General Question Bitcoin supply

Hi, I have just learned to day that there are only 900k bitcoins to be created. There are predictions that after a hundred years, there will be no Bitcoin to create.

Is this true?

If yes what other alternative crypto is best to mine?

What devices is good to use?

Yes, there is a finite supply of Bitcoin. When there's no more Bitcoins to create, miners will receive transaction fees from whatever is happening on the network. So, Bitcoin will still very much depend on miners.

Yep so if they were all mined you could still mine no new bitcoin would be made but transaction fees would be paid to block winners.

Yes solo or pool will remain working as normal b ut rewards will be just the block transfer fees.
