This discussion comes from this cool article that I read today: https://cryptotradernews.com/cryptocurrency/what-happens-when-the-bitcoin-counter-reaches-zero/

We will all probably be dead when this happens, but are there any thoughts on what the future will look like once every last Bitcoin has been mined?

Does BTC just end? Will transaction fees be enough to incentivize nodes to keep working?


I'm very curious about this. Thoughts?

This is too far into the future to know what will happen. I see miners continuing to secure the network to collect transaction fees and a sky-high price to justify their efforts. There is also a possibility of a fork to modify the incentive structure.
