📌 Why Is Bitcoin Limited to 21 Million?
Since Bitcoin’s launch in 2009, its creator Satoshi Nakamoto set a golden rule:
🔒 Maximum supply = 21,000,000 BTC
No more, and changing it would require an almost impossible global consensus.
💡 Why 21 Million?
Mimicking Gold’s Scarcity: Limited supply, value driven by demand.
Inflation Protection: No endless printing like fiat currencies.
Precise Issuance Plan: Mining rewards started at 50 BTC and halve every ~4 years until the last coin is mined around 2140.
📊 Halving Timeline:
🗓 2009: 50 BTC → total 10.5M
🗓 2012: 25 BTC → total 15.75M
🗓 2016: 12.5 BTC → total 18.375M
🗓 2020: 6.25 BTC → total 19.687M
🗓 2024: 3.125 BTC → total 20.343M
… until 2140: 21M BTC
⛏ After that, miners will rely solely on transaction fees to secure the network.
