Only 20 million people can own 1 Bitcoin each. Will you be one of them?
Many people underestimate how possible it is that at any given time, 20 million people out of the 8 billion people on Earth will each want to own 1 single Bitcoin with the intention of holding it forever.
A discussion thread. 🧵👇
1/ The scale of 20 million versus 8 billion
To put things in perspective:
‼️ 20 million is only 0.25% of the world's population.
‼️ That’s 1 in 400 people on the planet.
Does this seem so impossible to you? Not really.
Let's use an analogy:
Think 20 million hours compared to 8 billion hours:
⌛️20 million hours = approximately 2,283 years.
⌛️8 billion hours = approximately 913,242 years.
The chances that 20 million people out of 8 billion could easily share the same vision of#Bitcoinare higher than you might think.
2/ The supply factor
#Bitcoin supply is capped at 21 million. But it is estimated that around 2-3 million BTC are already lost forever.
So there are around 18-19 million#BTCleft available for the entire world.
If 20 million people each want 1 BTC, there won't be enough to go around.
3/ Why would 20 million people want 1 BTC?
Bitcoin's properties (scarcity, censorship resistance, decentralization) make it very attractive as a store of value.
✅ We have already seen rapid adoption:
✅ Over 100 million people already own #BTC.
✅ Institutions enter the market.
✅ Countries are creating strategic reserves of #Bitcoin.
It is only a matter of time before millions of people realize its value.
4/ What happens with the price?
If demand for#Bitcoinincreases while supply remains fixed, the price will increase.
If just 20 million people decide to buy 1#BTCeach and hold it forever, the supply decreases dramatically, pushing prices to unprecedented levels. 🚀
5/ A fraction counts
Here's the big picture:
Even owning 0.1#BTCputs you in a unique position. When millions of people rush to acquire Bitcoin, every fraction will count, and owning a whole#Bitcoinwill become a privilege reserved for a few.
6/ Conclusion
It’s not a stretch to think that 20 million people out of 8 billion people each hold 1 Bitcoin. The math makes sense, and Bitcoin’s scarcity ensures that its price and importance will only grow as this scenario plays out.
Just like the hours and years example, small percentages can have a massive impact. The real question: will you be one of them?
