Just realized Bitcoin's total supply is already past 20 million. We're at 20,014,021 circulating right now, which is pretty wild when you think about it. That means only about 985,000 BTC left to mine, and according to the math, it'll take another 114 years to get through that final chunk due to the halving schedule and difficulty adjustments.

It's kind of mind-blowing that Bitcoin's total bitcoin supply cap is basically locked in at 21 million and we're already 95% of the way there. The halving events keep slowing down the issuance rate, so those last coins are gonna trickle out super slowly. Makes you understand why people talk about scarcity so much – we're genuinely in the endgame of the mining cycle.

The whole supply dynamic is what makes Bitcoin different from traditional money that can just be printed. Once we hit that 21 million ceiling, that's it. No more new coins. Pretty interesting to see how this plays out over the next century.
