<p>According to this <a href="https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/how-many-bitcoins-are-there/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">site</a> there are 3,260,162.5 bitcoins left to be mined. Do you know if eventually Bitcoin mining will stop after that? If yes which other cryptocurrency can be mined for ever?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>
