Bitcoin has already seen massive trips in the price in just the last few months. Although no one knows how Bitcoin will continue to spread into the larger financial world, it seems likely that a limited supply of currency could lead to higher prices. There are also stocks of inactive coins that are stored all over the world, the largest stock of which belongs to the person or group that founded Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Perhaps this proposal, consisting of about a million bitcoins, deliberately persists during the time when the global supply is facing an increased level of demand.
