By design, Bitcoin is a scarce crypto asset. It cannot be continuously printed like the fiat currencies and the number is capped at 21 million. This means there will only ever exist 21 million Bitcoins out there and out of which nearly 19 million has already been mined. This means, as far as supply inflation is concerned, we can expect a maximum of nearly ~2 million more Bitcoins to join the circulation in the many years to come (since it becomes more and more difficult to mine Bitcoin as time passes). Additionally, approximately 3-4 million Bitcoins are already expected to have been lost since some people didn’t care about it in the early foundation years and Bitcoins have been discarded in lost wallets and old hard disks alike. Only if we knew then what we know now!
