10 sats \ 3 replies \ @TheL0wner 23 Sep 2023 \ on: Why does everyone think Bitcoin's supply is fixed? bitcoin
the supply is "fixed" in 2 ways. the lifetime maximum btc and in that the issuance per block is known beforehand and purely programmatic.
Yes but it can't be called "anti-inflationary" as of today because new btc are generated every 10 minutes. It's like the gov printing new cash every 10 minutes. Anti-inflationary will be when the 21m supply is reached.

you asked why it is said to have a fixed supply, I answered.
I agree with your statement on btc as anti-inflationary. Stable, predictable inflation with an eventual endpoint (and far sooner point of near irrelevance) is the best that could be said.
