Is Bitcoin too Expensive?

If you've been following Bitcoin’s journey over the years, you've likely heard countless people say, “Bitcoin is too expensive.” It’s usually followed by, “I’ll wait for it to come back down” or “What’s the next Bitcoin?” 

To anyone who feels that way today, here’s my answer: “Don’t wait.” And, “There is no next Bitcoin.”

Bitcoin's value growth can make its current price—now over $88,000 USD—seem daunting. But, thinking of Bitcoin solely in terms of its full price may lead you to miss the point entirely. Think of Bitcoin as you would a whole pizza; no one’s asking you to buy the whole pie. You can simply buy a slice—or even a crumb.

So, Is the Bitcoin Boat Gone?

Not at all. And here’s why.

Bitcoin’s total supply will never exceed 21 million. Compare that to our world’s population of 8 billion people, and here’s what it means:

21 million divided by 8 billion gives us 0.002625 Bitcoin per person. At today’s price, that’s around 262,500 Satoshis, or fractions of a Bitcoin—currently valued at around $232 USD. And if we factor in the 4 million Bitcoins already lost or irretrievable, that fraction per person shrinks even more, making each unit of Bitcoin even more scarce.

Why Bitcoin's Scarcity Matters

While fiat currencies have no cap on issuance, Bitcoin’s supply is strictly limited by code. And, unlike many other investments, the real challenge isn’t how much Bitcoin you hold—it’s how securely you can hold it for the long term.

Bitcoin’s scarcity breaks down like this:

1. Total supply cap: 21 million bitcoin, with millions likely lost forever.

2. Remaining coins to be mined: Approximately 1.2 million, which will take over a century to reach completion.

So if you think of it this way: even securing just a small fraction of Bitcoin gives you access to one of the scarcest assets in the world. In fact, only 15,237 Satoshis per person remain to be mined until 2138. That’s the equivalent of about $13.50 at today’s prices.

Why You’re Not “Too Late”

Bitcoin’s timeline doesn’t measure “early” or “late.” It’s simply “early” and “earlier.” Yes, the very first adopters may see remarkable returns, but that’s no reason to delay your own journey. Bitcoin’s volatility may make it appear risky in the short term, but over time it’s shown resilience and a tendency toward long-term appreciation. In the same way that gold has been used for centuries, Bitcoin is becoming a modern, decentralized form of savings.

If you view Bitcoin not as a gamble, but as a secure place for your savings, you’re already on the right track.
