Good morning
Reading about bitcoin, I've found that there is a maximum of BTC that can be mined: 21 milions
It is said that this limit is due to the source code.

As probably you know more than I do about BTC:
- is it a real limit
- is it a good thing? I think it is but it looks like BTC will become more a commodity and not just a payment system

What do you think?

In fact, there are only 21 million Bitcoins that can be mined in total. Once miners have unlocked this many Bitcoins, the planet's supply will essentially be tapped out, unless Bitcoin's protocol is changed to allow for a larger supply.
