How Many Bitcoins Are There and How Much Is Left to Mine?

Everything should and will come to an end, so does Bitcoin. If you are wondering, How many bitcoins are there and what is the limit of bitcoins that can be in existence, you are at the right place. Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that operates independently of a central bank. Cryptocurrencies use cryptography to secure transactions and limit the creation of new units using a peer-to-peer network. Satoshi Nakamoto, an individual or a group, invented bitcoin in 2009. Its bitcoin mining process involves solving complex math problems, which are rewarded with bitcoin each time they’re solved.

What you'll learn today
How many Bitcoins are there?How many Bitcoins are left to mine?How many bitcoins can be mined every day?Are all Bitcoins mined available in the market?When will Bitcoin mining end?Why will bitcoin end after 21 million?

How many Bitcoins are there?

There are currently 19,621,492 bitcoins in existence, and you might be thinking why can’t they start mining more bitcoins every day. Bitcoin mining is a complex and energy-intensive process, which requires a lot of computer power. A computer is used to solve a mathematical problem with a 64-digit solution in order to generate new Bitcoins. One block of Bitcoins is processed for each problem solved.

The first miner to discover the solution is rewarded as well. To keep bitcoin transactions secure, mining is critical. Mining will continue to be required after the last bitcoin is issued and there are no plans for expanding it beyond that number.

How many Bitcoins are left to mine?

There is 1,378,507 bitcoin left to mine. The most bitcoins that can ever be in circulation is 21 million. That’s not very many, but it’s still a lot.

How many bitcoins can be mined every day?

Well, there is no mathematical formula to calculate how many you can mine in a day; however, every day, around 900 Bitcoins are mined. One bitcoin is divisible to one hundred millionths (one cent), and there are about 144 blocks mined every day, each of which contains 6.25 bitcoins. At this rate, the final Bitcoin will be mined sometime before 2140. You may be wondering what will happen to Bitcoins after that and why everyone will stop mining them. Read on to find out more.

Are all Bitcoins mined available in the market?

Technically NO, it is believed that there are around 4 million bitcoins lost and not available in the market. It is tough to estimate the lost bitcoins.

When will Bitcoin mining end?

Bitcoin mining will end in the year 2140. You cannot mine new bitcoins after that. (This is an estimate and technology may advance in coming years to overcome this limitation.) After 21 million bitcoins have been released, the miners will no longer be paid for blocks, and they will solely get compensated through transaction fees. Mining a bitcoin is an expensive endeavor, therefore if transaction fees are all that comes of it, there won’t be any miners left to keep mining after that.

Why will bitcoin end after 21 million?

There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin in circulation. This is because bitcoin mining has become increasingly difficult and more energy-intensive due to the amount of computer power required for each bitcoin block that is mined. Once all possible bitcoin have been mined, there will never be another bitcoin created since it would require an infinite number of calculations; this means bitcoin mining will come to an end. Bitcoin also has a rule written into its source code stating that it must have a fixed and finite quantity. As a result, Bitcoin will never have more than 21 million coins in circulation.

Bitcoin is considered as Gold/Silver or a lottery

Bitcoin has a limited supply, which means bitcoin can be compared with precious metals like gold and silver; investors see bitcoin as the new digital way of investing in assets that are finite. This is one reason why bitcoin prices have risen significantly since its launch back in 2008/2009 when it traded at less than a dollar.

Bitcoin has been described as digital gold and bitcoin investors are similar to bitcoin miners in that they mine bitcoin by buying computers, specialized mining hardware, and software to solve mathematical problems with a 64-digit solution needed for the bitcoin block. The biggest difference between bitcoin mining cryptocurrency is that one miner can use multiple machines which means their chances of solving bitcoin blocks is higher.

Bitcoin mining has been compared to a lottery where bitcoin miners compete with each other to solve the bitcoin block first in order to win bitcoin rewards. This is because there are thousands of people trying to mine bitcoin and only one person can be rewarded per solved bitcoin block, which means that if you want a greater chance of bitcoin rewards you need to buy bitcoin mining hardware and software.
