CEXs running out of bitcoin to sell.
What happens when this number depletes to 0?
I think people are not prepared for a period of prosperity. Perhaps I'm crazy, but I've come around to the expectation that more likely than not, humanity will prosper once again in the future.
If one accepts the above as true, then it makes a lot of sense to use this period of uncertainty wisely. Which is to say, to build for the future.

Poor economic conditions in the present certainly suppress our views of how prosperous our future can possibly be.
The world will be unrecognizable to us in just a few quick decades

Basic economic theory states that as the supply decreases and demand either remains the same or increases, price will increase. That increase will "bring in more bitcoin" from holders that are now willing to sell at this higher price. The higher the price, the more holders come in willing to sell. Eventually the price stabilizes at an equilibrium (great movie BTW)
That being said, this next supply shock / demand shock that seems destined to happen post halving is very interesting to us. It will be a first in human history. A point where the entire globe (well not everyone but most with money) has access to trade a good without anyone able to stop it, halt trading or whatever coupled with a completely fixed supply. This has never happened before. Ever.
Will the price just keep Mooning? $100k per bitcoin? $1m? $10m? $100m? Literally no one knows as there is no previous data to estimate from. It should be quite interesting!
