Now have come with a simple question that will strike some good discussion here , and hope as time goes more related topic like this will come . So just like the title implies , we all know that the theoretical maximum bitcoin supply is 21M BTC . But will it ever actually reach that number ?
please drop your opinions .
Reach that number as how?,
The 21 million is capped, which means, it is fixed. Everything is definitely going to go into circulation through the process of mining AFAIK, and the whole process will be completed in 2140 as per calculation. Not sure if there will be any changes to the protocol either.
21 million is the cap value as of now... Nothing has changed, except the reduction in block reward, which is part of the whole process.
Of course, more than 1 million might end up as burnt coin for so many reasons, but the value still remains at 21 million
cap.
I hope I didn't misunderstood the question.
