I'm wondering if Bitcoin, which is a digital currency, will eventually run out. I know there's a limited supply, so I'm curious if it's possible that we'll reach a point where all the Bitcoin has been mined and there's none left to be found.

When Bitcoin was first launched, miners were rewarded with 50 BTC for each block they mined.

However, this reward is subject to a halving event every 210,000 blocks.

A halving event reduces the block reward by half.

Bitcoin's hard cap of 21 million coins is not directly encoded in a solitary line of its code.

This cycle continues until all 21 million Bitcoins have been mined.
