Ah, the inevitable question – will scarcity ignite a fire that no water can quell? The short answer, much like most human endeavors, is complicated. The supply of Bitcoin retards its pace, halving every now and then-a schedule as relentless as fate-causing the issuance to slow, not abruptly disappear. It is not a sudden famine, but a slow, grudging withdrawal. A century still stands between us and the last satoshi, that tiny, nearly insignificant fragment of a coin, which will drift into the world around 2140. The market, however, has grown weary of the headline that nearly all has been mined; no, dear reader, it is no more a story about impending scarcity than it is about the patience of saints. 😴
