Why this matters

Bitcoin's fixed and diminishing supply is a core tenet of its value proposition, designed to create scarcity and potentially drive up its price over time. Reaching 95% mined highlights the increasing scarcity and the long-term nature of its mining schedule, impacting investor sentiment and future market dynamics.
