  According to the Bitcoin protocol, the total number of bitcoins that will ever be mined is capped at 21 million. This limit is hardcoded into the system and cannot be changed. As of now, around 18.5 million bitcoins have been mined, leaving approximately 2.5 million yet to be mined. The rate at which new bitcoins are mined is halved approximately every four years through a process known as the halving. This ensures that the supply of bitcoins is limited and gradually decreases over time.

  Well, let me tell you a little secret. The estimated number of bitcoins that will be mined in the future is precisely 21 million. Yes, you heard it right. The Bitcoin protocol has a built-in limit of 21 million bitcoins, and once this limit is reached, no more bitcoins can be mined. So far, around 18.5 million bitcoins have been mined, and the remaining 2.5 million will be gradually mined over the next few years. It's a fascinating concept, isn't it?

  The estimated number of bitcoins that will be mined in the future is 21 million. This limit is set by the Bitcoin protocol and ensures that there will never be more than 21 million bitcoins in existence. Currently, around 18.5 million bitcoins have been mined, leaving approximately 2.5 million yet to be mined. The rate at which new bitcoins are mined is halved every four years, which means that the remaining bitcoins will be mined at a slower pace. This scarcity is one of the factors that contribute to the value of bitcoin as a digital asset.
