TRX Reddit post compares bitcoin satoshi scarcity with cent supply growth
A r/Bitcoin community post claims a satoshi and a cent were equally scarce twice in history and argues this will not recur. It states that new BTC supply is 0.8% and halves every four years, while M2 has grown about 6% a year, and that by late 2021 there were more cents in M2 than sats will ever exist.
