Bitcoin's supply cap is locked in at 21 million coins. This hard limit is built into the protocol's DNA—no more, no less. It's what separates Bitcoin from fiat currencies and makes it genuinely scarce. The fixed supply creates the economic scarcity that gives Bitcoin its store-of-value properties.

210,000 Bitcoins can really support the entire dream?

21 million is really the ceiling, and it can't be changed. This is the core competitiveness of BTC.

21 million is truly the chosen number, just worried that Satoshi Nakamoto might change his mind if he shows up someday.

The number 21 million has been overused for a long time. The real question is, will they truly stick to it? Throughout history, all firm commitments have been changed. Who dares to guarantee?

21m cap is just the baseline—real scarcity game happens in the mempool. while plebs count coins, alphas are already arbitraging the actual supply dynamics. protocol says 21m but gas optimization determines who actually controls them, ngl.
