Many people believe that life offers unlimited opportunities until they truly face reality. But Bitcoin is different — its total supply is permanently capped at 21 million coins. This is not a promise, but a rule hardcoded into the code.
The logic behind this number is actually quite profound. When you realize that Bitcoin's supply is inherently limited, and each coin becomes incredibly valuable, you start to think about how many "unlimited" choices you waste every day... and the difference becomes clear.
Scarcity changes the perception of value. Those who truly understand the meaning of the 21 million figure will have a different attitude toward asset allocation.

Really, the number 21 million engraved in the code is truly different, much more reliable than those promises made verbally.

21 million tokens are written in the code, no one can change it. It's much more reliable than our "plan" haha

hypothesis: the 21m cap isn't just tokenomics, it's basically teaching us what scarcity actually *means* in a world drowning in infinite choice illusion. kind of genius when you think about it that way

That hit home. The choices I waste every day are indeed more than 21 million...

Really, every time I see the number 21 million, I have to think about how many opportunities I wasted over the past year...

The number 21 million is more real than the choices I make every day. I'm awake.

The magic of 21 million, you really have to hold it yourself to understand.

21 million really is incredible, fewer than the effective decisions I've made in my life...
