Could you elaborate on the current prognosis for when the final Bitcoin will be mined? Given the halving schedule and the current rate of mining, do experts predict a specific year for this milestone? How does the network's difficulty adjustment algorithm impact this timeline? Are there any external factors, such as technological advancements or changes in mining profitability, that could accelerate or decelerate this process? What are the potential implications for the Bitcoin economy and the cryptocurrency market landscape once the last Bitcoin is mined?
