Is there enough Bitcoin?

Perhaps one of the most difficult things for someone new to Bitcoin is the 21 million supply limit of Bitcoin. How will only 21 million Bitcoin ever be enough for the entire world? It’s a fiat dollar thought pattern. And it’s a visual thing. (Plus Bitcoin is still the great unknown.) While most understand the division of a dollar into 100 units, dividing anything into 100 million units is something different. Most people that use a dollar as currency have seen what a hundred pennies look like on a table. They add up to a dollar, they can see that. Where in life would you have ever seen 100 million units of anything? Other than the sand on the beach if one happens to think that through.

Another part of this is some don’t understand that the 100 million sats per Bitcoin is just one division. We’re only on the first division, officially. The shadowy super coders on the lightning network are building on the next division. Then there are some who think that dividing it is the same as a stock split. It’s not. They’re creating additional stocks that then trade as individual entities. There is no creation of extra, or more, Bitcoin. Think pizza. You can cut it into 3, 6, or even 27 slices but there’s still only one pizza. The same thing can be done with Bitcoin. We’re only on the first divide. The great news is there’s plenty enough Bitcoin for the entire planet.

People will figure this out. It needs to be explained in a form they can easily relate to.
