want to know btc in the future.....

[Kaliandra]

I've heard that Bitcoin will finish mining in 2140, which is certainly a long way off. There's still a chance for us to continue dca BTC, as there's a strong possibility that in the future we'll see a higher BTC price than today, as BTC is constantly being mined, and we'll eventually see the BTC supply dwindle. Currently, I know there's only a small amount of unmined BTC left, approximately 1,100,000. While the number currently mined is 19,900,000, there's still time to accumulate BTC.

However, I'd like to know if there will be BTC miners once the supply is fully mined, and will the fees for sending from wallets to exchanges be high? I also wonder if the price fluctuations will be similar to the current bearish and bullish market. Currently, BTC is widely traded, buying at a low price and selling at a high price. But will BTC trading be possible in the future, similar to daily trading? I think this is worth discussing...

If we talk about Bitcoin's future, it is all speculation based on individual opinions or analysis. For me, Bitcoin trading in the future is still possible, because as long as Bitcoin is still running and miners are still around, so we can still imagine that traders still possible do trading Bitcoin in the future. Another reason, miners will continue to exist is because even if Bitcoin is completely mined, it is still possible for miners to profit from validating network transactions, cmiiw. Therefore, we can take advantage of the current momentum to accumulate Bitcoin, as you mentioned, because I believe we are still in the early stages.

[Solosanz]

I don't think 1,100,000 is small, I've work for many years and I'm not even able to reach 0.001% from that numbers.

And, even Bitcoin has been mined all, it doesn't mean you can't DCA anymore except all holders choose to hold their coins. If you check the order books in centralized exchanges, there are so many people are trade their coins.

Anyway, this topic has been discussed so many times:
1. what will happen after 21 million bitcoins are mined? (in layman's terms)
2. Bitcoin after the year of 2140
3. After 2140 how will transactions be handled?
4. After 2140 - Last Bitcoin mined.
5. All Bitcoins are mined in 2140?
6. What happend 2140 all BTC are mined
7. after 2140

There will always be miners because after the whole bitcoin has been mined, miners will still continue to depend on the incentives received from transaction fees and they also participate in the confirmation of a transaction.

and will the fees for sending from wallets to exchanges be high?

When we get there, we will know, but normally, transaction fee is always determined by the congestion in mempool, if the mempool is much congested, the transaction fee will be high, if less busy, the same applies to the fee been cheaper.

I also wonder if the price fluctuations will be similar to the current bearish and bullish market.

The market will remain being volatile as always, there's nothing going to changed, it will all depend on the market demand and supply.

Thanks for this article. Basically, what will just happen is no more miner rewards,
but I'm curious about
"nodes can still earn profits by collecting transaction fees",

are these nodes are differentf from miners too?
I'm curious what will happen to miners in 2140.

Once Bitcoin mining is finished and all coins have been mined, miners will continue to operate by earning transaction fees. On-chain fees will likely become significantly higher, and the base layer will primarily serve for settlement purposes only.

Everyday Bitcoin transactions will take place on the Lightning Network and other second-layer solutions that will continue to evolve in the future. You won’t need to send your Bitcoin to exchanges or sell it  instead, you'll be able to use it directly to exchange for goods and services you need, as more and more people and businesses eventually begin to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment.

I would be glad if that would the case, but I do think that BTC would be used for bigger purchases and services, mostly, though - time will tell.

That's a weird way of putting it! As if you are suggesting that without a block subsidy, people won't be able to accumulate bitcoin! Which may be the reason for your follow up question.

Trading bitcoin (and people accumulating it) takes place on the market and is unrelated to mining and its reward. People buy and sell bitcoin from and to each other on the market. Any coin you buy from an exchange today is many "hops" from a coinbase reward. Which means in the future without a block reward, the market should not change at all. People will still continue trading with each other with the coins they have.

The only thing that changes is when "supply" of fresh coins entering the market/circulation decreases while "demand" goes up, the price should go higher. Which is one of the reasons why we usually have a big bull market each 4 years starting after the halving (supply cut by 50%).

It's a question that will be asked as many times as there is a new ATH to BTC and it reaching new heights

If all the bitcoins are mined in the year 2140, it means that more than 90% of bitcoin will be in the market circulating, while the other percentage might be lost which I cannot really tell. However, the quantity in circulation is enough to keep the daily market moving through trading. The difference is that transaction fees will be high and bitcoin price will be expensive.

That's a very long time in which, all of us here in the forum would have gone to meet our ancestors. Your only concern currently, should be for you to continue buying more bitcoin so that in future, you will be happy that you made proper use of this opportunity.

