A terrifying and interesting metric: By 2050 there will only be 0.002 BTC left for each person.

Here is a pretty interesting metric, the bitcoin supply per person metric, which shows how much bitcoin each person in this world would own if they would divide the total bitcoin supply by the (projected) total population. And as we all know the population will still be increasing until and so will be the Bitcoin supply, albeit at different rates.

As we can see from this graph now. On the upper bar we have the total population which will be increasing by about 22% to 9.74 billion (mostly from African countries). Below that we have the increase in Bitcoin supply which is obviously slower due to the halvings happening. The bitcoin supply will only increase 9% over the same period.

The third graph shows how the Supply per Person metric is decreasing and really seems to have peaked. Also you should keep in mind that this is just a theoretical supply and obviously a lot of entities just hold way way more BTC. Also as mentioned from Sam Rule on twitter, 25% of the whole Bitcoin supply is lost anyway so you can decrease this metric by even more. (chart related to that is also on his twitter)

This is a interesting, fun and also terrifying metric visualizing how limited the Bitcoin supply actually is and how well you could be off with the amount you would think is a little right now.
