Michael Saylor, co-founder and chairman of MicroStrategy, has once again made headlines in the cryptocurrency community with his latest bitcoin prediction.
In his recent tweet, he stated that he is confident that "99% of bitcoins will be mined" by January 2, 2035. Currently, about 19,760,384 #BTC have been mined, which is about 94.10% of the total #bitcoin reserve of 21 million BTC; according to CoinMarketCap, about 1,239,588 BTC remain to be mined.
Sailor predicts that bitcoin mining will increase dramatically over the next decade, and about 5% of the total could be mined in that time. If his prediction turns out to be accurate, it will mean that most of bitcoin will be out of circulation much sooner than previously thought. Many analysts suggest that the last bitcoins will be mined around 2140.
