According to Bitcoin analyst and supporter Luke Broyles, the journey to mining Bitcoin’s smallest unit, the last Satoshi, will be unprecedented in digital history.
According to Broyles, the energy required to mine the final singular Bitcoin will outweigh the combined energy that took to mine the first 20,000,000 BTC. He predicts that by producing the final bitcoin, it will be able to consume energy in the first third of the 22nd century.
The final singular Bitcoin needs more energy to create than the first 20,000,000 Bitcoin, than the first third of the 22nd century.
The final ATSH adopts infinite energy.

From this perspective, Broyles argues that the final atshi demands infinite energy to create whether it means that it remains figically unknown. According to Broyles, in his view, the digital rarity Bitcoin model is designed to be blown away by infinite difficulty.
Half of Bitcoin occurs approximately every four years. With each event, mining rewards are reduced by half, and the mining process tends to be slower and consume more resources. With the latest harving event, Bitcoin mining rewards will be reduced to 3.125 BTC, with the next half going down to 1.5625 BTC.
1.15 million bitcoins remain
Bitcoin supply is fixed at 21 million coins. Of the total Bitcoin, 19.85 million have already been mined, with about 1.15 million remaining.
With half the bitcoin generation, it will most certainly take years to mine the remaining coins. The last bitcoin produced and released into the circulation is projected by the end of 2140, ensuring that the Bitcoin mining process will slow down in the market over time.
Once mining is complete, new Bitcoin will not be released to the market. Miners use transaction fees to verify transactions and maintain the blockchain.
Bitcoin was trading at $94,181 at the time of writing, but in January it reached an all-time high of $109,114.
