I heard that bitcoin is controlled by we users and miners,
so I wonder what would happen if all the bitcoin miners stop mining bitcoin?.

I'm curious to know what would happen to bitcoin. Undecided

haha they would lose the tons of profit they are making (while the hardware operates only) not mentioning all the money they dumped to buy the hardware. And we are taking here about facilities worth millions of dollars. So while we can toy with discussing such topics, it is like discussing the total impossibility.

Indeed the miner has more to lose than us holders vecause miners are handling all of the expenses the electricity, maintenance of equipments, rent if you have a mining rig and lastly the salaries of workers. Although the miners have a choice to mine on bitcoins or switch on to the other cryptocurrencies but due mining reward the miners wouldn't let the opportunity slip intp their hands especially the block reward.

you know the moment some miners stop mining a given currency the difficulty goes down and at the same time the profits (expressed in that currency) go up for the same effort. So they really can't stop mining bitcoin and start mining something else, because a few moments later they will be losing a lot of profit
