  When we talk about the '216m road' in relation to BTC, we are referring to the predetermined limit of 21 million Bitcoins that can ever be mined. This limit was built into the Bitcoin protocol by its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, to ensure scarcity and prevent inflation. As of now, around 18.5 million Bitcoins have been mined, leaving approximately 2.5 million yet to be mined. Once the '216m road' is reached, no new Bitcoins will be created through mining, and the network will rely solely on transaction fees for miners' rewards.
