It is an indisputable fact that only 10% of the max supply remains for mining, but also that this 10% represents a little more than 2 million Bitcoins, and that is still a very large amount that needs to enter circulation. With the price now measured in the tens of thousands of $, and with everything in circulation, it is not difficult to conclude that there is still enough BTC on the market to meet all the current needs of any investor.
Fact is 50% of Bitcoin was mined from 2009 to 2012, 75% till 2016, 87.5% till 2020 and 93.75% till 2024. It means most of Bitcoin was mined and was exchanged at very cheap price. Many of them lost because of cheap price and carelessness.
Because of lost Bitcoin, we have less Bitcoin in real total supply for now and in the end. It's gift for all of us from people who thrown away their Bitcoin.
Although it is predicted that the last BTC will be mined around the year 2140, around 2030 99% of all coins will be mined, and those 1% (210 000) will remain for the next 100+ years. In less than 10 years, some things will be much clearer - and I hope some of us will be there to witness it.
Sooner or later people will realize how hard they can own 1 Bitcoin. In about 12 more years, 3 more halvings, I think we will see how people knew about Bitcoin in 2020, 2021 but still hesitated to invest in, feel deeply regret about their mistake by ignoring Bitcoin.
