☄️ “Asteroid Psyche 16 contains gold worth $700 quintillion — enough to make everyone on Earth a billionaire!”
Sounds exciting, but it’s misleading. If we suddenly had access to that much gold, its value would collapse. When supply floods the market, scarcity disappears — and so does price.
That’s the key insight: value depends on scarcity. This is exactly why Bitcoin matters. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is engineered to be scarce — and in economics, scarcity drives value.
