With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often called "digital gold" due to its deflationary nature. Over 19 million coins are already mined.
Once all Bitcoins are mined, miners will rely solely on transaction fees instead of block rewards to sustain the network.
Energy-intensive mining and reliance on fees may strain miners. Will transaction fees alone suffice to secure the network?
Capped supply and rising demand could increase Bitcoin’s value, but external factors like regulation and competition will also play a role.
Innovations like the Lightning Network aim to address congestion and boost transaction efficiency, ensuring network sustainability.
Bitcoin’s capped supply and decentralized governance position it as a resilient digital asset in the evolving financial ecosystem.
