16 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the concept of a finite supply of 21 million BTC in the world of cryptocurrency. This feature has become one of Bitcoin's defining characteristics and has helped shape its perception as a valuable asset. The issuance of Bitcoin is carefully planned, with the supply halving every four years. However, the actual circulating supply may be lower due to lost or inaccessible coins. Despite the turmoil in the cryptocurrency market, the supply cap remains unchanged and immutable, distinguishing Bitcoin from unlimited fiat currency printing.
