Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" and over the last 15 years, it has become the best-performing asset in the world. But buying BTC is not just about following the hype. There are fundamental reasons that make many individuals and institutions start to take it seriously.
1. The Inevitable Scarcity BTC has a maximum supply of 21 million coins. It cannot be printed again, and it cannot be tampered with by governments. The rules are in the code and executed by thousands of computers around the world. Compare this to fiat currencies, which can be increased at any time through monetary policy. When something is scarce and demand rises, prices tend to go up. This is the most basic law of economics. Gold is scarce because of its physical properties, BTC is scarce because of mathematics.
