👍 Soon, even millionaires won’t be able to afford 1 BTC
No market review today—the situation remains the same as yesterday. So, let’s do a little math.
As of today, 20.07 million BTC have been mined—95.6% of the total supply. Only 4.4% remains, which will be mined by the year 2140.
But the actual amount of BTC in circulation is even smaller:
16.7% of coins are considered lost forever, and 5.2% are in Satoshi’s wallets—meaning ~22% of the supply can effectively be ruled out. In reality, about 75% of all BTC is actually available.
And the available supply will continue to decline: look at how much BTC large companies and funds are snapping up, and another portion will be lost or burned.
And finally, the most interesting part—a comparison with M2 (global money supply), which is constantly growing: the economy and inflation are structured in such a way that there is always more money in the world.
The rest is simple: BTC issuance is limited, the money supply is growing → part of it flows into BTC → the price rises. No cycles, bull markets, or other factors. Just math.
And one day, there will come a time when even $1 million won’t be enough to buy 1 BTC. To some, this sounds like a fairy tale, but when BTC was worth $100, a price of $100k also seemed like a fairy tale.
