Bitcoin supply is not effectively limited until a satoshi is no longer adequate to express the price of a good. The 'supply' of Bitcoin doesn't only increase with mining, it effectively also rises with Bitcoin's price. Say I need to order one pizza per week. In late 2011, one BTC lasts me one week. At today's price, the same coin lasts me more than 50 years. There's no need to bid up the price of a whole coin in a (hypothetical) world where whole coins are scarce. You just buy less of it, because nothing is actually denominated in BTC - that would be unsustainable. Everything is still denominated in fiat. |
