比特币总供应量的时间正在流逝

据比特币历史学家 Pete Rizzo 称，目前官方公布的待开采比特币数量不足 120 万枚。

Bitcoin's total supply is dwindling rapidly, with recent data revealing that less than 1.2 million BTC now remain to be mined. This development marks a crucial stage in Bitcoin's history, highlighting its defining characteristic of scarcity.

比特币的总供应量正在迅速减少，最近的数据显示，目前尚待开采的比特币不足 120 万枚。这一发展标志着比特币历史上的一个关键阶段，凸显了其稀缺性的决定性特征。

Bitcoin's total supply is capped at 21 million coins, a design element set by its pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. With 19.8 million BTC already mined, the remaining 1.2 million now constitutes less than 6% of the total supply.

比特币的总供应量上限为 2100 万枚，这是由其匿名创建者中本聪设定的设计元素。目前已开采 1980 万枚 BTC，剩余 120 万枚目前仅占总供应量的不到 6%。

This scarcity is a key factor in Bitcoin's value proposition, and as the supply dwindles, the potential for increased demand could drive its price higher.

这种稀缺性是比特币价值主张的关键因素，随着供应量的减少，需求增加的潜力可能会推高其价格。

Further heightening the scarcity is Bitcoin's halving event, which occurs every four years and reduces the already limited supply even more. During a halving, the reward for mining new blocks is reduced by half, slowing the rate at which new Bitcoins enter circulation.

比特币的减半事件进一步加剧了稀缺性，该事件每四年发生一次，进一步减少了本已有限的供应。在减半期间，开采新区块的奖励减少一半，从而减慢了新比特币进入流通的速度。

The next Bitcoin halving is projected to occur on April 17, 2028, at a block height of 1,050,000. When this happens, the Bitcoin block reward will be slashed to 1.5625. The last Bitcoin halving occurred on April 20, 2024, at block height 840,000, with the Bitcoin block reward halved from 6.25 to 3.125.

下一次比特币减半预计将于 2028 年 4 月 17 日发生，区块高度为 1,050,000。当这种情况发生时，比特币区块奖励将大幅削减至 1.5625。上一次比特币减半发生在 2024 年 4 月 20 日，区块高度为 840,000，比特币区块奖励从 6.25 减半至 3.125。

At the current pace of block production and following the halving schedule, the last Bitcoin is expected to be mined around 2140. This long-term horizon ensures that Bitcoin's scarcity will continue to be a distinguishing quality for decades to come.

按照目前的区块生产速度和减半时间表，最后一个比特币预计将在 2140 年左右开采。这一长期视野确保了比特币的稀缺性将在未来几十年继续成为一个显着的品质。
