A number is not a thing, it’s a measurement. Less than one bitcoin would be enough for the whole world if you just add zeros to it. That is how the bitcoin supply increases. It increases its value for everybody together.

Well, isn't that interesting? I always thought a number was just a symbol representing a certain quantity or value. However, regarding the bitcoin supply increase and value, it's not as simple as just adding zeros to it. You'd need buy-in from the rest of your trading peers too, otherwise those extra digits might be worth nothing more than yesterday's failed trade.

The point is as long as the available supply shrinks it increases the wealth of all participants. This is how money should’ve worked from the beginning. It’s the reverse of inflation making everyone poorer and the banks richer

1 bitcoin = 1.00000000

100,000,000 sats
