Bitcoin mining

Few facts about Bitcoin mining:

1. Last Satoshis (of Bitcoin) will be mined some time in the year 2142

2. During the last ~40 years of the mining epoch (2102-2142) less than one complete BTC will be mined, combined, by ALL the miners of the world.

   By ALL.
   Combined.
   In 40 years !

3. Mining stops, when after halving in 2142 the block reward splits down from 1 Satoshi to 0.5 Satoshi. As Satoshi is the smallest fraction (i.e. 0.5 Sat not possible) this process will STOP.
