I just noticed that Bitcoin has passed a significant milestone. The circulating supply has reached 20 million units, which means that 95% of the target 21 million units have entered the market. It took approximately 17 years to reach this point.



But what's interesting is that the remaining 1 million units will take more than 100 years. Due to the halving mechanism every 4 years, Bitcoin is designed to be fully mined around the year 2140. Currently, about 450 units are mined per day, which shows how Satoshi's design prevents inflation.
