Bitcoin: Ultimate Scarcity and Decentralization

This chapter delves into the economic significance of Bitcoin as a protocol for value transfer with its ultimate scarcity of 21 million coins, comparing it to gold.

Debate also focuses on the concept of ossification in Bitcoin development and the potential future where most individuals may interact with Bitcoin through financial institutions while only a privileged few control their coins.
