We are so damn early, take the chance.

How surprising, there isn't even one Bitcoin per person!

How many BTC or satoshis on average can each human being dream of owning? This is a question worth asking, especially since entering the crypto scene late can make owning a piece of Satoshi Nakamoto's coin nearly impossible.

Rounding the figures, there are currently around 8 billion inhabitants on planet Earth. In total, in the next century, there will be only 21 million BTC potentially in circulation. However, with the coins held by Satoshi Nakamoto (+1 million BTC) and the tokens that could very well be lost (approximately 30-35% of the current supply), the available supply significantly diminishes.

As assessed by the Twitter account Bitcoin Apex, if we divide the total available BTC by the global population, it would amount to 14.5 BTC per 8,000 people. That's less than one BTC per 1,000 people. This proves that even currently, in the midst of an ongoing crypto adoption process, owning even a few satoshis is already of some urgency.

How much BTC should one own? Although this depends on numerous factors and there's no perfect number, it's reasonable to assume that owning as much as possible could be beneficial in the future, especially for those who are strong believers in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.

Without accounting for the max supply of BTC minus lost or permanently inactive tokens, there are 262,500 satoshis per person at most, equivalent to 0.002625 BTC per person. At the current price, this represents an investment of $77.09 to "acquire" the promised share of BTC.

While it's currently possible to possess our own share or even someone else's, the situation could change in the future. Indeed, if large wallets (individual or institutional) or even countries and international entities suddenly join in, we could bid farewell to our share of BTC. That's right: there will never be enough BTC to satisfy everyone's desires.

The buzzword is: Scarcity.

It creates higher demand relative to supply, driving up the price.

To provide context, the well-known "BTC Pizza Day," which commemorates the purchase of two pizzas with 10,000 BTC, could very well signify a positive evolution of this asset. In the future, it might not be surprising to hear that a $30,000 car was bought with BTC and to mock the transaction. This is the case currently when discussing the purchase of two pizzas for nearly $300 million (at the current BTC price). Yet, at that time, those 10,000 tokens were worth almost nothing. Thus, while $30 invested back then equate to millions today, this could certainly repeat itself in the future.

Moral of the story: as is often said, it's never too late to mend.
