Question #198 ·
Why is Bitcoin’s circulating supply important and how close is it to the 21 million cap?
- Because miners need it to validate blocks and it is nearly mined.
- It sets transaction speed limits currently at thirty transactions per second peak.
- Supply shows scarcity effect important for value it stands at 19,943,725 BTC. Right answer
Why is this the correct answer?
This is correct because Bitcoin’s maximum supply is capped at 21 million. Seeing that nearly 19.94 million are already in circulation helps beginners understand scarcity. As we approach the cap, new supply slows, which can support higher prices if demand holds steady.
