Is there a limit to Bitcoin mining?

Eleonora Eleonora Sun Dec 22 2024 | 7 answers 1554
I'm wondering if there's a cap on how much Bitcoin can be mined. Is there a point where no more Bitcoin can be generated through mining, or is it an endless process? Is there a limit to Bitcoin mining?

However, this reward isn't static and undergoes a halving process.
