Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin has a fixed supply.
Only 21 million BTC will ever exist.
This scarcity is key to Bitcoin’s value and decentralization.
Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, capped the supply.
The limit prevents inflation, unlike fiat currencies.
The fixed supply mimics gold’s scarcity, making Bitcoin a digital asset.
New Bitcoin is mined as a reward for verifying transactions.
Every four years, the reward is cut in half through a halving event.
This slows down Bitcoin issuance, ensuring long-term scarcity.
The last Bitcoin is expected to be mined around 2140.
Miners will rely on transaction fees instead of new Bitcoin rewards.
Lost Bitcoin over time may reduce the circulating supply even further.
Limited supply combined with rising demand may impact price growth.
Some refer to Bitcoin as "digital gold" due to its deflationary nature.
