Probably too much of a broad stroke to be dividing bitcoin by the earth’s entire population because that is not a real world use case. If anything you would start with numbers that assume a basic kind of independence status, ie old enough to make purchasing decisions that facilitate some sort of “lifestyle.” How many 2 year olds need to be included in the “number” is debatable. I get that there is a point to be made about scarcity and rounding off the world’s population to the nearest billion makes for easy math but the real distribution is likely quite a bit higher.

The population of the earth will likely pass 12 billion before it levels out do to resource scarcity (we already produce enough food to feed 12 billion people a year but USA wastes about half of that food destroying it to keep the prices high so that multinational corporations can profit. Dividing Bitcoin between the current world population is an underestimate on the number of people that could potentially be using it in future
