There is actually no need for other coins. That is why we have mBtc and satoshis.

We can now use it like millions of coins which is seen with altcoins. Imagine if 1 satoshi gains a larger value, then how can you even spend a bitcoin in just a day?

This vould happen only if we all make it as valuable as it should be. You see, this alts could divide the investment which should have been for bitcoin for more demands to come in.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Yes it's true but based on this there are some limitations but when we mine for coins new coins came in the market also in case of ether they are doing great I think because they are taking lots of good initiatives based on this.

The request will be high at that point and cost will go up, when there is request there is always ready to purchase at high cost. no compelling reason to purchase an entire bicoin purchaser can simply purchase a segment of it additionally called satoshi.

I do not think that bitcoin will be enough if the whole people around the world will going to buy bitcoins. There will be too much shortage on bitcoin supply and this will lead also to have an expensive market price for bitcoin. As we all know that there are billions of people around the world and bitcoin supply is only limited. So meaning to say in the near future there will be a shortage for bitcoin supply and thus will lead to create another dominant coin like having ether as one of the possibilities that it will be the next to bitcoin. As of this moment i am seeing this already closely to happen. What do you think?
Exactly so, I think bitcoin is not enough for the whole world to use, which means that bitcoin will not be the same currency of the whole world as USD. I think bitcoin is just a coin intermediate so we can trade between bitcoin and altcoin and USD, the market is constantly fluctuating so I think the bitcoin price will be further boosted.

   Yes it is possible to have a bitcoin shortage because of it's limited supply. This shortage will make bitcoin more valuable. The price of one bitcoin will very expensive if that time happen. Ofcourse there are other coins  rising but it will not surpass bitcoin in terms of value and demand. As time goes by we can see the value of bitcoin going to the moon very high.

When people hold BTC, they think of making profit from it. And for this there is always an equilibrium between supply and demand of BTC so that the market goes beyond control. When more people will demand for BTC, price will go up and some of the holders will go for sale. Thus one party will demand for buying BTC and another party will release it to the market at higher price. So, chances of shortage of BTC is very low.

It might happen. It's no secret that Bitcoin is only 21 million. While there are dozens maybe even hundreds of millions of people who join here. It can increase the value of Bitcoin. The less Bitcoin the more it will be in search. And more and more in the search it will be more expensive. Then the law of the market will apply. With the limited supply of Bitcoin inversely proportional to the amount of demand for Bitcoin, than the price of Bitcoin will soar.

the more bitcoin enthusiasts and the limited supply of bitcoin can certainly increase the bitcoin price to be higher.
before that happens we should at least have bitcoin.

Not really, if there is a lot of demand for bitcoin then the price will rise.  The more demand, the more the price will increase.  Demand and supply.

Since Bitcoin is finite in number, now is a great time to invest in it. The price is low and will only raise in value. Then, when you next ask the question of whether Bitcoin will have a shortage, you'll realize that there are only a limited number of the coin worldwide, which allows it to keep its rarity. Limited supply is completely necessary for the growth of Bitcoin.

Even though the last mined coin is a while from now, it doesn't hurt to think about it now especially if we're moving towards a tech-centered future. It's not far off to see some kind of crypto currency being used as our lives revolve around our electronics more. Investing now could mean making a lot of money.

This area is up for grabs! PM me if you're interested.

Each bitcoin (1 BTC) can have a fractional part of up to 8 digits so 1 bitcoin can be divided into 100 000 000 units. Each of these bitcoin units (0.00000001 BTC) is called a satoshi. So do your own math to see how many Satoshi will be available, if 21 000 000 bitcoins will be mined. <Yes, some are lost already and some are not mined yet, but it is still more than enough>

We have not even subdivided a Satoshi yet.  Grin

There will not be any chance  for the shortage in bitcoin.It is the new system of economy with the strong net work systems.Bitcoin is designed to the total figure of 21 million.Now it has mined between 17 to 18 million bitcoins only till now.If the 21 million bitcoin is mined there will not be further mining and when ever the bitcoin demand increases if there is no supply of bitcoin naturally its price can be increased .

Bitcoin it is only a component in this market, if there is no bitcoin then there will be other potential co-dominates, bitcoin is created constant there is no other way to add the supply except the fork that will create out a bitcoin version.

After several years many people are owned by BITCOIN and of course many different reason why some of them are not able to use or to transact because of many different circumstances such as Bitcoin holder Die or maybe many account lost because of mishandling and I think it is possible bitcoin shortage after several years because of these circumstances and also followed by  unknown holder.

Day by day the demand of Bitcoin is increasing and after reaching the production target of 21 million, there will be no more production and as a result the price will go higher as the demand goes up. It is not necessary to have a whole bitcoin and people can by worth of $1 btc too. So, I hardly think there will be any shortage.

I do not think so, also it is not a necessity. After, all coins are mined, it will become a privilege to own some.

I have heard that there are alot of inactive coins around the world. the biggest supply belongs to Satoshi Nakamoto. the supply is around one million Bitcoins, as i heard being  "saved" for a time when the main supply is facing increased levels of demand.

Yeah that is the reason you dont need to be worried at all. Just hold your btc and wait for the right time. Years will pass, day by day there will be more and more people will join bitcoin. More people will use btc as currency.

Simple exonimics if the buyer wanted to purchase more the market would probably crrate products with a high selling price in able to sustain the needs of the buyes. Just like in bitcoin, it will not probably experience shortage but the proce will rise, and that is what is everyone wanted to get. High value bitcoin. It will be a cycle, people will buy, then some will sell, then buy and sell. Because people needs something to sustain needs so with bitcoin as a form of meduim they will probably sell.
yes ... true ... with bitcoin medium would be the highest price possible ...... but for the lower needs [lower value] then one should convert it into a lower-priced coin as ETH and on ultimately all complement each other in the role of transaction cycle and there will be no shortage of supply
