Excuse me, but could you elaborate on the inflationary nature of bitcoins? I've heard conflicting opinions on this matter, and I'm curious to understand the economic principles behind it. Specifically, does the Bitcoin protocol have a fixed supply limit, or is there a mechanism that allows for the creation of new bitcoins over time? If there is a limit, how does this affect the potential for inflation? And if new bitcoins can be created, what factors determine the rate of issuance and how does this relate to inflation? Thank you for clarifying this for me.

One such measure is the "halving" event, which occurs approximately every four years.
