As a keen observer of the
cryptocurrency landscape, I'm curious to know: What happens once all bitcoins are mined? Will the mining process come to a halt, or will the network adapt somehow? Will the limited supply drive up the value of Bitcoin exponentially? What incentives will miners have to continue supporting the network once the block rewards are exhausted? Are there any plans for the development team to introduce new mechanisms to ensure the network's security and stability in the post-mining era? Understanding the implications of a fully mined Bitcoin network is crucial for investors and enthusiasts alike.
