    The remaining supply of bitcoins for mining is 2.1 million. As of now, approximately 18.9 million bitcoins have been mined out of the total supply of 21 million. It is estimated that it will take around 120 years to mine the remaining bitcoins at the current rate of block creation. However, it's important to note that the rate of block creation can change due to factors such as mining difficulty adjustments and changes in mining technology.

    There are currently 2.1 million bitcoins left to be mined. The total supply of bitcoins is capped at 21 million, and the remaining supply is gradually released through the mining process. The rate at which new bitcoins are mined is halved approximately every four years in an event known as the 'halving'. This means that the rate of bitcoin creation slows down over time, making it more difficult and resource-intensive to mine new bitcoins. As a result, the remaining supply will be mined at a decreasing rate over the coming years.

    According to the latest data, there are approximately 2.1 million bitcoins left to be mined. This remaining supply is gradually released through the mining process, which involves solving complex mathematical problems to validate transactions on the Bitcoin network. The mining process is designed to become progressively more difficult over time, which means that the rate of bitcoin creation decreases as more bitcoins are mined. This ensures that the total supply of bitcoins will never exceed 21 million. It's worth noting that the remaining supply of bitcoins for mining is subject to change based on various factors, including changes in mining technology and the overall demand for bitcoins.
