Excuse me, could you please clarify for me how the creation of Bitcoins works? Specifically, I'm wondering about the frequency of new Bitcoins entering the market. Is it true that a fixed number of Bitcoins are created every 10 minutes? If so, how many Bitcoins are actually created during this time period? I'm trying to understand the mechanics behind the supply of Bitcoins and how it affects the overall market dynamics. Thank you for your time and expertise.

The Bitcoin monetary policy is designed to ensure a steady and predictable supply of the cryptocurrency.

One of the key mechanisms of this policy is the creation of new Bitcoins at a fixed rate.

Specifically, 12.5 Bitcoins are generated every 10 minutes as a reward for miners who contribute their processing power to the network.

This reward serves as an incentive for miners to continue validating transactions and maintaining the security of the Bitcoin blockchain.

Without this incentive, miners would have little reason to dedicate their resources to the network, and the security of the Bitcoin network would be jeopardized.
