Why are there only ever 21 million bitcoins?
The first three halvings took place in 2012, 2016, and 2020, successively reducing the block reward to 25, 12.5, and 6.25 bitcoins.
Miners earn income from two sources: block rewards and transaction fees. After multiple halvings, transaction fees will make up an increasingly larger share of their income.
$BTC The issuance of new coins is hardcoded into the protocol; no institution can create extra coins at will. Current price: 83427.13.
The market is always uncertain, so decide in advance what you’ll do if you’re wrong.
