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

[bitzizzix]

Everyone can only speculate or base their information on available news, but no one knows for sure what the crypto world or Bitcoin will look like in 100 years. And we certainly won't live that long, so why worry too much about Bitcoin's future when all we have to do is make the most of it while we're still alive?

And we all know Bitcoin will be fully mined around 2140, and we still have a long time to profit from Bitcoin in the long term. And I think everything related to Bitcoin will still exist, perhaps with some differences. Miners will still exist and operate, and miners will only receive transaction fees paid by people transacting or moving their Bitcoin from one address to another.

Yea that's absolutely truth, it's good that one vision about the future but 100 years from now is much a quite a numbers of years to get the required result on how the mining will look like , because definitely there must be other modality that creep in when many nation will fully adoption Bitcoin which you and me today may not forseen because life and human activities are full of changes that may even seem to be unforseen but be it ass it may mining will not live dinner imbalance at the end their must be a way out anything now about it is mere speculation on how it will end.

2140 is still a long way off Unfortunately, most of us will not live to see that time. Theoretically, after 2140, miners will no longer receive income from mining new blocks. They will only have income from fees. As we can see now, these fees can be relatively small. Especially if there are few transactions in the network...

In practice, most likely, in 2140, Bitcoin will already be the main part of the gold and foreign exchange reserves of Central Banks (of all countries). The main owners of Bitcoin will be governments. Most likely, they will also be engaged in Bitcoin mining. However, their motivation for this type of activity will be completely different than it is now. Now miners mine Bitcoin for profit, in the future, government miners will mine the first cryptocurrency in order to ensure network security, which will be of strategic importance...

Or perhaps everything will be different, and private miners will have some other income that will support their interest in mining.  It is quite possible that Bitcoin will grow into something bigger than it is now.

But will BTC trading be possible in the future, similar to daily trading?

We cannot predict the future situation. But if Bitcoin becomes a very valuable asset in the future, it is likely that not many will trade Bitcoin. Those who have it will tend to keep Bitcoin as an asset and hedge.
But the situation will be different if, in the future, even though the amount of Bitcoin has all been mined. But the eventual use of Bitcoin as a legal payment alternative in all countries will continue to allow normal trading to take place, perhaps even increase.

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...

In fact, none of us can say exactly what will happen in the future. But we can speculate and do research. -



It seems to me that once the supply is fully mined, all the responsibilities of the miners are over, but then they have to continue to work for the security of BTC. In that case, they can earn the reward they used to get for mining from transaction fees and this can increase the transaction fee. However, it will be their responsibility to control the fees with some new technology. If everything goes well, then in the future, there may be some stability in the rise and fall of the price of BTC during daily trading.

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%).

Unlike fiat currency Bitcoin has limited supply that is rolling out in controlled manner. With time more and more people and organizations are getting familiar with Bitcoin and they are buying Bitcoins to book their future profit, that's where bitcoin "Demand and supply" plays a key role in increasing its price. It's also a fact that bitcoin has total supply of 21 million coins and a good amount of bitcoins are already lost because of different reasons and its assumed that they won't be ever recover.

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?

Your thoughts on this literary amazed me. Well basically the time frame is so much ahead that didn't even crossed this on my mind. Well for your question, miner's won't stop. Cause if they do so who will confirm the block. Rn miner's are getting paid by both mining the bitcoin and by taking the subsidy fees for every txn. So yes there's a chance that fee's might rise higher.

Some folks are saying that let alone txn fee won't be enough for miner's. Well we won't never know what will happened after another decade. Our technology is improving speed of light. I belive we will be advance enough in mining tech that it will be cost effeciency.

[₿itcoin]

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.

Probably around 1.1 million BTC is yet to be mined which will probably be done by the middle of the next century. And after those are mined, will the minors disappear? No they won't. They will probably live off that transaction fees alone. There is an expectation of the fees getting higher because they will have to take better security measures. but everyday users likely pay low costs via layer‑2 tech like Lightning. Trading will not end as well. Also, volatility will remain as built-in feature, traded on markets, and used as a store of value. What about daily buying and selling? That will probably happen but far in the future. So yes, you can keep stacking sats, also enjoy trading, the miners are still going to be around even when subsidies end.

[henry_of_skalitz]

^ We need to believe in it based on facts presented: currently, there are no ways of BTC becoming obsolete by either big parties or small retailers alike, so why it would happen in the years and decades to come?

Adoption, as now of now, still marches forward.

[Wogenar]

Yes there will still be bitcoin miners when all 21m bitcoin are finished being mined. The idea is the main reward structure for bitcoin miners will move to transaction fees instead of bitcoin block rewards as we get closer to 21m bitcoin and the last block mined. If the price of btc rises enough and network activity on bitcoin increases miners could potentially make more in mining fees than they ever have before even after the last block reward has been mined. If you think Bitcoin will flip gold and a lot of financial and web transactions will move to Bitcoin it's definitely a possibility miners will be making huge amounts of btc just from transaction fees in blocks in the year 2140.

I think it will be enough, but this question would not stop being asked simply because of its scale and importance, yet we won't be able to see how it turns out..

So 2140 is more than a lifetime away so nobody can answer any questions today
about then.

We can only speculate and hope maybe that Bitcoin from then on will still be
bought and sold so miners will still be needed.

Hopefully Bitcoin would be still decentralised and so would be bought, sold and traded
24/7/365 which would more than likely still contribute to market volatility.

