In economics, value is not determined solely by quantity, but by the degree of scarcity. The rarer something is, the more valuable it becomes, and the more abundant and repetitive it is, the less important it is and the easier it is to replace.
And this principle applies not only to assets like gold or dollars but encompasses everything of value in our lives, from products and services to people.
In times of inflation and rising prices, an abundance of money is no longer a guarantee of maintaining purchasing power; rather, true scarcity has become the safe haven.
This is why Bitcoin has outperformed gold and other traditional assets, because it is a scarce asset by nature, limited to a total of no more than 21 million units, which cannot be printed or controlled by governments.
And every time more paper currency is pumped into the economy, the strength of Bitcoin increases... because it represents the exact opposite: stability, scarcity, and transparency.
But this concept does not stop with money alone; it extends to the world of skills and work.
In today's job market, those who possess a rare and specialized skill and continuously develop it, respect their time, and learn regularly are always in a position of strength and are difficult to replace.
As for those who settle for an average level of skill or stop learning, they will find themselves in the replacement cycle over time.
Scarcity in skill means you are not competing on price, but on value.
To be chosen by people is not because you are the cheapest, but because you are the most deserving, and this is what makes the real difference in income, status, and influence.
Just as the value of Bitcoin has risen due to its scarcity and stability, the value of a person increases when they are rare in their thinking, skills, and commitment to what others do not adhere to.
