🤓 Curious about Bitcoin’s monetary policy? It’s simple and fully transparent.
Bitcoin has a fixed supply: only 21 million will ever exist. New BTC is created through mining, and the reward halves every 210,000 blocks (about every 4 years). It started at 50 BTC per block, then dropped to 25, 12.5, 6.25, and now it's 3.125 BTC.
This process continues until around 2140, when the last Bitcoin is mined. After that, miners will earn only from transaction fees.
