Bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21 million coins. (There are currently between 18 and 19 million bitcoin in circulation.) The remaining amount of bitcoin will reportedly take over 100 years to mint. “Bitcoin’s fixed-supply scarcity is most highly valued because it is coupled with accelerating demand, proven use cases and recognized desirability,” Terpin told CoinDesk.
