English term or phrase: Mathematically controlled supply and limitation of bitcoin number
Mathematically controlled supply and limitation of bitcoin number :

Bitcoin creation is mathematically controlled in a way that the supply of bitcoin grows at a limited
rate. In fact, the number of bitcoin rewarded when solving a new block is automatically divided by
two every 210,000 blocks. So, if the reward is 25 bitcoins, it will decrease to 12.5 when this ‘limit’ is
attained. This voluntary limitation means that the number of bitcoin in circulation will never outrun
21 million and bitcoin will never drop in value because of excessive supply.

Il y a également un avantage supplémentaire dans le Bitcoin : il existe une limitation mathématique du nombre de Bitcoins qui peuvent être créés, ce qui signifie ..."

"supply" and "number" are somewhat redundant...

neutral  Germaine: Je suis d’accord sur la redondance, mais "mathematically controlled" s’applique à supply/limitation; il ne s’y ajoute pas: limitation mathématique du nombre de bitcoins générés

neutral  Germaine: on parle plutôt de création que d’approvisionnement et je doute vraiment que "sous contrôle mathématique" soit un équivalent de "mathematically controlled" (controlled = limited).

disagree  Daryo: "approvisionnement" makes no sense - no one is literally "supplying" Bitcoins // they are created / generated - in the jargon they are "mined"! // "supply" is used in the sense of "total available quantity" not to mean "the act of supplying".

  -> supply of...number; it's still a supply, albeit not of physical objects; cf. supply of electricity, supply of Internet service, etc. etc. etc.
