just occurred to me out of the blue that if 200m people out of 8b want bitcoin equally, they’d only get around 0.1 btc each.

Even less if you take into consideration lost BTC.
We’re so early.
We’re at somewhere around 100k sat per person on earth currently…
Couple millions of it are lost, 1 mil is residing in Satoshi's wallet will likely never see circulation, couple mils are being hoarded by institutions and stuff, the available number is far lower than 21M, more like around 15M perhaps.
Yeah, now work out the economic development on that.
Exactly. It's a circle jerk among 200k.
You can buy and hold Bitcoin and play by yourself on the corner too and call it a circular economy, whilst every one else, 98% of the world, use something else.
But that's the reality of currency.

When bitcoin becomes the asset of choice for the American saver we will see many wishing they could have 0.1 BTC the same way people today wished they had bought 1 BTC a few years ago.
And we know that can't happen either. Interesting observation.
here's a little interactive tool to play with the concept you're talking about here: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/26244d42-5e80-4bb7-a9b3-d3fc6a7a64cf
it calculates your "wealth multiplier" - how many times above or below an equal global distribution you are - in both USD and Bitcoin, then shows how purchases impact your position.
If we divide 2.1 quadrillion Sats by 8 billion people then it’s only about 262,000 Sats per person
