So, let’s suppose that Bitcoin would exist forever. It means that at some point there won’t be any coin left in the network…


And at some point the Sun will stop burning and maybe even explode, but for us, our children and thousand more generations it won't be a problem, it's just a trivia fact. It's much more likely that in thousands of years Bitcoin will stop existing than that all coins will be lost. And if supply will ever be a problem, it's possible to split coins further - create fractions of satoshis, so that there's enough units for every need. Lightning Network allows it even today.
