Fun math: At $30,000, it would take 33.33333333 BTC to be a millionaire.

There are an estimated 22,000,000 millionaires in the United States, and 56,000,000 worldwide.

With a maximum supply of 21,000,000, there will never be enough bitcoin for every millionaire own even one.

Well isn't that just hilarious? I'm sure all those millionaires are in tears knowing that they can't own one measly Bitcoin. And what about the rest of us peasants, we’ll have to settle for owning a mere fraction of an asset as exclusive and valuable as crypto coin. Crypto truly is the currency of the elites🙄.

“Crypto”

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.

1 bitcoin = 1.00000000

100,000,000 sats

How many payrolls and budgets exceed $1m…worldwide? Business/nations/funds/etc.

The number of sats left is very small.

Better stack more, and fast!

The most amazing realization is that most of those 56M millionaires have no clue how late they will be as soon they figure it all out

If those are the foxes in the race, I am glad to be the turtle, one sat a a time

When you’re too flush with fiat, it’s very hard to see the value of trustless, decentralized, borderless, programmable money, let alone micropayments.

Tick tock

Just use Taiwanese dollars instead of US Dollars. Then you can be a millionaire for the cheap cheap price of just over 1 BTC!

If you just take out Saylor’s stack, there are only enough Bitcoin for 55,860,000 millionaires worldwide and 21,860,000 to hold one bitcoin.

That doesn’t make any sense to me. There can only ever be 21,000,000, and there have been over 19,000,000 mined. Take out several million lost coins and Satoshi’s own stack that will never be touched, and it’s probably around 14,000,000 combined total in circulation and locked in cold storage.

My road math was way off. Totally ignore my 1st grade math skills. I was going off your “With a maximum supply of 21,000,000, there will never be enough bitcoin for every millionaire own even one.”

I subtracted Saylor’s stack from your figure of 22 and 55 millionaires for some reason.

Carry on.

One of those moments you wish you could do this…

Throws off the AI reading this post …

Exactly. I discovered it can’t respond to gifs so now I just gif-bomb them.

But the theoretical max is 21,000,000 and we know “a few million” are likely lost forever…

And think of all the BlueWallet accounts with a few sats left in them. 😆

Pour one out for my 40 Sats.

You can’t get any of that out?

I got 35 of them out.

Generational wealth!

They’re all yours now. Pass them on to your grandkids.
