Is there a fixed supply of bitcoins around the wolrd or is it printable like $?
There ia a fix volume of supply, there is actually 21$ bitcoin in total.. We are just in 16$ million mark and there are 5M$ still to be mined. Since the whole supply is not yet obtained, the value is expected to rise. Bitcoin is an ever growing coin. Its actually the law of supply and demand, because the demand is increasing and the supply is becoming limited the value will sure increase and pump.
