As nonsensical as this FUD is, it keeps resurfacing from so-called “intellectuals”.

If it were true, then 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀, like pizza, and we could solve world hunger!

Sadly, this argument isn’t enough for some people. They think so 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 that they forget to apply these things 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺.

The following explanation is for them.👇

Bitcoin's scarcity is defined by its fixed supply of exactly 2,099,999,997,690,000 sats, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥. Dividing sats into smaller units doesn't increase their total number any more than splitting a gold bar into smaller pieces creates more gold.

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁, regardless of division in second layers. 2,099,999,997,690,000 sats are equal to 2,099,999,997,690,000,000 millisats, 2,099,999,997,690,000,000,000 microsats, and 2,099,999,997,690,000,000,000,000 nanosats. Each number may appear bigger than the last, but their denominations are proportionally smaller, which means they’re truly equal in amount.

Thus, bitcoin maintains its value and scarcity, regardless of how it's divided or used on second layers. Its fixed supply is a core feature, unaffected by transactional divisions.

Give this a 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲🤙, and 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲🔄 this with anyone who still spreads this FUD.

Someone will certainly bring this up again, so be sure to 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸🔖 this for when they do!

How would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 respond to this FUD?
