So BTC will continue to be mined until about 2140, when all 21 million are finished. But imagine if there were 21 trillion bitcoins and it finished in say the year 9140, it actually wouldn't make any difference to us than 21 million, because the inflation rate would still be the same. I think the current bitcoin inflation rate is 1.3 percent or whatever. So just imagine if there were 21 trillion bitcoins and 18,648,168 BTC were currently in circulation, do you think people would still say you know there will only ever be 21 trillion bitcoins.... i dont think so. But it would be the same as saying there's only 21 million. Maybe in the year 2130 people can say that when there's only 10 years left but for us who are alive now, why should million or trillion matter. Inflation rate and circulating supply would still be the same.... any thoughts?
I know you want to refer to scarcity at main but you have generated a huge difference between 21million and 21 trillion because the algorithm changes with normal increase or decrease in supply and it will not remain Bitcoin any more.The inflation rate was kept in mind while making Bitcoin which makes it deflationary by mining all the coins by 2140 and prices will be increasing by that time and miners will earn fees over that 21million coins(as that's not possible due to lost bitcoins forever) and block rewards or halving will not occur.So it makes sense and we know how the system will work but for 21 trillion you don't know the system working or when actuall point of scarcity will arise with that.
