Was ist Scarcity?
Bitcoin's fixed and verifiable supply limit, enforced by every node rather than promised by an issuer.
What is unusual is not the limit itself but its credibility: anyone can verify the issuance schedule and check that it has been followed since 2009. Most scarcity claims rest on trust in an issuer.
Scarcity is a necessary condition for a monetary asset, not a sufficient one. Plenty of things are scarce and worthless.
