💡 Many people ask: isn’t it risky that global corporations or even nations enter the Bitcoin market and “buy it all up” before average people can?
This process has already begun. More and more US and international companies are buying Bitcoin — not to sell it, but because they want to become “Bitcoin banks.” Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy is one example, or in Japan, Metaplanet, a hotel group that started buying Bitcoin. Its stock price skyrocketed, enabling them to buy even more. This movement works like a vacuum cleaner: it keeps sucking liquidity out of capital markets and into Bitcoin.
🔢 But why shouldn’t we fear that it will all be gone?
Bitcoin’s supply is finite, but if you divide 21 million BTC among the world’s 8 billion people, each person could still claim about 260,000 satoshis. Today, that’s only around $250–300. And remember: you can buy Bitcoin in fractions — even 1 satoshi (right now worth less than a cent).
⚖️ The key point is not whether there will be “enough” for everyone. Bitcoin will circulate both as money and as an asset. There will always be buyers and sellers. The real question is whether you recognize that buying Bitcoin isn’t about getting in — it’s about getting out of a money system that constantly loses value.
🍦 Fiat currency is like an ice cream cone melting in your pocket: every year it loses around 10% of its value. That’s why it feels like “everything is more expensive.” In truth, it’s not that everything costs more — it’s that your money is worth less.
🏠 A concrete example: in spring 2023, 0.1 BTC (10 million sats) could buy 1 m² of new apartment space here. Today, the same 0.1 BTC buys 3 m². Back then, you needed 10 BTC for a 100 m² apartment — today you need only 2.5 BTC. When you price in Bitcoin, prices don’t rise year after year — they fall.
