Video - Unlocking the Treasure: The Race to Mine the Last Bitcoin
Did you know that the world of Bitcoin is capped like a soda bottle, but instead of fizz, it's filled with digital gold? That's right, the total supply of Bitcoin is limited to precisely 21 million coins. Why 21 million, you ask? Not even a supercomputer solving a Rubik's cube knows for sure, but it's believed to keep inflation in check, kind of like having only 21 million golden tickets in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. As of now, over 19 million Bitcoins have been mined, which means we're getting close to finding all the treasure, making the last few Bitcoins feel like the final pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. And here's a kicker, the last Bitcoin is expected to be mined in the year 2140. Yup, mark your calendars! It's a slow treasure hunt, thanks to the process called halving, which cuts the mining rewards in half, making Bitcoin harder to get than a perfect selfie on a windy day. So, want to feel like a digital-age pirate? Maybe it's time to dive into the world of Bitcoin mining, before the map runs out of Xs. What do you think, would you try to mine the remaining Bitcoins?
