All paid signature campaigns should be banned.

first of all is the fact that we can never mine all the 21 million coins because reward is halved so it will never actually reach zero.

Not true.

The mining reward does go to zero after is it one satoshi per block.

This will happen in about the year 2140.

21,000,000.. max

This is the only correct answer that i see. Grin

haha, that is actually not technically correct

first of all is the fact that we can never mine all the 21 million coins because reward is halved so it will never actually reach zero.

secondly is taking all the lost coins into consideration, a lot are burned by being sent to burn addresses, a lot are lost because someone forgot the private keys.

third if we ignore all the second step, there is 1 satoshi from missing from all the mining rewards thanks to a miner who intentionally got underpaid 1 satoshi less as an honor to satoshi missing. so even if all the coins are mined the total number will be 21 million minus 1 satoshi.

But you still forgot something important. We can't send the max amount because there will no transaction fee will left for the transaction. Hahaha. But honeslty speaking. There is no such maximum amount for BTC to send right now because it is impossible to gather all BTC in one wallet.

~~first of all is the fact that we can never mine all the 21 million coins because reward is halved so it will never actually reach zero.~~ apparently it goes to zero after block 6930000. thanks BurtW

Interesting question,i`ve never thought about this before.
There are no limitations in the blockchain,but i`m sure that all the exchange platforms will create more and more transaction limits in the future.

Slava Ukraini!

These who are saying that there are no limit for amount of bitcoins that you can send, is lying.
You can't send more than ~ 16 305 238 bitcoins (total amount of bitcoins mined until now). You can send only less than that amount, because you would need to pay huge fee. Offcourse, this is only theorical things.
Offcourse it's posdible to send 5000 or 10000 bitcoins in single transaction. But I'm sute that fee for such transaction would be huge.

There is no limit in sending bitcoin. We can do various kinds of transactions in accordance with our wishes.
Bitcoin gives you something like this. We are free to do anything, compare try with other media that have many limitations.
