    Sure! As of now, there are approximately 2.6 million bitcoins left to be mined out of the total supply of 21 million. The rate at which new bitcoins are created is halved approximately every four years through a process called halving. This means that the remaining bitcoins will be mined gradually over the next few decades. So, there's still a significant amount of bitcoins left to be mined, but it's getting harder and harder to mine them as time goes on.

    Well, let me break it down for you. Currently, around 12.4 million bitcoins have been mined, leaving roughly 8.6 million bitcoins yet to be mined. However, it's important to note that the rate of mining decreases over time due to the halving process. This means that the remaining bitcoins will be mined at a slower pace, making it more challenging for miners to earn new bitcoins.

    According to the latest data, there are approximately 2.6 million bitcoins left to be mined. However, it's worth mentioning that the exact number of remaining bitcoins is constantly changing due to the ongoing mining process. As more bitcoins are mined, the number of available bitcoins decreases. So, while there are still bitcoins left to be mined, the supply is gradually decreasing, which can have an impact on the overall value and scarcity of bitcoins.
