tell her this: darling, bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21 million because its code was designed that way by its creator, satoshi nakamoto, to ensure scarcity (just like digital gold). new coins are released slowly through mining, but the total stops at 21 million, making it more valuable over time.

Yeah but how is the supply limited is the question

Every node run this. That’s it. If blocks keep being hashed then this equation terminates at ā‰ˆ21,000,000

There will never be 21 million bitcoin.

Correct. ā‰ˆ21,000,000 but slightly less.

Sure lemme just show her this and get called a nerd real quick

Ben she already knows. This will strengthen your personal brand
