Scarcity creates value
When something is rare or limited, people naturally value it more.
This is true for gold, artwork, vintage cars, or limited edition sneakers.
Bitcoin follows the same principle.
There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin
One of Bitcoin’s core features is that its total supply is fixed from the beginning.
No more than 21 million will ever exist.
No government, no bank, and no person can change that.
Why does scarcity matter?
Because when more people want something that’s limited, the price tends to go up.
Imagine this:
There’s a small plane with just 21 seats for a special flight.
Once those seats are sold, you can’t add more.
If demand increases, the price per seat rises, simply because supply is limited.
That’s how Bitcoin works on a global scale.
Scarcity is built into the code
The number of new Bitcoin created decreases over time, and the final one will be mined around the year 2140.
This process is known as the halving, and it happens automatically every four years.
How does scarcity protect your money?
Traditional currencies can be printed in unlimited amounts, which often leads to inflation and a loss of purchasing power.
Bitcoin, with its fixed supply, helps ensure your savings retain their value — and possibly grow.
Most people don’t know the rules of money
Let’s face it:
Most of us don’t understand how money is created, when it’s printed, or by whom.
It’s a complex, opaque system controlled by a few.
It’s like playing Monopoly without knowing the rules
And yet — this is how many of us play the real-world economy.
Key Takeaways
✅ Only 21 million Bitcoin will ever exist
✅ The supply is limited by code, not political decisions
✅ Scarcity helps protect and grow your wealth over time
