A total of 21 million units will be 'mined' over time, with the mining rate being halved every four years, providing a predictable monetary supply. Altcoins are cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin and stablecoins, which seek to maintain equivalence to another asset, such as a fiat currency or a commodity.
