I see 4 paths for the end of the Iron Age, which path that'll happen only the Norns know for certain.
1. Wars & Imperium: As Iron mines become harder to access for steel manufacturing, it is highly probable that resource wars could result, as colonization of Iron rich locales bring about new Empires or nuclear war.
2. Space Colonization: Asteroids and the planet of Mars are extremely rich in metallic Iron. However, there is a one century wide window to do this. It'll continue "the Iron age" but in space as opposed to on Earth.
3. New Metallic Age: If we move away from Steel and find a comparable replacement, the Iron Age will still end, but a new metallic Age will begin.
4. Civilizational Collapse: Procrastination is the most predictable of responses. If procrastination happens and none of the other options occur because, "we have 120ish years so chill and not my problem" civilization as we know it will fade away. This by necessity will revive the Old Pagan Faith and Ways.

That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. He floated the idea of restricting the use of Telegram in Ukraine and Russia, a suggestion that was met with fierce opposition from users. Shortly after, Durov backed off the idea. In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War."
