#CryptoVerse 4: Bitcoin's Economic Model
Bitcoin introduced an economic model where the total supply is capped at 21 million coins, mimicking scarce resources like gold. This scarcity could potentially make Bitcoin a hedge against inflation as traditional fiat currencies can be printed without limit.
Curiosity Point: Think of Bitcoin as a digital form of gold mining. Instead of physically digging into the earth, miners solve complex mathematical puzzles to "mine" new bitcoins, adding them to the circulating supply until the cap is reached.
