time. You could make an educated guess I suppose but nothing too accurate.

Happy 15 Million Bitcoins everyone!

I believe 15M is, by chance, a sort of milestone, since the remaining 6M are going to be much harder to mine.

Next major milestone is obviously the upcoming reward halving by the end of June...

20M is, the hardest part is the last 1M, it will take many decades until the fee era

after 2024-2028, there is already no point, in looking at the halving

I hadn't been paying attention to the number of coins mined until I read this thread. I'm shocked there are now 15 million mined. That many mined coins dilutes Satoshi's stash. Not so long ago he had 10% of all mined coins, but now it's less than 10%, and slowly heading towards 5%.

Young but I'm not that bold

One of the best things about bitcoin is its scarcity so the value of it will increase if more people start using it.

By reaching 12 million , we still have 750k to the next halving

Did gold really use to be measured in tonnes? Lol If Btc follows the same path, satoshi will soon become the unit of choice

Oh yes. Look into the history books and early traders had carts with 1-2 ton lumps of gold hauled by several hundred slaves so they could buy a nice lunch out on the road.

kool sh*t! fun fact: theres nearly enough btc in the wild now to have 1 btc for each person in Buenos Aires, Argentina (2014 pop = 15,024,000)

In the (near?) future we'll get accustomed to subunits like mBTC: 1 Bitcoin will become too big to handle in everyday transactions.

much like no one bothers to measure gold in tonnes anymore

Which means I am currently owing 1/1000,000 part of Bitcoin. Great, round number. Only 6 million more to go!

How much will it take to go to 20 million?

The sheer amount of coins arriving every day is an oft forgotten thing. I wonder how the BTC landscape will look when it's a trickle rather than a torrent.

How many coins are mined everyday?

average 3600 btc a day
(25btc * 6 times an hour * 24 hours)

I like numbers of bitcoin, definitely the best out of any cryptocurrency. I often forgot that we already have so many bitcoins mined.
Especially when you imagine that bitcoin could still possibly be mined in 22th century.

15M of which 3M probably locked forever, then from those 12M you have another 5M-10M in "hold mode"

the real available coins to be bought are a tiny drop compared to the total supply

less than 3mill locked.
but i agree that the amount of free flowing, regularly swapped coins is low.. after all btc china only moves 100,000 coins a day which is probably 20,000 real deposit coins moved 5 times (day trading)
bitfinex only moving 20,000 coins a day, probably 4000 in real deposit terms

so i think there is far less than 1mill coins hoarded on exchanges for regular use
