Why might most people never own 1 Bitcoin?
The total supply of Bitcoin is fixed at 21 million. Currently, about 19.9 million have been mined, but between 3 million to 5 million may be permanently lost. In reality, there are only about 16 million Bitcoins in circulation, with the remaining 1.1 million yet to be mined.
The distribution of Bitcoin is very uneven. Satoshi Nakamoto, the top ten holders, various institutions, listed companies, governments, and private companies hold a significant amount of Bitcoin.
Currently, about 3.1 million Bitcoins have been permanently removed from circulation. There are less than 6 million Bitcoins available for distribution among 8 billion people, meaning that only 1 in every 1,333 people can own 1 Bitcoin.
As of now, there are only about 839,839 addresses that hold 1 or more Bitcoins, while over 90% of wallets hold less than 0.1 Bitcoin. Therefore, most people may never own 1 Bitcoin. The scarcity of Bitcoin leads to increasing difficulty in obtaining it, and it is advised to act early, even if purchasing a small amount of Bitcoin, to secure a place in future wealth growth. Whether for retirement or inheritance, choosing Bitcoin is a good option.
