I heard that the total number of bitcoins is capped at 21 million. I'm wondering why is it designed to be this way? Why can't there be more bitcoins created in the future?

As a result, the precise cap of 21 million Bitcoins may not be attainable.

The total number of Bitcoins that will ever be issued may not hit the 21 million mark.

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