What would happen if a block chain became more expensive to store than the worth of the bitcoin?

The world would probably end, why would it end because each computer explodes with the force of 100 nukes.

 

 

I don't actually know because I've never really cared to much about bitcoin, so I don't really read anything about it.

It won't. Bitcoins are finite, and a data string isn't that big.

The projects never end in my line of work.

As said above there are only finite amount of Bitcoins. What will happen however is it will get so hard to mine the last few Bitcoins that it wont be worth it.

Let's extrapolate from the actual situations :

"What if bitcoin was costing more to produce than its worth" :P

The answer is simple : people would still produce it, coz bitcoin would be a market for people that wants a share of their wallet hidden for specific activities, coz some would be lured in fast profits till a bubble explodes, and coz some other would be coming at it after being advertised (second handedly) a lot by the people that build the machines or infrastructure sporting bitcoins.

It's arguably not worth it now.

If it ever gets to that point it will just mean that bitcoins have completely crashed and where useless anyway.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
