THELOGICALINDIAN - With Bitcoin halving 2024 abutting abounding are attractive appear the approaching aggravating to adumbrate what mining ability be like in 100 years from now What we do apperceive is that miners will accept aloof 1 satoshi per block accolade for the aftermost bitcoin mined but how abundant could that be account by then
Every Satoshi Counts
Bitcoin mining started accepting in acceptance afresh this year, afterwards Bitcoin amount triumphantly alternate aloft the cerebral $10K level. Since the end of the Crypto Winter, Bitcoin’s hashrate has connected to smash antecedent records as added and added accretion ability is committed to the network.

The abutting halving action is appointed to action in about bisected a year, in April/May 2024. On the occasion, mining rewards will bead from the accepted 12.5 BC per block to 6.75 BTC per block. As the halving continues, experts accept predicted that Bitcoin’s absolute accumulation of 21 actor BTC will be mined by the year 2140. By that time, mining rewards will accept alone to aloof a distinct satoshi (0.00000001 BTC) per block.

When designing the Bitcoin protocol, Satoshi Nakamoto programmed block rewards to abatement over time as appeal for the asset rose. This programmable absence is what makes Bitcoin different from authorization currencies and adored commodities.
Once the year 2140 passes, miners will accept assets from BTC transaction fees alone.

It’s additionally acceptable that in the abutting 120 years there will accept been cogent improvements in cleaner energy, not to acknowledgment added adult mining machines, which should accomplish mining abundant added financially applicable than it is today.
How Much Could 1 Satoshi Be Worth in 2140?
The mining industry is abounding with all kinds of speculations. Abounding accept been apprehensive whether mining will abide as accepted with bargain rewards in the future, and abounding accept advised how admired BTC ability become in the abutting 120 years.
Some bazaar commentators accept that Bitcoin amount could be account as abundant as $4,205,714 per coin , and some accept a distinct satoshi could be as abundant as $1,000.
Another ponderation is whether or not China will abide the crypto mining assertive that it is today, or whether addition country will booty its place. At one point, China was abutting to banning the mining process, alone to accept the actual abstraction removed from its account of industries and activities that should be banned, alone a anniversary or two ago. Now, we’re seeing Bitmain and a cardinal of added mining firms set up boutique in Texas to booty advantage of its abiding renewable activity opportunities.
However, with so abundant change to be accepted over the abutting century, it’s absurd to absolutely say how the crypto mural will look.
