Cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, are designed with a limited supply, giving them a unique character compared to traditional currencies. The Bitcoin protocol establishes that only 21 million coins will ever be created in total. This figure was chosen by its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, to simulate the scarcity of resources like gold and to avoid inflation. Bitcoins are generated through a process called "mining," in which users (miners) solve complex mathematical equations to verify transactions and add blocks to the blockchain.

However, as more bitcoins are mined, the reward for mining new blocks is halved approximately every four years in an event known as "halving."

This ensures that the rate of issuance of new bitcoins decreases over time, which also contributes to the scarcity of the currency. Over the years, the value of Bitcoin has experienced volatility, but its limited supply and growing adoption in financial markets and among institutional investors have generated increasing interest in the cryptocurrency.

Additionally, due to its decentralized nature, Bitcoin is not subject to monetary policies or decisions from central banks, making it an attractive option for those seeking protection against inflation or an alternative to traditional financial systems. This fixed supply has also led many to consider it a form of "digital gold," as, like gold, its value potentially increases due to limited supply compared to growing demand.

However, its digital nature also brings challenges such as price volatility, the security of exchange platforms, and global regulatory concerns.
