This is the number of "real bitcoin" but please consider
how  fractional-reserve can generate inflation:

thank you for your article gbianchi
i have read your reeeeeeeeeally good article in fractional reserve...

very interesting...

but the fractional reserve can increase the transaction and the total amount of moved bitcoin,
but not the number of bitcoin who are mined!!!




true. "Mined bitcoin" are know number (actually 13.8M) but "bitcoin in curculation"
are inflationed by exchange use of fractional-reserve.

The problem is that bitcoin in circulation make the price !


It won´t be much of a problem if and when some real volume comes in. Then they´ll presumably have to cover. With such a tiny float BTC could move really fast.


sure ? take a look at this
