I think you're mistaken.
Yes, for many people the "untouchable" 21M-limit is one of the most important features of Bitcoin, quite some consider Ether to be a "shitcoin" because it lacks such a hard-coded untouchable upper limit. Still, the 21M number is unimportant. If it had been 21G, the growth would probably have been equally spectacular, the only difference is that a person owning 0.001 BTC today would have been owning 1 BTC in such a scenario. The important thing is that the number is constant and set in stone from the start of the project.
I could be making a painting now, and it would be truly unique - the only tobixen-oil-on-canvas-painting ever to be made (I promise!). One day I'll be dead, and I don't even need to make any promise, it really will be the only oil-on-canvas-painting that I ever made. Would it be valuable? Probably not - even though van Gogh probably made a thousand oil-on-canvas paintings, his paintings are probably still more valuable than what mine would ever be.
That's still a poor analogue, because the number of paintings is a discrete number - while the number of bitcoins are not. Actually, he unit isn't Bitcoins, but Satoshis. There will never be produced more than 2.1*10^15 satoshis ... hm.
whats the use minimum they allow fr transaction is 50000 satoshi...only wat to go lower is mining and trust me mining makes no profit unless u invest too much in hardware....im into mining hardly get few bucks out of itplus lost 800k last week cz nicehash miner crashed lost all profit i got
I did invest a bit into viabtc mining contracts when they introduced their offer. I believe I've already gotten back all the BTCs invested, and measured in fiat I for sure got a very healthy payback on the investment.
I believe mining at home can be profitable if one does pool mining, has cheap electricity, good internet connectivity (bandwidth is not that relevant - what matters is a stable internet connection and a low, stable latency towards the pool servers) and if one knows what one is doing.
yeah but difficulty has gotton up alot now.......i used to mine with 6gekkoscince with around 70 GH/s hardly made profit
i think ones bitcoin reaches its full potential..... people will start shifting to low cap alt coins and i think they will go fr currencies like dash zcash other than developer platform currencies making these currencies gud long term...i think its better to switch b4 its too late
