$13K of value, and counting.
If you're speaking of stock dilution, there is a hard-cap on the number of BTC in the wild and a hard-coded granularity (as I understand it) where a satoshi is a hundred millionth of a Bitcoin.
It's a bit like buying one pen out of a very large pack of pens. You don't own the pack if you only buy one.
I incorporate with 1,000,000,000 shares of stock. I sell 20 shares of stock to my good friend for $50. Is my company now worth 2.5 billion dollars?
The answer to this worry is that the value of the good (bitcoins or stock shares, or anything else) is reliable in proportion to the total trading volume, not in proportion to the amount one person typically buys in a single transaction, or even the amount that one eccentric rich guy bought that one time when he was drunk.
And how exactly will it become more prevalent when it can't be used for transactions.
Just like Gold, coloured beads, or stocks
> can't be used for transactions.
Gold is a pain to use for transactions, and so are shares, but they still store value and people continue to speculate on their future worth?
BTC in the absence of transactions has not tie-back to anything.
All other fiat currencies have some fundamental value. In the past they were backed by gold. Most common today, you have to pay your taxes using them, which means for example everybody who owes US taxes needs USD.
That makes no sense. If the market were really 'screaming there is no actual value', the price would be around $0, not $14K.
