I want to know if Bitcoin is infinite. Can the number of Bitcoins increase indefinitely, or is there a limit to how many can be created? I'm curious about the total supply of Bitcoin and if it has an upper bound.

These rounding operators can cause small fractions of Bitcoin to be created or destroyed during transactions, affecting the total supply.

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

Due to the use of rounding operators in the Bitcoin codebase, it is unlikely that the total number of Bitcoins issued will ever reach the 21 million mark exactly.

The Bitcoin codebase incorporates rounding operators to handle the division of Bitcoin into smaller units called satoshis.
