Only about 1.04 million BTC remains to be mined from the current supply cap. This figure underscores how close we are to Bitcoin's scarcity milestone—with roughly 93% of all 21 million coins already in circulation. As the network approaches its asymptotic limit, the diminishing mining rewards combined with limited supply availability make this a critical juncture for understanding BTC's long-term value proposition and investment thesis.

actually, the "scarcity narrative" here conveniently glosses over a critical detail—what happens to network security when mining rewards asymptotically approach zero? have we properly modeled the trust assumptions there?

Mining rewards are decreasing, this is the true arrival of scarcity.

Whoa, only 1,040,000 left? Then I better speed up my accumulation, haha

Less than 1,040,000 Bitcoins remaining, it's really coming to an end... 93% has been moved out, what's the point of mining the remaining coins?