[Zigabel]

Maybe OP should have slowed down with anticipation on what the future hold for us as it has to do with Bitcoin because the crypto space is still an evolving one and between now and 2140 is a very long time enough for a whole lot to happen both with advancement and revolutionary changes in the space. Whatever we may say now about the future of Bitcoin are mostly speculative because no one has an exact ideas on with it would be else they will just go and hijack the whole system.

Even after all the Bitcoin has been minned, provided it is still traded, it will still be possible to DCA Bitcoin and accumulate as much as you want over the period of time you can. Not everyone at that time will want to just hold on to their Bitcoin,  because making money from it will entail that you sell off or a fragment of it after the value has appreciated before it becomes money you can have in your account to be spent on things you wish to spend it on and at this point you will sell to someone who wants to buy and if you don't have as much quantity the person will keep gathering around till they get the much they want using DCA while buying from all of you.

[Callido]

I also reasoned how 18-19 Million BTC has been mined under a span of 15 years and what is left is just 1.1 Million BTC out of 21 Million, until i find my answers. In the future after 100+ years from today we will have miners operating, there will be few of them but since they depend on transaction fees to sustain, will make the cost of spending Bitcoin high and difficult especially when trying to spend a small amount that we can today.

We won't be alive till 2140, our speculations today will be useless because we won't be a part of it and those who will inherit this part can change or modify how they want it to be.

But that's how humans think, like what will happen tomorrow, whether you'll still be alive or not is a mystery, but we still believe we will survive, and then plan what we will do before tomorrow comes. We may not be able to comment on 2140 because that's no longer your and my world, but your mind can imagine what might happen if Bitcoin served as an incentive for miners to earn profits beyond confirming transactions.

If not 2140, imagine if tomorrow there are no more Bitcoins to mine because they've run out. The context would be the same, and then enter those questions.

BTC being mined constantly isn’t a factor that guarantees for it’s price increase, in fact, it’s supposed to bring about price reduction due to the availability of Bitcoins in the market, that’s in the event of miners having to sell their rewards, providing liquidity.

Bitcoin’s valuation comes from scarcity, scarcity that is only prompted by demand and supply. When it’s scares people tend to pay more for what’s available, it’s the law and the limited Bitcoin supply with a growing Bitcoin adoption in a populated world ensures it.

[Catenaccio]

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.

It is too weird and unlogical if he actually thought like that but I think he meant something like: there will be very little bitcoins in future (new) supply in total supply of Bitcoin, and demand will be bigger with time. This leads to higher buying demand and price will move up, then Bitcoin price will be more expensive than now and in the past, according to supply and demand principle.

Hopefully it is his thought.

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.

Trading bitcoin is one of ways to increase your bitcoin amount but at the same time there is risk to lose your bitcoin especially if you trade with margin and futures. In the market, most traders lose money, lose bitcoin in trading, not get more and thinking like trading will help a trader to enrich his bitcoin portfolio is quite dangerous.

Only intelligent and experienced investors can take advantage of bad traders in the market in order to accumulate more bitcoin.

I like the way you try to  throw more light by separating the idea of individuals accumulating bitcoin from the mining subsidy. That seems to be the part were many people misunderstand everything and tend to tie those two together. As if bitcoin cannot be sold or bought unless it is mined. Anyone expecting bitcoin adoption to slow down or get stopped is delusional, as they do not know how liquid the bitcoin network is and  how much the value will be in the future.

So, what Op is more concerned is if people can still buy bitcoin without a subsidy, right! and also how humans behaviors can evolve due to a shift from an era of insurance to a system driven purely by fees. And you are totally right there, everything falls down to incentives, for buyers, sellers and miners too, in fact to everyone using the network to make transactions or validate one. The moment new coins dries out in the supply chain, miners will be left with fees only.

So yeah, the average man buying bitcoin won’t care if their sats came from a 2025 coinbase or a 2011 cold wallet. But the bigger question, which OP seems to be against (even if awkwardly), is whether the overall ecosystem’s game theory holds up under no-subsidy conditions. This includes the incentive for new entrants, the robustness of the fee market, and whether in the future accumulation might end up priced out by excessive competition for blockspace.

The answers you are going to get are going to be opinion and believes and not really what miners has in mind. One thing I know is that nobody can actually predict what is going to happen in the nearest future but miners are not going to abandoned Bitcoin because the majority of miners with the largest pool hold more Bitcoin than the rest of individuals except for large companies that are spending billions buying Bitcoin every day but miners are getting their own from their effort of Bitcoin support.

No matter how expensive Bitcoin becomes, the transaction fees might not be really that enough to compensate miners like the blobk rewards they get on an average, in fact the fees are even getting smaller now even as Bitcoin is pumping all this while. Transaction fee are as low as 1 sats/vbytes and highest is 10 sats/vbytes for days when there is spike, if you compound this together in a block, the fees combined wouldn't yield anything but I still believe that miners are going to be here until the last days of life with Bitcoin.

[Drnice]

At that period of time, the use of Bitcoin would/could be mainly on trading, holding as a store of value, and there will be lots of implementation of different services that will take the use of Bitcoin on daily basis. 2140 is a very far time from now, and as such, the possibility of creating a way for the physical use of Bitcoin could be brought to reality. As far as it could be, so are the unimaginable possibilities under shadowed.

All answers that are provided are different opinions and views of people. The future has the right answers to all questions directing to it.
