What's to stop Cryptocurrencies eventually running out of coins?

[IamAGentleman]

Over time, people lose wallets, misplace them etc, so what's to stop Bitcoin or any other Cryptocurrency from dropping to hardly any coins?

Nothing really. Liquidity of Bitcoins and other Altcoins.

Any bitcoin can be divided into 100,000,000 units called "satoshi". So even if there would be only one bitcoin left, there could be still some trading possible.

And of course you can simply create a new crypto currency, if that's the case. 

It's easy, you don't need to be a software developer for that, look here:

Most alts are based on bitcoin and can be divided into 100,000,000 units, which solves the problem. There are a few exceptions, some coins have less units, and some have more. I think most cryptonote based coins are divided into a different number of units to bitcoin.
