I am happy that you figured this out by yourself, and if I am asked, I would say that the 21 million BTC total supply is even too much, the lower it is, the more the law of economics on demand and supply over the price would be enforced. The goal of the 21 million supply was to create scarcity, but till now, the effect has never been felt because you can easily get your Bitcoin today. I wonder where the price would have been if it were difficult to get Bitcoin and everyone held on to their Bitcoin.
That will naturally create more value!
The future scarcity is one of the reasons the price is being pushed.
People are aware that they are getting cheaper because unlike Fiat it can't be printed from
thin air.
Lower doesn't mean much.
Bitcoin strength isn't just because it's supply is limited but it's the closest thing we have to true decentralization.
