About this episode
21 million is what makes Bitcoin work — but where did the number come from? Satoshi was too methodical with everything else for us to assume it was arbitrary. In this episode of Love & Hard Money, Brian walks through why mathematical scarcity is different from every other kind of scarcity we've ever had, why our current payment system is essentially a leaky balloon with an evil clown airbrushed on it, and why the volatility you see in Bitcoin is caused by the exact same people who don't understand it yet.
Then he makes his case for why Satoshi chose 21 million — a hilarious theory that is either completely ridiculous or one the most important footnotes in monetary history. It just might be improbable enough to be true. You'll have to decide for yourself.
