Topic: How old would you be by 2140? - page 5. (Read 973 times)

The year 2120 may come to earth but in that year 2140 I may not be alive on earth especially at the current average life expectancy of human being I have spent 40% of my life time so I may not be alive till 2100. Now my current age is 27 years so in 2140 my age will be 146 years which is not possible for a human being to live that long. Or in some other way there is no guarantee that one will live to be 146 unless a miracle occurs.

But I don't understand this, can you explain more clearly? When all 21 million bitcoins have been mined, what does it mean to maintain mining machines? And who will operate those miners if they are no longer profitable for miners? I believe that if the price of bitcoin does not continue to increase and is no longer profitable for miners, then miners will soon give up mining and we do not need to wait until all the bitcoins are mined.

Also, we have no certainty that bitcoin will exist until then, discussion of what will happen in the next 100 years is quite vague.

That is if many of us presently will still be alive till then, 2140 is not a child's play, we have many years to come in achieving this, we may considers our children and grandchildren as the beneficiary of this particular period when the time comes, so what we are investing today is for the future of our coming generations to, this is to shows us that bitcoin has come to stay and will be for generations, i see no excuse no matter what for someone not to take advantage in making an investment today and secure the future for himself and his generations coming.

Well, we all have the opportunity to leave a good memory for our great-grandchildren. Just as with inheritances, which are considered family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation, we can help our next generations become better people or live better lives. Leaving just a certain part in a separate place will make a great gift, right? By no means am I turning into a madman who never spends something for himself, but it is quite possible to keep a small part for a long time. For memory. It's sad, but I think we would all be happy with such a gift.

 Well the raise of Man is on continuity, it's the enerst expectations of everything man that their children should inherit the success, therefore as Bitcoiner if as at 2140 one is not able to make it, let it be that Bitcoin has dominated the world and our upcoming generation enjoy the good work.

Just as those that develop fiat currency many are no more but it value and usage go round the world, so it will be in case of Bitcoin.

I’d be dead by 2140 and it would take a miracle for me to be still
alive by that time. I am already holding bitcoin but for others
who do not have bitcoin: it’s either they just don’t believe in it or
it’s too expensive and they can’t afford it. The latter is a justified
reason to be honest, it’s unfortunate but you can’t just throw everything just
to buy bitcoin. So I would understand if not all people can buy bitcoin.

But bitcoin will be here for the next 100 years so I say work hard right now
until you can finally afford to buy some bitcoin.

1.By 2140 I will be 150 years old and I won't be alive for sure. I don't believe that the humans will successfully turn into cyborgs in the upcoming several decades.
2.That's a weird question. Why would anyone in a Bitcoin forum have an excuse to NOT invest or own Bitcoins? You should ask this question in a forum or group of Bitcoin/crypto haters, who will have plenty of excuses to not invest in BTC.
Why should we even care about the long term future of Bitcoin(after 100 years or more). Nobody can predict what will happen after 100+ years. Maybe quantum computers will destroy the blockchain. Maybe digital money(both fiat and crypto) will become obsolete.

A lot of us would be dead by 2140 so I wouldn’t even bother saying what is my current age. Instead let’s talk about the oldest living person right now which is Branyas Morera and she’s 116 years old . Let us say you somehow end up being one of a kind person and you live a lot longer than most people… how will you approach bitcoin by then? I know for a fact that bitcoin is here to stay but will it stay as the number one cryptocurrency for the next century? I don’t think so but if ever it is and you already bought your coins now and hold them until 2140… I am sure your kids and their kids even will be comfortable already no matter what  

Every single one of us on this forum right now are millionaires. The amount of Bitcoins we own right now is worth millions by 2140. The truth is that none of us would be able to spend the money on goods and services since 2140 is outside our life expectancy.

Your response clarifies what you mean in your topic, and yes, indeed, everyone should teach their relatives, children, or even grandchildren everything related to this digital gold. Because certainly, no investor will live until 2140 and witness the 32nd Bitcoin halving event, so he should pass what he learned to his close ones or leave them a quantity of Bitcoin to secure their future and so that they can continue after him his career in this profitable field without interruption.

With their sufficient knowledge and necessary experience, they can also engage in Bitcoin investment. Perhaps 100 years from now, we could be a good memory for them and a reason for their future happiness from the wealth they managed to accumulate from their long-term investments and holdings over time. As Bitcoin rises to the highest peak and levels it has achieved in the past, there will be no more Bitcoins created, and miners will depend on transaction fees.

It is not necessary to know if one will be alive or dead when the last bitcoin would be halved. The process is already programmed or automated for that time, if I am not mistaken. So therefore, it would definitely take place when the time comes for bitcoin to halve. Currently, we are just a few weeks away from halving, and we are all anticipating a good turnout as a result of the forthcoming halving. So therefore, age should not be a hindrance to being an investor or  a bitcoin hodler. It would even be better because your children would inherit your bitcoin investment if you were no more, and it goes from generation to generation.

