At the core of what makes Bitcoin so special is something incredibly simple - real supply and demand dynamics at play.
We have never had a money with hard coded supply issuance - where supply cannot be increased to meet demand. Meaning, we have never truly been able to save our time/effort/energy in a just and meaningful way. Dollars and fiat can be printed ad nauseam. Gold, while scarce, can always increase mining production to create demand equilibrium. But Bitcoin… is different.
Take the supply/demand dynamics of another market with a hard cap. Tickets to this years Super Bowl surpassed $10,000 per seat. An all time record. As demand increases, the price per seat must go up. And because the stadium is limited by the physical nature of space, they are unable to create more seats to meet the demand. This creates a lob sided supply/demand. Thus, each seats price must raise to meet market pressures.
Bitcoin is similar, but with one major caveat. Each Bitcoin is divisible into 100 million satoshis, which allows anyone to take part in the monetary network. So in essence, each seat in the stadium is able to be shared or split. And because cyberspace is not bound to natures physical restrictions, everyone gets a ticket to the show. Not the perfect analogy, but you see the point.
There has never been a money that offers its hand to anyone and everyone, while also perfectly maintaining its hard monetary principles. This is Satoshi’s invention. A monetary network where regardless of demand, those who wish to enter can do so at any time. Allowing those that do a way to save their time/effort/energy in something that can never be debased or destroyed.
The ramifications of this cannot be understated. They cannot be understood right now, as we are still in its infancy. Mankind has never had anything like this, and likely never will again. The Overton window has shifted forever. And once you see, you cannot unsee.
Bitcoin is a lifeboat on a ship that is sinking. But coincidentally, the lifeboat has room for everyone. All you have to do is take the first step. Study Bitcoin and you will reach the same conclusions every time.
