Enter Bitcoin, which Satoshi Nakamoto conceptualized as a modern, digital evolution of gold’s best qualities — scarcity, permanence, and incorruptibility — but minus human folly.

Its scarcity is mathematically fixed: a maximum of 21 million coins, with predictable halvings programmed into its protocol, ensuring supply is decalcified and tamper-proof.
