> ~21 million BTC is the max that can ever exist at once

Just to clarify: it's not that there can only be 21 million BTC 'at once'...unless there's a big change in its design that the majority support.

There will only be 21 million BTC ever. If the keys for 1 million of them are lost, then those will never be replaced.
