If 8,000 people competed for a commodity with supply limited to 21 units, how much would they pay to get their hands on each unit? Fractional units? What about multiple units?
This is the game we are playing when it comes to #Bitcoin .
There are only ever going to be 21,000,000 #BTC .
8,000,000,000 people (and this number will likely rise) around the world can benefit from owning some.
Now let's think of an even crazier scenario...
19 units of the good have already been sold, and 7,950 of the 8,000 people still have no idea what's going on. They haven't even realized that this good is something they can benefit from.
What happens when those 7,950 people figure it out? How much are they willing to pay to get their hands on even a fractional unit, if it improves their life significantly?
Bitcoin protects you from monetary debasement over the long term. It's a way to opt out of inflation.
What's that worth to you?
How many trillions of dollars of value are people willing to pay to protect potentially their entire lineage?
Bitcoin is infinitely divisible. There will be demand for smaller and smaller units over time. Most of the people holding Bitcoin will not sell - they will exchange it for goods and services.
Your ability to buy Bitcoin with fiat currencies is slowly disappearing. Eventually, the only available supply will be available in exchange for goods and services.
