Deep dives

The Impact and Scarcity of Bitcoin

Bitcoin is recognized as a superior asset due to its scarcity, which sets it apart from traditional assets like gold or stocks. Unlike gold or iPhones, the supply of Bitcoin cannot be increased, regardless of demand, making it a unique investment opportunity. This intrinsic scarcity means that if demand for Bitcoin rises, the price must eventually increase because the existing supply is finite. As a result, investing in Bitcoin becomes a strategic decision for those looking to secure a hard asset that is resistant to inflationary pressures.
