Anyone noticed that we have breached 17,800,000 BTC already? Which means that 85% of all BTC have been mined. And in the next 10+ years we can all assumed that 'almost' all bitcoin is mined already. Have you accumulated at least 1 BTC in your wallet?
Current bitcoin mined: 17,851,062 BTC
The last Bitcoin is predicted to be mined in 2140. It sounds crazy but it seems to be real. I wonder what will happen after the last Bitcoin is mined. For example, what will Bitcoin miners do then ?
Thinking about 2140 is like people in 1900 thinking about today, imagining all the inventions that are really just improvements on what they know instead of what they can't even comprehend like GPS and gene therapy. Think of all the unexpected inventions and change over the last 120 years and project that into the next 120. The world will be a very different place. I expect even the term 'bitcoin miner' will seem antiquated.
