What does the future of bitcoin look like after 2140?

This is a difficult question. Since its inception, bitcoin has grown at a speed never seen before. There are a few scenarios we can look at.

The reward per solved block decreases, until this reward disappears in 2140. After this year, transaction costs (the fees collected by miners), become very important. This will become the reason why miners will add a block to the blockchain. This can lead to an increase in transaction costs.

This scenario is often outlined. But it is difficult to predict whether it will play out this way. Several new developments will soon arrive on the bitcoin network, for example it is possible that transactions outside the blockchain will be carried out via the electrical network. In this case, transaction costs are lower. Other developments can also prevent a future increase in transaction costs.$BTC
