Just realized something interesting about Bitcoin's supply - we're already sitting at over 20 million BTC in circulation, and the math on the remaining coins is wild. The last million Bitcoin will take another 114 years to mine out. That's genuinely crazy when you think about it.



So basically, most of Bitcoin's supply has already been mined in just over a decade, but the final stretch? That's going to be a super long game. The halving events keep slowing down the mining rewards, which is why the timeline gets stretched out so much toward the end. When all the Bitcoin will be mined is basically early 2140s territory at this point.

Makes you wonder about long-term scarcity narratives and what that means for future generations of hodlers. The supply cap of 21 million is getting closer every day, but the actual completion date is still generations away.
