Could you elaborate on the current supply situation of Bitcoin? I'm particularly interested in understanding how the total number of Bitcoins in circulation has evolved over time. Given the limited supply of 21 million Bitcoins, what percentage of that has already been mined? Also, is there any expected change in the mining rate that could affect the future supply? And how does this limited supply affect the value and demand for
Bitcoin in the market? I'd appreciate a concise yet comprehensive overview of the current Bitcoin supply landscape.
