The Simplest Bitcoin Book Ever Written
Bitcoin is scarce.
It has a hard cap of 21,000,000.
There will never be more.
Code is law here.*
* While it is 'technically' possible to change the code, Satoshi's
genius prevents that, since increasing (inflating) the supply
would only serve to decrease the value of all bitcoin in
circulation. This therefore incentivizes everyone to implicitly
agree to maintain the 21,000,000 hard cap supply.
