I want to know the maximum possible number of Bitcoin that can exist. I'm curious about the upper limit of Bitcoin's supply and whether there's a cap on how many can be created.

This cap is a fundamental aspect of the cryptocurrency's design.

The Bitcoin codebase uses rounding operators, which may prevent the total number of issued Bitcoins from ever reaching the exact 21 million mark.

These rounding operators are integral to the Bitcoin network's operation and cannot be easily altered.

As a result, the actual number of Bitcoins in circulation will likely be slightly less than 21 million.
