Ethereum, first introduced by Vitalik Buterin, is a blockchain project that hosts several DeFi tokens. Due to its programmable nature, on top of using it as decentralized digital currency, it could be used for financial services, games, and apps built on the platform.

Ether is the world’s second-largest digital currency by market value. As of February 02, 2021, 07:11GMT, Ethereum had risen by more than 5.7% at $1,400. It is one of the biggest DeFi projects with over $1.8 billion in worth.

Etheruem prices are soaring due to the strong demand for decentralized finance projects. This makes investors believe it’s a viable investment.

Why is Ethereum Going Up?

Through “smart contracts”, DeFi uses Ethereum as an operating system for loans and day-to-day transactions. Smart contracts are automated financial programs that allow investors to earn interest in crypto holdings.

Etheruem will shift mining systems from “proof of work” to “proof of stake”. This move will finance validators depending on the number of coins they own rather than the speed at which calculating blocks operate.

“Sharding”, a computer technique of breaking work to smaller parallel pieces will help increase speeds to over 5,000- fold. The process is reliable fast and is an anonymous transaction system.

Proponents speculate Ethereum would make transaction fees more predictable. This would encourage its use and reduce new supply proving positive for Ethereum.

The world of cryptocurrencies endures liabilities from advancements with grace. Now, attention may be shifting from Bitcoin to Ethereum as more investors can gain access to digital assets via Ethereum. The index shows that the node count is the third major on-chain metric where Ethereum has bypassed Bitcoin.

A new dawn has come for the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. The ripple effect since Teslas’ Elon Musk Invested $1.5 Billion of the companies assets on Bitcoin which has since then seen mega positive and a touch of legitimacy in the crypto world.

Barely a week after, Twitters’ CFO, Ned Segal is considering adding Bitcoin to its company reserves. This involves considerations of how it may pay employees, vendors and complete digital transactions using the wide sort after cryptocurrency.

“We’ve done a lot of the upfront thinking to consider how we might pay employees should they ask to be paid in Bitcoin, how to pay a vendor if they asked to be paid in BTC and whether we need to have Bitcoin on our balance sheet” Ned Segal, CFO Twitter told CNBC.

This however does not come as a shock considering how Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey is an amid advocate of Bitcoin. He has bought and sold services for the cryptocurrency at Square. A company he also owns. Although no changes have been actualized yet, this publication has reinforced the viability of Bitcoin.

In recent months, major firms such as MicroStrategy have shown particular interest in Bitcoin. They consider Bitcoin a hedge against inflation and devaluation n in the U.S dollar. Twitter would follow Teslas’ move and start accepting Bitcoin as payment.

Bitcoin has since skyrocket hitting an all-time high of $48,000 earlier this week. With Twitter declaration who knows the hights, it could soar. We might be on the edge of the birth of a new legal decentralized tender.

The knowledge needed to understand cryptocurrencies and how they will work in the future may be complicated, but it doesn’t require you to be a rocket scientist.

According to its source code, Bitcoin was created so that only 21 million Bitcoins will ever exist.

After reaching 21 million units, the creators will breathe a sigh of relief as they take time off their computers. There will be no more mining Bitcoins after this mark is reached.

So what happens after the last Bitcoin has been mined? What will the fate of Bitcoin be? To get the answers, you need to understand how Bitcoins work. Let’s jump straight into it!

How Bitcoin Works

Bitcoin supply was initially created such that it won’t exceed 21 million. The sad news is that 18.3 million Bitcoins have already been mined, leaving less than 3 million left.

Once every four years, the mined Bitcoin is reduced by half, a process known as halving. The former block production allowed miners to get 5 Bitcoins every 10 minutes, which has increased to 6.25 Bitcoins thanks to the new block production.

In 4 years, halving will occur, reducing the globally mined BTC, and the process will keep happening until the 21 million BTCs are released into the market.

So what will the fate of Bitcoin be by then?

What Will Happen to Bitcoin after Mining?

The cryptocurrency creators stated that the mining would end in the year 2140, even though currently 18.3 million Bitcoins have already been mined out of the limited 21 million.

After mining stops, there will be other ways of getting Bitcoins, like through the transactional fees. The transactional costs are determined by the bitcoin’s current price and the number of transactions taking place. The higher the price and the more the transactions, the better the transactional fees.

Miners will also be eligible for small rewards that they will be receiving from the small portions of the last Bitcoins to be mined. With Bitcoin taking root in recent times in ways that the creators are proud of, they may unveil new features.

They may include new protocols, methods of recording and processing transactions, and other factors impacting mining.

When it comes to the uses of Bitcoin, it will be a real frequency used in trading as a means of payment by people. So far, businesses allow their customers to pay them in the form of bitcoins, something that did not exist a decade ago. The trend is not going to stop, given the ever-increasing number of cryptocurrencies.

Final Word

The last Bitcoin to be mined is expected to be mined in 2140! That is over 100 years from now. With a limited supply of Bitcoins that is about to be achieved, it makes us wonder what happens to the current Bitcoin miners.

Satoshi may have to change some of the protocols to keep the currency afloat, but do you think he should change it?

Well, whether you are a miner or not, we would like to hear your take.

A cryptocurrency is a currency that take the form of tokens or coins and exist on a distributed and centralized ledger. Approaches to evaluate tokens other than Bitcoin-considered the pioneer in the Crypto world are ongoing.
