Yes, 21 million is the max supply of bitcoin. But in actual fact, some bitcoin are lost forever because of various reasons like lost private keys and etc. So the actual supply is much lower than 21 million.

The circulating supply will never reach 21 million for bitcoin because tons of bitcoin were lost forever because of the fact that people lost their wallets. The current circulation is also less than 14-15 million for now, probably.

Good morning Reading about bitcoin, I've found that there is a maximum of BTC that can be mined: 21 milions It is said that this limit is due to the source code.
As probably you know more than I do about BTC: - is it a real limit - is it a good thing? I think it is but it looks like BTC will become more a commodity and not just a payment system
What do you think?
This is truth that bitcoin has limit of 21 millions but I don't think that this limit will be achieve by the bitcoin blockchain network Because the main reason behind this factor is that after mine of every one pin the difficulty to mine another next coin is very tough by the miners , And as already about 80% coins of bitcoin are lined so difficulty is much in the current time and Mining of bitcoin by the people normally to have miners is not much profitbale , so here may be it can take about 10 years or may be more to achieve 21 millions bitcoin whole . And I think it will be better for those who have hold bitcoin Because supply will be zero and demand will go on increasing , so price will increase much and we will make.lots of profit by holding bitcoin.

This is stated many time it is true that there is limit of bitcoin to be mine, that is why they are creating a counter part of bitcoins because of that limitation. What? Bitcoin is not limited by this at all. The amount of units <Satoshi> is more than enough and if you want to create more units, then you just need consensus from the people running the full nodes, to run the software with the new changes. We do not need Counter party tokens to adress any limitations that does not exist. ^lol^ Yeah it is limitless and it is because of its new features and saving procedures. Now 1 satoshi has increased more than 30k and it will not stop growing just it is not having limit but will take time to find this limitation or maybe we will never be able to discover it. For many reasons bitcoin is being use and it will have much more than this if bitcoin will increase the limit and power of an ordinary persons savings.

Your limit bitcoin will reach in 20 years. So the question is, will it live that long?

Well if this is a legit information well thanks, but I have several questions like is rhis about per account ? Per wallet ? How about the investors ? I dont think so that they will be able to agree with rhis one, since Bitcoin promotes anonymity feature , a person can possess several accounts and you can see that it may be above the limits, thanks anyway.

The circulating supply will never reach 21 million for bitcoin because tons of bitcoin were lost forever because of the fact that people lost their wallets. The current circulation is also less than 14-15 million for now, probably. It is also impossible to be certain about which bitcoins have actually been lost forever. Someone holding the private key of a wallet can prove ownership but in Bitcoin it is impossible to prove that you have actually access to the key.

Yes, it is true that the limit to bitcoins is 21 million. After that no new bitcoins will be mined by the miners. Bitcoins will still be in use via transactions. But this will take a long time to reach this value. Still millions of bitcoins are yet to be mined.

I believe this is true. A lot of people has known it ever since Bitcoin was released. Most of the 21 million bitcoins were already in Satoshi Nakamura's pockets.

You can always make more alternative cryptocurrencies based off of Bitcoin, but there is only one real Bitcoin. There's 21M parts to it and once they're all created and mined, you can't redo or make more. You can trade the currently existing ones or divide them up even further, but that's about that.

The limit can be changed (up or down I assume!) if the development team and the majority of miners decide to change it. So we can say a change is not likely in the near future, but no one knows what the future holds.

Exactly when btc was released it was only offered 20 million btc and that was a fixed number. Especially at that time, btc is usually provide free in great quantity .I do not think there will be any more releases. This is also a cause for high btc prices. btc is a commodity, it is not wrong. Basically btc is also a commodity, just like gold and we trade it to make a profit.
