* Three million Bitcoins left to be mined! Bitcoin miners will mine the 18 millionth bitcoin this week, leaving just 3 million to be mined up until 2140. Yes, you read that right, 120 years to go before the last satoshi is mined. This leaves about 14% of the total supply remaining. With mining hashrate going up to 100 exahashes, the competition is heating up. Recently, US-based Bitcoin mining company Layer1 received $50 million in funding from Peter Thiel on a $200M valuation, showing institutional money entering the multi-billion dollar Bitcoin mining industry.
That's it for today's daily dose!