With the above, I see no reason why one can not have the zeal and passion to get bitcoin for themselves as a long term investment plan. Even though one can not buy bitcoin, one can render services to earn bitcoin in payment for the services rendered. Skills, freelancing, etc. are just some of the things that can earn one bitcoin if they choose to do so.  However, other business ventures can decide to accept bitcoin if they deem it fit to do so.

Nevertheless, I believe the fuds and fomos are just a strategy by some group of few individuals who are always at their convenience to cause pannick while manipulating the market in their own favor so  that the faint-hearted would be fast to sell in order not to get trapped in the market  while making huge profit from the market. Recently, this was the case in bitcoin market and as usual, there was a drop in the price of bitcoin, leaving room for them to invest, ie buy more bitcoin to add to their already existing portfolio and allow the price to rise so they could take more profit

      The question is, is the world gone? It's hard to answer a question that hasn't actually happened yet. Then why do you want to know the ages of the community in that year? What is the connection with Bitcoin when you ask the age of the people here?

     While there's no doubt that it's okay for me to invest in bitcoin, I just can't quite figure out how your question relates to the topic discussed here in this section. It's like you gave a source link that is also unrelated to the title you made here.

Waiting for Bitcoin to finish in the mine will take hundreds of years from now, will we still be alive after 100 years? is it still a mystery, or we will only survive half of it. We don't expect to see what the future will be like with Bitcoin, we just have to give our next generation an understanding of how Bitcoin will work in the future. Giving an inheritance in the form of bitcoin assets would also be an extraordinary inheritance. we just need to be prepared for that.

Obviously no one here will be alive at 2140. But you don't need to wait to be able to see that almost all bitcoin has been mined. And that date as well is just an estimate, so it could be +/-. That estimation is based on "every block is solved every 10 minutes". But no, some blocks have been found less than 10 minutes or more than.

And by year 2032, as per that table, almost 99% of bitcoin have been mined. So that time, for sure some of us will still be alive. As the last 1% will be mined till 2140. So we will get the feel already that again "almost all bitcoin has been mined already".

2140?

I'm not sure what we're thinking, but most of the people here are >100 years old and even >200 years old, but ironically we don't have enough longevity to see everything happen. It's like how the kings of the past thought about their current lives, vaguely, but always wished everything well in the future.

Because I have had some memorable experiences with bitcoin, I am sure that I will always be ready to buy bitcoin when I have free money, at this stage the excitement of growth brings excitement. There are many stories that are repeated as well as talked about bitcoin.

Bitcoin network is lively operating by Proof of Work (PoW) consensus.

Who works on the network?
Miners
Nodes

Bitcoin miners spend their inputs like ASICs (in the past are CPUs, FGPA, GPUs), to find blocks and get their income through both sources: block subsidy that halves every 210,000 blocks about 4 years; and from transaction fee.

Their income will be good if one of two income sources is good or both are good, it will be perfect for them.

Bitcoin network will continue after 2140 when all 21M bitcoins mined by miners, because miners will continue to get income by confirm transactions and receive transaction fee.

If I was still given life I would be 151 years old. But it seems that I won't make it to that age.

My reason is to make a profit (money) to help improve the family's economic situation for the better. This is because my salary is certainly not enough for me to save for the future. So I currently use crypto investment partly for the short term and long term.

As much as I agree with your sentiment, I can't help but be an optimist that it's never going to happen and the world ending weapons that superpower nations have are going to create a stalemate that would make it so that we live in an artificial kind of peace. I think that humanity would be able to survive until that time and even though the current politics is so heated, it's probably in our best interest to know that they're all empty threats and the media just wants us to get scared so we can't have meaningful thinking, all paranoia no dialogues. Regards to how old I'm going to be, I'd rather not answer that because it seems to me like it's on the side of personal information and I don't think I'll ever be revealing any of that but I'm definitely a dead man by that time and the only way that I can witness that is if along the way, we got rid of death or old age. I'm curious as to what's going to happen to this forum after those years, that's going to be something worth looking out for if you ask me, rather than the age of the people in the bitcoin space, it's the second most that I'm curious about.

To you @oktana, stop the doomscrolling on your social media, get out of the house, ask your friends or loved ones to go out with you, it's better if you enjoy each day and not be worried too much about what you can't control over the other countries, sometimes ignorance is a bliss.

It's 116 years from now and if you will be born in 2024, you will not likely still be alive in 2140.

But the reality is worse than that, you were born much earlier than 2024 as now you can read, write, use devices to connect to Internet and access the forum. Very likely you are at least teenager at this moment so it is very impossible to be alive in 2140.

Even if you will be alive in that year, your body and mentality will not likely be good.

So please don't care about what will happen after you already die.

See Bitcoin controlled supply and Bitcoin Equivalent Network Time.

I though this was basic knowledge for all Bitcoin supporters, that mining doesn't stop even after the entire Bitcoin supply has been mined.


*I'm sure none of us here, and anybody alive today for that matter, would still be breathing in 2140, so there's no point asking for our age by then. We'd all be long dead already.

*I don't think there's somebody in this forum who has an excuse for not investing or owning Bitcoin. I don't think this question is reasonable here. This could be asked in some other non-Bitcoin centered forum.
