People mostly focus on Bitcoin’s limited supply cap, but rarely think about the genius of coupling that with infinite divisibility.

Both are crucial in creating a global currency.

Totally agree! The mix of a fixed supply and being super divisible really makes Bitcoin special. It’s like the perfect combo for a worldwide currency. Exciting times ahead! 🌍💰 #Bitcoin

The cat in the hat comes back.

Infinite divisibility provided the Cat with increasingly smaller cats from the Hat with the ability to solve the mess it created. Of course! Dr. Seuss knew!

To answer your question, my musings. Perhaps the temptation to do good is all that is needed for it to proliferate. As with the temptation for evil. Maybe #Bitcoin provides the infrastructure for an accounting for good down to its most fundamental unit.

On a more serious and less allegorical note, I think you’re hitting on something that’s really foundational to any currency that purports to provide the immense capital infrastructure necessary to help humanity ascend into the heavens. It’s the ability of the infinite to exist within the framework of the finite. Core to that is acceptance of a society based on deflationary valuation, which in turn relies on a shared belief in a limited supply of human capital—the most precious of all.
