Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins, a limit established by its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. This fixed maximum raises important questions regarding the cryptocurrency's future once the last coin is mined.
Once all 21 million bitcoins are mined, no new coins will be generated. This scarcity could lead to significant changes in how Bitcoin is valued and used within the market.
As the network nears this limit, the implications for miners, investors, and the overall cryptocurrency landscape will likely become more pronounced, prompting discussions about sustainability and economic models.
