Will the last Bitcoin ever be fully mined?

The last Bitcoin may not be fully mined due to the halving protocol, which cuts the block reward in half every 4 years, making mining less profitable over time. Miners may work for a long period of time for just a few satoshis. The divisibility of BTC by 100M allows for the mining of small amounts to continue almost forever.
