Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins clashes with a growing global population, now 8 billion and projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Dividing Bitcoin among everyone today yields just 0.002625 BTC per person, shrinking further as the population expands. Worse, 95% of Bitcoin is controlled by the top 5% of holders, deepening inequality.
While Bitcoin promises decentralization, its scarcity favors early adopters and large holders, risking it becoming exclusive rather than equitable.
