Ask HN: What would happen if we deposited all our btc into a null address?

Would Bitcoin eventually cease to exist (i.e. when all btc have been deposited into a null address) or would the price per 1 btc slowly increase? Can new coins be created?

Hypothetical scenario: somebody finds a vulnerability in btc much like the recent one found in eth, and decides to deposit everything into a null address.

What happens?
