It's not really a big limitation since the coin can be split into smaller units, but we can't know for sure what the future holds for this currency.
It will be a long time before the limit of coins is reached; by then many thing will probably have changed
Topic: Will the final number of bitcoins become a serious limitation? - page 3. (Read 1406 times)
the final/maximum number of bitcoin which is currently at 21 million with 8 decimal places is not a limitation for now and possibly won't be for many years.
and the chance of that happening (mostly because it has 8 decimal places) is very small. but it exists. for example if a very large number of bitcoins are lost after many years in total. and it won't be a serious problem because there are ways of fixing the issue if it becomes real. for example to break 1 satoshi into smaller units.
but that is not going to happen for many years.

Even when all the coins will be mined many years distance from now it will not be a serious limitation. People will continue to trade and exchange this number of bitcoins and transaction will go on normally. I don't believe that all people then will hold bitcoins and not do transactions. At that far away time it is supposed that bitcoin to have become mainstream currency.
