So I was reading an article about the future of Bitcoin, trying to understand what will happen when the last bitcoin has been mined (from a technical perspective).

So if we do the math, the last Bitcoin should be mined sometime in the year 2140 - all of us will be dead by then.
However, what do you think will happen and what can we compare the event too?

 Huh Huh Huh Huh



If the last bitcoin is mined, the mining of Bitcoin still continues.  Remember everytime we make a transaction, we payed for a transaction fees, that will be the next reward for the miners.  They will be mining transaction fees as a reward.  It is speculated that by that time, bitcoin will be mass adopted that it is possible that a single block containing tx fees of transactions is worthy of mining.
