In this table, we see that the volume of bitcoins in circulation is 19.84 million BTC and the maximum limit is 21 million, meaning it seems that the maximum limit is almost being reached, according to research I conducted. One gets this impression, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The technology offers rewards for mining. When it was created, each BTC block was made up of 50 bitcoins. The first halving was reached when 210,000 blocks were mined. The value of these rewards and consequently the amount of bitcoins per block decreases exponentially at base 2 (hence the term halving which means half). As we had 4 halvings until last year, approximately 19.7 million BTC were issued. Now, from this halving, those who mine receive 3.125 bitcoins per block. When 210,000 blocks are reached, meaning another 656,250 BTC will be issued by 2028, we will have the fifth halving and so on with the amount decreasing exponentially. Therefore, the price rises because the amount of new coins issued is smaller and the interest in accumulation is very high. So, in my understanding, those who can manipulate the market are the miners. There must be a handful of billionaires maintaining large pools, subcontracting technicians to work for them. Would these be the so-called "whales"? Anyway, the limitation of 21 million BTC does not seem to pose a problem for this market as what is desired is the appreciation of resources. But, I would like to understand the relationship of other cryptocurrencies with BTC? Are they made from mined blocks? Where can I find more explanations?
