My question is;
- what happens after 21 million bitcoins have been mined?
- What will miners do after the total of 21 million bitcoins have been mined?
- Will the total supply be increased because some bitcoin holders have died and others have lost their private keys?
Pls your suggestion will be highly appropriate and I believe will also help other members.
- Nobody knows what will happen to Bitcoin after 100 years lol, but one thing is for sure, the exact number of Bitcoin in circulation will never be 21m.
- Miners will most probably continue mining, without them transactions cannot reach your wallet.
- No, the 21m total supply cannot be changed (that's the least we know in this current timeline) but maybe in the future when Bitcoin is nearing the maximum mined supply, someone could change Bitcoin's protocol to extend the maximum supply to continue incentivize the miners with the block rewards.
