Interesting Post, but you did miss one thing, When all bitcoins are mined, the miners will rely on transaction fees to continue mining and verifying transactions. This could still be an issue, as many people are worried that Bitcoin will cost too much to send (For example if bitcoin hit $1,000,000, people are worried the fee to send those bitcoins would be like $250,000.) But there is still plenty of bitcoins to mine, and with the increasing difficulty, and technology becoming faster and more efficient, that is not necessarily in the near future. For me, I just Ride the money train while I can.
