Crypto Industry News:

The total and target Bitcoin supply amounts to 21 million units. Today 85% of this number has been dug. In addition, in less than a year – in May 2020 – another division of the prize for block mining in the BTC network awaits. Up to now, such a period was conducive to growth and was the basis for subsequent bubbles. It is no different now.

The current supply of bitcoins means that only 17,850,000 people around the world can own one whole coin. In reality, however, this number is even smaller because there are people who, for example, have lost private keys to their portfolios.

Looking to the future, in May 2020 the aforementioned reduction of miners ‘payments will take place – the miners’ award will fall from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC for a new block. This event, which, according to analysts’ predictions, will increase the price of bitcoin.
