The final bitcoin is projected to be mined in 2140. Transactions can only be processed through the mining of new bitcoin. Therefore when the final coin is mined the transactions will cease and everyone will be left holding a valueless mathematical hash.
Transactions can only be processed through the mining of new bitcoin.
You misunderstand. Transactions are processed by the miners. This happens as long as miners exist on the network. The "network" reward for mining blocks is projected to end around 2140, when 21,000,000 Bitcoin have been mined. These are decoupled processes, though. The network rewards happen after the block is mined. Mining/transaction fees will also still apply after network rewards go away, so the incentive to mine will always exist.
everyone will be left holding a valueless mathematical hash.
Another misunderstanding I'd like to correct. We hold the keys to access the value stored on the blockchain. Ultimately the value is all stored on the blockchain. You can lose your keys (access to the value) but the value is always there.
Bitcoin should be lower, it's a bear market. This time period last cycle we were at the cycle lows of $3k, which was the previous cycle's high. Bitcoin being normal we would be closer to $17k. It's higher than it should be because of all the uncertainty in traditional options. Normal investing advice isn't working when bond prices are inverted.
Now do Bitcoin
Bitcoin expires in 2140. There is no longterm generational wealth in ElectroFunds.
But for fun...
Bitcoin 2021: $65,000
Bitcoin today: $30,000
Yep. The sharks are eating the minnows.
That’s one of the reasons Monero is far superior
Expires? What exactly do you mean?
Nice cherry-picking, see you next year when it gets over $300K.
By the way, Bitcoin was $4-16K in 2018. Better than gold no matter where you measure from.
It's not hard to see what's happening unless you are willfully ignorant.

It's pretty neat.

I'm just holding Bitcoin. There is no second best IMO.
It's digital gold. And it's the only one that will be classified as a commodity by governments who don't want to be left in the dark ages.
We're either blowing ourselves up, or being saved by Bitcoin.