[stadus]

Miners will still stick around. You might be thinking they won’t earn as much as they do now, but that’s not really the case. They’ll still be making money because if Bitcoin keeps growing, adoption grows with it. Even if fees stay low, the sheer volume of transactions can make up for it. That’s why mining can still stay profitable in the long run.

Okay I am not going to be concerned about how many bitcoins and been mined and unmined. We just need to understand that the factor of Dcaing on accumulating strategy won't get to restrictions because even while all the 21 millions has been mined, treaders and short term investors can still be supplying for those who want to buy and then there is going to be highily inflation on the purchase of bitcoin.

After the total 21 millions of bitcoin is mined, there will be no space for mining and will not longer be earning on the mining tasks rather, they will still facilitate on integrating the complexities of the blockchain with also the efforts to validate transactions as usual and make assured the security system is solid enough for reliability.
Then they will be earning rewards from the above services with the high fee of transactions.

However, the quantity in circulation is enough to keep the daily market moving through trading. The difference is that transaction fees will be high and bitcoin price will be expensive.

the daily market itself is one factor that stands to keep bitcoin moving for as long as possible. everyday both at the present and in the future, people continue to buy bitcoin and also sell bitcoin. that alone apart from the angle of mining of bitcoin stands to keep bitcoin moving regardless of how soon the total amount of bitcoin in circulation will be completely mined. the future of bitcoin is not going to rely only on the effect that miners have on bitcoin, the rate of adoption of bitcoin as well as how bitcoin is able to go mainstream with time is going to be the real determining factor that will determine what the future of bitcoin will be like.

You made me surprised that after three years in the forum, and perhaps longer time in Bitcoin community, you wondered and asked these questions. I think newbies must be curious about these questions ealier than three years.

Bitcoin blockchain is Proof of Work and working here is mining, so if you believe like Bitcoin mining will finish in 2140, that means Bitcoin blockchain will die in 2140. No mining, no Proof of Work, no new blocks, no transaction confirmations, it's complete death.

Surely it is not future of Bitcoin, at least the future I believe in because miners can have mining income from both block subsidy and transaction fee. They only can get transaction fees by finding new Bitcoin blocks and confirm new transactions.

Even if that's the case - we won't be able to see it ourselves, though wondering about the future is our nature, we love to speculate and think into the possibilities, after all

With how the world is turning towards BTC - I would agree on that.

The more time passes, the more faces turn to it, but only to hodl as of now - I hope it will be changed to using it for real at some point, for services and such.

I don't know exactly what will happen, if Bitcoin in 2140 runs out at the mine, but the question is common and easy to get.
For example things that will happen:

Of course it is difficult to know what will happen in 2140 (almost a hundred years from now). If Bitcoin continues to last up to 2140 there are two possibilities that can occur against the function of Bitcoin itself. The first Bitcoin can be a world payment tool where transactions will continue, in this case the Bitcoin mining industry will continue to be in demand and miners will get income from Bitcoin transaction fees.

Yes, from the conclusion of the quote above, I think the transaction fee for Bitcoin will be higher, the reason all miners will run to payment of transactions, of course that is my guess, but I can be wrong or right, which is essentially a general estimate.

[hyudien]

Talking about the future of Bitcoin for the next 100+ years!! hmm quite interesting, but will we still live in that era? hehehe Okay, my speculation about all your questions is that Bitcoin will likely remain like this, which means even if bitcoin mining is completely finished, buying and selling in the market will continue and the biggest achievement may be that Bitcoin will be accepted by all countries and legalize Bitcoin as a means of daily payment like fiat money not only as a strategic reserve but of course depending on transaction costs and maybe in that era transaction costs will be much lower.

Why are you worried about it when everyone here will not even be around that time? We are all un-alive that time, but in any case, if we are going to see that kind of scenario, we might not have to wait till 2140. It could be that in the last couple of halvings, all Bitcoin "might have been mined", or at least 99% of it. So with that, we could either see the demand going it, with that, fees could right and miners might still be there. And there could still be trading, i.e. buying and selling, but possibly with less volatility as BTC matures. So everything depends on how many factors, maybe by that time, Bitcoin could be fully adopted, or maybe it could be similar to Gold, and become a true store of value, so trading might be slow just like what we are seeing in Gold today.

[TheUltraElite]

What happens in the future, no one knows. But one thing is for certain, BTC is going to go up in terms of fiat currency.

Because the same question has been asked every few years, during halving and during bitcoin network clogging. At any point of time in the past, consider yourself the owner of a certain amount of bitcoin, and then advance a few years and see how much you own in fiat for that BTC.

The answer is easy, you keep getting rich in terms of fiat.

Mining will only be for the fees if the people see that end of BTC supply. Most of us here will not be there when that happens. Better to teach your next of kin early.
