The first 50 Bitcoin took 10 min to mine.

The last 50 Bitcoin will take 52 years.

The value of 10 min is relatively worthless, and so were the coins at the time. But the value of 52 years is far higher, and so will the value of all coins be at that point.

Bitcoin's marginal cost of production, driving the value of every coin in the network with it, continues to increase relative to BOTH time and energy. Providing a perfect store of the value of both.

The world isn't ready, but it's happening anyway. Bitcoin isn't asking permission.

It currently takes 160 min to mine 50 Bitcoin. 16x the amount of time it took from 12 years ago.

It will take 4.5 years to mine the second to last set of 50 Bitcoin. 14782.5 times the amount of time it takes today.

All models will be broken.

Are you ready?

Corrections: The last 50 Bitcoin will take 57 years (2083 - 2140), the second to last 50 Bitcoin will take 4 years (2079 - 2083).
