I dont think that will happen because thinking about it, I don't think that bitcoin is already on its peak. There are still a lot of bitcoins to be mined meaning a whole lot of bitcoins to be added to the market and that means higher chance for the bitcoin price to increase. Also, lot of people are holding their bitcoins waiting for it to reach a price that would really make them very rich and I don't see them selling their bitcoins unless offered with a very very very handsome price.
I also agree with you that it will never happen, because the price of one bitcoin is very high and I also don’t think that one person have the investment to buy all the bitcoin as it is in a very large number. And the other thing is that if someone bought all the existing bitcoin, he will also offer if for sale, and if he do not, then there the controller of bitcoin must create more bitcoin to continue the business.

I can't imagine a person who can buy every coin in the blockchain. Bitcoin price will rise exponentially to reach unbelievable rates.
I can't even imagine the price of last bitcoin (If everybody want to sell to this buyer).
I can't even imagine the price of last bitcoin (If everybody want to sell to this buyer).
if anyone buys an existing bitcoin it is he who is the owner and the largest shareholder of bitcoin
Well, in that case the price would skyrocket, at least according to market laws
If someone will buy all the existing or the bitcoins that are left in the markets then the price will go very high and all of us will become happy because of the rise on the price and i think most of us will sell our bitcoin and that person who bought all the existing bitcoin will have a power to control the market using the supply of bitcoin and that will give him a chance to make bitcoin more profitable for him.
if someone have all bitcoin, just for what??
many possibility about it, like he will sell with high or low price. or people will not interest with bitcoin again, people will earn altcoin. but, no one will buy it.

Maybe in 2012 there are people who are able to buy all the existing bitcoin. but for now (in 2017) I think it's a very expensive thing. even though it's bill gates. now the price per 1 bitcoin is about $ 4588.77 and even then it can go up again. so I guess for now it will not be possible.
Some flash news from eastern Europe:
Russian oligarchs with president of Russia included , currently buying off the bitcoin!!!!
Hint: look up power outages in Russia and you will understand that is really happening!!!!

Yeah power outages means Russia has a plan to acquire all the bitcoins. By mining them....
The current reward is 12.5 btc per block or 500k$ per hour or 12 million$ per day.
Taking into account that there are at least 10 known Russian oligarch with a fortune of over 10 billions or 3 years of mining, I really doubt this is their plan.
They could acquire those coins far more cheaper and without headaches directly from the market.
The outages are a result of poor management , no investment no maintenance.
Even Putin was angry when the last one hit even the government and the some of structures run by the goverment.
The question is: Why would somebody WANT to buy them all? I don't see the point?
Hi, I am a noob to all this bitcoin stuffs. It sounds like an interesting idea but before I invest too much into it I have
some questions and concerns. Perhaps highest on my list of concerns is the possibility that someone will buy up all,
or most, of all the bitcoins that exist.
Will it be just like the existing economic system where the rich get richer on the backs of the poor?
Will that not destroy the whole bitcoin project and make whatever bitcoins I happen to get myself worthless?
I have read a few things on this kinda stuff and some of it sounds pretty scary. I don't know how much of it
is FUD or how feasible any of it is at all at all.
Please help me understand and ease my mind in regard to this issue.
Thank you

Decent point. Really appreciate you bring this to our attention. The decision to buy a coin should be based on real analysis of the coin. I found that people keep buying coins without have any knowledge of them. This is considered high risk. I found this great website: https://www.coincheckup.com They give great insights in the team, the product, advisors, community, the business and the business model and other techincal insights. Check for example: https://www.coincheckup.com/coins/Bitcoin#analysis To watch Bitcoin Analysis.
Though this idea is merely impossible but lets say it did happen, then i think i will find some other ways or industry to invest my money and start from scratch. Or i can invest it to other crypto currencies that are still growing and starting out. Afterall there's unlimited opportunities for you or for anyone here if ever this thing mihht happen especially you already know the trend and the industry.
Yersd it is impossible and it is not healthy too. The bitcoin must be distributed as many peoplae sa it can so that it has a healthy virtual economy. If it is controlled by only one person, then he only is using it and its boring and it defeated its purpose
It is just not practical for someone to buy all of the bitcoins because he will need all the little pieces around the world plus the more he buys the more expensive they will become and I don't think he will prefer to loose all his fortune on something that will be rendered useless after his total purchase.

Although that's not possible but even if for some reasons we imagine something like that to happen then it would be just like a dictator holding all the fiat currency and not letting it circulate in the market and then obviously the money he's holding will have no value or will become just worthless so same thing should happen to the bitcoins too eventually they would also become worthless if there were left none of it with anyone of us but all of them were in just one person's possession, it would become worthless I guess.
I read new comments , people you underestimate russian oligarchs , they store physical us dollars "assets" in rooms like 2 -4 floor building not in banks, some of them bought from China a lot of heavy bitcoin mining equipment and as i said earlier their hardware consume to much electricity so some Russian east country parts experiencing power outages!
I predict further heavy btc increase, still i am interested to original question what happens with btc if a major bulk of btc will be bought, all who own now the btc will become a instant millionaire which in my opinion is very good
Is there any regulations in BTC for such case?

haha The one who created this thread was a noob in 2012 now he is legendary
em sure he already learnt the answer to his queries back then
as for me i guess its not possible for one person to accumulate all the existing btc and even one can i think he wouldnt dare.
he would just make the market dead

Your idea is good but it is impossible. As it is now, the price of bitcoin is very high. Owning some bitcoin - you can already become a millionaire. Bitcoin decentralization a lot, I do not think anyone can buy all. Unless the price of bitcoin goes down. some questions and concerns.

in reality i think no one would dare to buy all the bitcoin available
most certainly people will just look for another kind
what you got would have no value at all
waste of money

can you buy all the gold , all the oil , all the mineral of the world ? So you are asking some random guy come out and buy all bitcoins ? moreover , bitcoin is now about 4000$ he must be like have over 90% of money in this world to buy all the bitcoins ! Also if he buy all the bitcoins ? Bitcoins may be loose price and he will be loose ! Noone can buy all bitcoins ! even donald trump said bitcoin is good but he doesn't invest in bitcoins !
This is not possible technically and in practise. One cannot buy all of the existing bitcoins via fiat Money. The price would go up 100x maybe. And other thing is that there is something known as 51% attack. If one has more than 50% of the total bitcoins, then he becomes the ruler.
