Bitcoin's Contribution: Finite Money Supply
Satoshi's biggest contribution to digital currency was demanding a finite money supply, which allowed him to build Bitcoin while other projects like B-Money remained just ideas. By making this demand, Satoshi created a consensus network asking price for Bitcoin issuance, ensuring users didn't have independent bids. This layer zero market helped issue the initial supply of Bitcoin to be distributed, while layer one enabled transaction settlement. Bitcoin's strong consumer protections and decentralized market structure make it unique.
