Shows how Bitcoin closes gold's one remaining flaw, elastic supply, with absolute scarcity. Covers the 21 million cap and how full nodes enforce it, the halving schedule, and the difficulty adjustment that turns rising demand into more security instead of more coins.
Course 3 ended on gold's one remaining flaw, elastic supply. This course shows how Bitcoin closes that gap with the breakthrough of absolute scarcity, a provably finite, perfectly inelastic supply. I cover the 21 million cap and how it is enforced by every node, not by a promise, the issuance and halving schedule, from 50 BTC per block in 2009 to 3.125 BTC today, how Bitcoin's stock to flow rises toward infinity, and the difficulty adjustment that makes a rising price increase security rather than supply, making Bitcoin the hardest money ever invented.
This is educational content, not financial advice. Figures are current as of September 2026, inside the 2024 to 2028 halving era at a 3.125 BTC block subsidy.
