t seems silly to some people that one bitcoin can be worth hundreds of dollars.
What makes bitcoins valuable?
Bitcoins are scarce and useful.
Let’s look to gold as an example currency. There is a limited amount of gold on earth.
As new gold is mined, there is always less and less gold left and it becomes harder and more expensive to find and mine.
The same is true with Bitcoin.
There are only 21 million Bitcoin, and as time goes on, they become harder and harder to mine.
