I've been hearing a lot about Bitcoin recently and I'm curious to know, what is the maximum number of Bitcoins that can exist? Is there a cap on the total supply of Bitcoin?

Despite this cap, it is unlikely that the exact number of 21 million Bitcoins will ever be issued.

This is due to the use of rounding operators within the Bitcoin codebase.

These rounding operators ensure that the issuance of Bitcoins is a smooth and gradual process.

Once the Bitcoin supply reaches its upper limit, no additional Bitcoins will be generated.
