Hi i have a question, i hope someone could answer it
As of now, the circulating supply of Bitcoin is 16.6M
I was wondering what would happen if it reaches 21M?

Will bitcoin still work even without mining?
Or will bitcoin fall apart?
I think when all of Bitcoin are in curculation it is possible that transaction fees will rise because of increase in the demand for transactions.
Without mining Bitcoin transactions won't work but mining all the Bitcoin supply doesn't mean bitcoin miners will stop mining, miners still can make profit from transaction fees but the issue is, is transaction fees enough for miners to make profit from it? But It is too early to think about it, some experts said that all Bitcoins will be mined in 2140.
