Influencers stress BTC's scarcity in light of gold-filled asteroid news
Bitcoin maximalists JAN3 CEO Samson Mow and trader Willy Woo have stepped up with a Bitcoin comment as the news about an asteroid with a tremendous amount of gold in it has been published.
This asteroid is called Psyche 16, and it contains gold reserves valued at approximately $70 quintillion. “That's enough to make everyone on Earth billionaires,” a post cited by Mow says.
The post does not mention the fact that if this amount of gold hits the market, all gold will become worthless because of the suddenly expanded supply. Satoshi ally and CEO of Blockstream Adam Back made that assertion in a comment to Mow’s post.
Besides, unlike gold, Mow hints, Bitcoin remains limited to 21 million coins no matter what, and it can only be mined through computing operations.
“There is zero #Bitcoin on Psyche 16,” Mow said.

Willy Woo stated a similar thing: “2045 is the estimated timeline for when large scale mining of asteroids happens. Unfortunately they didn’t find any bitcoins on this rock.”
