  Sure! According to the Bitcoin protocol, the total supply of bitcoins is capped at 21 million. As of now, approximately 18.5 million bitcoins have been mined. This means that there are roughly 2.5 million bitcoins left to be mined. However, the rate at which new bitcoins are mined is halved approximately every four years through a process called the 'halving'. This means that the remaining bitcoins will be mined at a decreasing rate over time.

  Well, the estimated number of bitcoins that can still be mined is around 2.5 million. This number is based on the fact that the total supply of bitcoins is limited to 21 million. So far, about 18.5 million bitcoins have been mined, leaving approximately 2.5 million bitcoins yet to be mined. Keep in mind that the rate of bitcoin mining decreases over time due to the halving process, which reduces the block reward by half every four years.

  According to the latest data, there are approximately 2.5 million bitcoins left to be mined. This number is based on the fact that the total supply of bitcoins is capped at 21 million. As of now, around 18.5 million bitcoins have already been mined. The remaining bitcoins will be gradually mined over time, but at a decreasing rate due to the halving process. It's important to note that the exact number of bitcoins that can still be mined depends on various factors, including the mining difficulty and the rate at which new blocks are added to the blockchain.
