I'm wondering if Bitcoin, the popular cryptocurrency, will ever hit the 21 million mark. Is it possible for its circulation to reach this number in the future?
This limit is a fundamental aspect of the cryptocurrency's design.

Due to the use of rounding operators in the Bitcoin codebase, it is unlikely that the total number of Bitcoins issued will ever reach the exact figure of 21 million.

These rounding operators are a technical aspect of the Bitcoin protocol.
