That's right — Bitcoin is often called "the hardest asset in the universe" because of its absolute scarcity and resistance to inflation. Here’s why:
1. Fixed Supply: Only 21 million BTC will ever exist. No central authority can change that.
2. Predictable Issuance: New bitcoins are minted on a strict schedule via mining, with halving events every ~4 years that reduce the block reward.
3. Decentralization: It's maintained by a global, distributed network of nodes and miners, making it resilient to control or manipulation.
4. Censorship Resistance: No one can stop transactions or confiscate your Bitcoin without access to your private keys.
5. Portability & Divisibility: It can be stored in your head (as a seed phrase) or sent globally in minutes, divided down to 1 satoshi (0.00000001 BTC).
6. Proof-of-Work Security: The energy-intensive mining process underpins its security and fairness.
These qualities make Bitcoin not just "digital gold," but something fundamentally harder and more incorruptible than any commodity or fiat currency.
