As the title says, what happens. As the supply goes lower, the prices/demand go up but what happens when the supply is drained? Will we ever reach a price ceiling or the prices will still go up? I do not know any other question that I can think of but if you have one, feel free to reply on this thread if you have other questions.
We already mined huge amount from the total cap value of bitcoin which means we still have enough supply so the only chance can be the demand will reduce not the supply because whenever the supply decrease the price will increase so if less supply the price of bitcoin is keep going to be increasing.

Any Idea when would the DRAINING will happen ? and Why has to drain when the supply circulates constantly ? i don't see the reason for the question.~
It's a free market. By market forces, the price should reach an equilibrium when the demand is equal to the supply. If somehow the demand overwhelmingly exceeds the supply, then the price will rise. It continues until it reaches an equilibrium. It's simple economics. More demand, same supply = higher price.It functions on simple economics.
Well with the current trend of institutional investors buying all they can as much as possible and hodling it as long as possible would be a different case right? Yes there will be people that will be selling it but there will come a time when it will only be a atomic percentage of the supply that they are filling in.

I think I covered already the part where the price increase because the demand increase.

No because the "demand" that buys bitcoin is not always going to hold on to it for eternity. At some point people always end up selling their bitcoins one way or another (eg. selling directly to fiat or buying goods where the coins end up on an exchange eventually).
Yes, I agree with the other that the supply is not going to be "drained". If OP means a reduction in offer, we are seeing it already: an increase in price. Also because there is more demand.
As for what happens next, it depends. Is more institutional investors start buying bitcoin and people keep withdrawing bitcoin from exchanges, thus reducing offer, there will be more increases in price but we don't know until what point. At point the price will be enough for people to be more interested in selling and not so interested in buying so the price will go down.

The supply is always increasing even though the rate of this increase goes down. That means every 10 minutes (on average) there are more coins to be bought. You are confusing capped supply with decreasing supply. Bitcoin's supply is capped (has a maximum that can not be surpassed) but it is not decreasing.
The main reason why price goes up is when demand increases (in other words when bitcoin adoption increases and more people start buying bitcoin).

Why do you think the supply is going to be "drained"?
There are lower available coins to be bought. Mining takes time.The main reason why price goes up is when demand increases (in other words when bitcoin adoption increases and more people start buying bitcoin).
Why do you think the supply is going to be "drained"?
There are lower available coins to be bought. Mining takes time.Supply draining won't happen at any occasion. The mined coins aren't idle within a centralised system. The network will be strong as more and more usage gets counted. Maybe the denomination gets more zeros added for a single bitcoin.
Will these be enough to resupply the current available coin to cater the demand? AFAIK each block that is mined makes mining another block a little harder.
