Under it's current structure, the supply of bitcoins will peak and then gradually decline. The peak supply will occur when the built-in max quantity is reached. The attrition will result from lost bitcoin wallets that can never be replaced. It's a funny way to run a "currency"...

there is public interest and I think the whole concept of digital cryptocurrency will fall apart as I am certain that there are plenty of criminals that are investing huge amounts of money to easily crack the codes and then plunder. IMHO it is nothing more than a highly speculative medium of exchange, where those that made money from it would be wise to cash the profits into confetti currency and then buy something meaningful that somehow will keep the investment value commensurate with inflation.
