I'm wondering how many years or decades it might take for all the Bitcoins to be completely mined. I know there's a limited supply, so I'm curious about the timeline for the full mining of Bitcoin.

The halving is a significant event in the Bitcoin network. It occurs approximately every four years.

As a result, no more new Bitcoin will be created after 2140. This limited supply is a key factor in Bitcoin's value proposition.

During the halving, the amount of new Bitcoin miners receive is reduced by half. This process is designed to limit the total supply of Bitcoin.

The reduction in the mining reward is a crucial aspect of Bitcoin's monetary policy. It ensures that the supply of Bitcoin grows at a predictable and decreasing rate.

The halving continues until the year 2140. By this time, the flow of new Bitcoin will have dwindled from one satoshi per block to zero.
