    Sure! As of now, there are approximately 2.6 million bitcoins left to be mined out of the total supply of 21 million. This means that around 12.38% of the total bitcoins are yet to be mined. The mining process involves solving complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. As time goes on, the mining difficulty increases, making it harder to mine new bitcoins. So, the remaining bitcoins will be mined at a slower pace than before.

    Well, let me break it down for you. Out of the 21 million bitcoins that will ever exist, around 18.4 million have already been mined. This leaves us with approximately 2.6 million bitcoins yet to be mined. However, it's important to note that the rate at which new bitcoins are mined decreases over time due to the halving events that occur every four years. So, it will take longer to mine the remaining bitcoins compared to the ones that have already been mined.

    According to the latest data, there are still around 2.6 million bitcoins left to be mined. This number represents the remaining supply of bitcoins that will be gradually released into circulation through the mining process. It's worth mentioning that the mining process becomes increasingly challenging over time, as more miners join the network and the difficulty level adjusts. Therefore, the rate at which new bitcoins are mined will continue to decrease until the last one is mined.
