Just a noob question. We knew that 21 million is the maximum supply of Bitcoin and I've seen that there's 20,999,999.97 on your website's supply. Is there an explanation technically why it's not whole 21 million?
Because there are not 21 million bitcoins, but we say that there are approximately ~21 million bitcoins, the real number is 20,999,999.97, and there is always a less than 21M because of the number of lost bitcoins.
why 20,999,999.97 because every 210,000 blocks, block reward is divided by 2, starting from 50 BTC to 25 > 12,5 >6,25 >3,125,....
Alright thanks, I get it. I thought that I've missed something since we always tend to say that there's 21M but in reality, it's just an approximation. Although it's not really that much of what lacking to complete the entire 21 million.
Going back to the website, how many seconds does it take to load the website from you guys?
