When we get to 21 000 000 bitcoins, how will miners be rewarded and will anyone keep mining only for the fee rewards, how slow will our transactions be?

Less miners also shouldn't slow down the network as the block reward is still ~10minutes. Network difficulty should change with the amount of miners and will finally go to a certain equilibrium where it is still profitable for the miners.

THE MOON RACE STARTS!
Serious: A lot less people will mine but I think that if the price goes to "the moon' many will stay.

but if we hit the 21m cap then no new blocks will be made? if we keep discovering new blocks there will be more then 21m bitcoins o.O

They will still make money from transaction fees.

Transaction fees will increase in order to compensate them for the work.

One of the draw backs we won't be seeing 21 million Bitcoin in our live times though.

The value of bitcoin will probably be higher and miners get the transaction fees. Once all coins are mined they can/will get lost and that raises the value of all other coins.

I'm not an expert in mining, but will ridiculously fast rigs still be needed just to process transactions? Couldn't it open it up to more smaller miners just mining for transaction fees?
