Hi All, I have been thinking, what happens after the whole 21million bitcoins have been mined? How will it affect demand, supply and price?

Demand will get shocked,
supply will be prepared as always,
price will act like is none of her business.

Has anyone projected when the last coin will be snagged?

Has anyone projected when the last coin will be snagged?

2140

mining will be supported by fees of transactions and actually nobody knows how this will affect to bitcoin or its price
when don't even know how a halving affects to bitcoin

[rapta]

It's a long time from now, and who knows the code could be changed a million times in that time. 

[Soros Shorts]

If you want to concern yourself with this kind of thing you'd be better of looking into the next halving of the block reward, which will happen in the immediate future.

at last we cant know, we can especulate, but only god know.

Generation of btc is slowly decreased. So tx fee alone would already be gratefully enough for the miners.

[H.W.Z]

exactly! Probably a better cryptocurrency takes the place of the BTC.

You still get transaction fee from mining, its not much but if the price per BTC is really high then it will still work...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=427519.0 - Check out this experiment which is related, known as Premine coin. All of the coins are already in circulation, the coins were given out to anyone over 30 day period. You can see how the network behaves when a coin is nearing the end of its life in regards to the getBlockReward value. It won't be exactly like Bitcoin since it is not as valuable but you can study several of the qualities it has.

Like each currency in the world it will be replaced once or just withdrawn from circulation.

If you ask me, there will be no Bitcoin in 2140. For sure will not be most of us to see that.

[Q7]

Seriously this question has been asked a thousand times. Each individual might have a different theory on what we might see or expecting but the time period is too long to predict. I doubt any of us here joining today's discussion will ever live to find out. From the year it was established, we have seen so many changes. I'm not sure if anybody saw it could went up from few cents to 1k and that was probably like 5 years. So can't say much on what to expect in 2140 which is like 126 years from now

Welcome to Bitcoin!

Initially 50 coins were mined every 10 minutes. Now only 25 are mined per 10 minutes.

Did mining dry up? Did difficulty drop because nobody was willing to mine for such a small amount?

No, difficulty has increased, the price has gone up a lot.

Even now miners are paid more than 25 coins per 10 minutes.

What about when it is down to 12.5 bitcoin per 10 minutes? Will people still mine? 6.25? 3.125? 1.5625?

On the contrary, the price increases when the supply is cut off.

Yup, the price will skyrocket cause there is no more selling pressure..

Transactions were supposed to become more expensive, compensating for reduced mining rewards.

Possible hard fork is increasing block size by 50% a year, so that will drive transaction fees down.
