or before they fix the code or they just end) and their number will decrease constantly, people will die and lose their bitcoins
Everyone starts hoarding the coins and suddenly the price will go up, to millions and millions of dollars. But hey, in all seriousness, who knows? We shall see what the price will be at. I think it'd be a positive, and as we continue to advance into the future, we shall see what the prices continue to go up for
End of the world 
We will see the end of the world before we will be able to get there. It's gonna take 120 years to completely mine Bitcoin.
What will be the state of Bitcoin after all coins are mined? Even before that what happens to miners as it gets close to the final mint? Is one 1 Satoshi, 00000001 the absolute smallest demonimation or can fractions thereof be created if needed?
That question has been answered at least 21 million times (Google says 641,000,000 results). You must have seen it answered already.

nothing would happen, bitcoin is not meant to be infinitely divisible, real gold cannot be divided infinitely too, does it matter you?
I guess it will be stagnation of bitcoin. There will be era of altcoins!
Well the last coin is supposed to be mined sometime in 2140 an I'm fairly certain that bitcoin will not be around by then. Who knows what sort of world we will be living in, in 2140. So whenever this question is asked, my go-to response is that it's useless to think about it, since no one knows what 2140 will be like.
The miners will start getting transaction fees instead, and assuming that the growth of bitcoin continues, there will be millions of transactions so it will be as profitable as it is right now.
