$BTC Bitcoin — often called “digital gold” — has a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins. This limit was built into the system by its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, making Bitcoin fundamentally different from traditional currencies that can be printed without limit.
By 2025, nearly 20 million BTC have already been mined, while the remaining coins are expected to enter circulation gradually until around 2140. This is due to Bitcoin’s “halving” system, which reduces mining rewards roughly every four years and increases scarcity over time.
Meanwhile, Ethereum operates much faster, processing new blocks in about 12 seconds compared to Bitcoin’s average of 10 minutes.
This difference highlights how BTC is often viewed as a long-term store of value, while ETH is designed for faster transactions and decentralized applications.
