Deep dives

The importance of a fixed supply in Bitcoin

Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million is crucial for its value. This ensures that the currency cannot be debased like fiat currencies. While miners and nodes play important roles in the Bitcoin network, it is ultimately the individual participants who enforce the fixed supply. By saving in Bitcoin and not accepting copies or alternative cryptocurrencies, participants maintain the scarcity and value of the original Bitcoin.
