I am asking this question for my knowledge as I don't know the real fact as a newbie, We know that Bitcoin has limited supply compare to new altercoins, As the supply is not too big, Bitcoin price has become very high, My question is ,Is it impossible to increase the bitcoin supply mining new bitcoins further more ?  Thanks in advance

Yes. It is so possible. Actually, Bitcoin mining makes the supply increase. The only thing makes the miners trying to mine moreis because of the Bitcoin's price. They tend to mine many Bitcoins to gain money. They are buying high specifications laptop or computer set in able for them to mine many Bitcoins. But, Always remember that if the supply is limited, The Price is getting higher and higher. This is the advantage of miners. Start mining.

Miners increase available supply to increase _exclusively_ as long as we are below 21 million coins. As mentioned, mining rewards will reach 0 after a few years . because of the way bitcoin works, overall coin creation speed won't change regardless of power of mining.

How many years is a few years?
