We all know here that there's a maximum number of bitcoin which is 21 million.

The answer to "what if we need more" is : we can always divide bitcoin.

Problem: bitcoin cannot be divided infinitely. It means that there's an absolut limit on the possible number of bitcoin. This number might look huge.

But remember: 640k was enough memory for anyone.

So, if it happens that we reach the maximum possible division of bitcoin, what will happen? Economicaly speaking and technically? What will we do?
