Could you please elaborate on the timeline of when Bitcoin's block reward is expected to reach zero? Given that the block reward is halved approximately every four years as part of Bitcoin's mining reward system, is there a specific year or decade that the community anticipates this milestone will occur? Additionally, how might this affect the economics of mining and the overall stability of the Bitcoin network? Will miners still find it profitable to mine Bitcoin once the block reward reaches zero, or will other incentives, such as transaction fees, become more significant?

As the block reward diminishes, it becomes less lucrative for miners to engage in bitcoin mining.
