I'm a bit confused about this. Will they receive transaction fees as a reward? What difficulty will be present if all BTC are already in circulation and nothing is there for mining?
On blockchain, the chart indicates 16 million (16,000,000) BTC is rewarded and are held by individuals.

Thanks!  Smiley

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

please use the search function, it'll result in a list looking like this one:
https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=016660200577587308545%3Aesf40ml9aag&ie=UTF-8&q=what+if+all+bitcoin+is+mined&sa=Google+search#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=what%20if%20all%20bitcoin%20is%20mined&gsc.page=1

To answer your question: yes: if the block reward goes to 0 satoshi's, the miners will keep mining for the fees. It's possible the diff will drop because miners turn off some machines, leaving more blocks and more fees for the leftover miners
