I'm wondering if Bitcoin, which is a digital currency, will ever be depleted. Since it's based on a finite amount of code, I'm curious if there's a chance we could run out of Bitcoin someday.

However, 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.
