What Happens When There Are No More Bitcoins Left to Mine in 2140?
M. Ellis asks "What do you think will happen to Bitcoin's stability when there are no coins left to mine, and all the miners have no reason to keep spending money on electricity to confirm transactions? What is the incentive to keep track of the transactions and how will Bitcoin survive?"

There are always solution prepared for every situation, we are lucky this time that we know the date when we have to find alternative. Its long way and its only mining that is going to stop. Till then it will start providing many awesome services.

I'll rise from the dead, wipe away the mounds of dust and use my ghastly appearance to scare the bitcoin out of people!  I'll wear a shirt that says "for only 1 satoshi, I promise not to stalk you like the zombies in MJ's Thriller".

Of course, by that time 1 satoshi will be enough money to buy a decent house and a brand new set of furniture and appliances to fill it up with.

Guess I'll be a really wealthy zombie!

At that time miners would have to look for another name for the miners fee they charge to confirm transactions on the network, off they would have to upgrade the net work to be able to auto confirm transactions free of charge.

Actualy, miners are already earning money from transactions fees. Today, miners earn more from receiving newly created bitcoin than from transactions fees, but this will change.

As the number of Bitcoin transactions increases, the reward from transaction fees will also increase. And every time a "halvening" occurs (some call it "halving"), the rewards from newly created bitcoin decreases. For those who don't know, a halvening means that the number of newly created bitcoin with each block will be halfed. Halvenings occur every four years.

So one day the rewards from transactions fees will be bigger than rewards from new bitcoin. And this day is much closer than 2140. By 2140 transaction fees will be more than enough for miners to be happy.

Yea that makes sense but it's more likely blockchain will move to Proof of stake instead of Proof of Work in the next few years.

I would hope by 2140 renewable energy would be exponentially cheaper than it is now. It would definitely be a bit of prisoner's dilemma for people to keep it going, but everyone who holds BTC would have an interest in maintaining its value by processing the transactions. I'm not sure how much I believe Bitcoin will still be around in that long. It's certainly possible, but even global companies with deep rooted brand value do not often last that long, and crypto is an intensely competitive market right now.

I believe in life extension and that we will see people living longer.  However, in 2140 I would be 170....I think they will add a couple decades but not that many.

Hence I am not real concerned about what they are doing in 2140.
