In the
next topic, it was asked whether small buyers should rely on bitcoin. Your post provides an answer to this question. If in 2134 or 2138 year miners were only getting 1 sat. for every block they mined, then today's small buyers with a couple of tens or hundreds of satoshi would be millionaires.
So, picture this: It's near the year 2134 or 2138, and we've experienced the last-ever bitcoin halving. At this point, miners are going to get only 1 Satoshi per mined block, plus transaction fees. It's a far cry from the current scenario and for the next period of 4 years only 210000 new satoshis will be created. That made me think that we need to start trying to save every satoshi available.
Actually, that's right. This was the case in previous years. A couple of bitcoins seemed like a mere trifle, and now these are already impressive amounts. The same will happen with satoshi. Now it costs almost nothing, but in the future, it will become difficult for many. If I were a bitcoin-hater, I would still spend a couple of tens of bucks for a few satoshi and put it in my wallet and keep it for a very long time, forgetting for years. If my expectations are not justified, then the losses are small, but if they are justified, then even a couple of satoshi can pleasantly surprise in the future.
On the other hand, for folks like us, the incentive to spend our bitcoins may decrease. With rewards diminishing and fees on the rise, there's a stronger argument for holding onto our digital treasure unless it's absolutely necessary. Think of it as a futuristic savings account where every satoshi saved feels like a victory.
In the future, there may be an incentive to pay in bitcoin. It is never known what the
BTC-community will invent and in what direction it will move, but in any case, saving some bitcoin/satoshi will benefit the holders.
If the forum survives until 2134-2138, then our dreams and discussions about bitcoin and the last halving will become historical artifacts.
