How much does it cost to mine 1 bitcoin? I've seen average estimates between a little over $2k to almost $5k. If that is true, what happens when the price drops below the cost of mining the bitcoin? How is the system maintained without miners?

The miners get transaction fees for processing transactions in exchange for supporting the network.

2020 summer is the “halving” where the bitcoin mining rewards are cut in half. Don’t know what will happen then.

Fixed: It’s the LiteCoin halving next August.
