I'm wondering if Bitcoin mining is still profitable or even possible at this point. With so many miners already active, I'm curious if there's still Bitcoin left to be mined.
On February 1, 2024, the total number of Bitcoin (BTC) mined approached a significant milestone.

Specifically, approximately 19.62 million BTCs have been extracted from the total supply cap of 21 million.

To manage the scarcity and distribution of BTC, a mechanism known as Halving is implemented.

Every 210,000 blocks, which approximately equates to four years, the Halving event occurs. This process cuts the reward for mining a block in half, gradually slowing down the production of new Bitcoin.

This leaves roughly 1.38 million BTC still available for mining.
