I'm wondering if there's a limit to the number of Bitcoins that can exist. Is there a maximum supply cap for Bitcoin, or can they be created indefinitely?

Bitcoin has a predefined maximum total supply of 21 million coins.

This limit is hardcoded into the Bitcoin protocol and serves as a key aspect of its economic model.

Despite this cap, it is unlikely that the exact number of 21 million Bitcoins will ever be issued.

This is due to the use of rounding operators within the Bitcoin codebase.

These rounding mechanisms are necessary for the smooth functioning of the Bitcoin network.
