Bitcoin’s Mathematical Monetary Policy Is Far More Predictable Than Gold and ...
This past April, records show that 19 million bitcoins have been mined into existence and 133 days later, there are 1.88 million bitcoins left to mint today. The network’s block subsidy halving is expected to occur on or around April 20, 2024, as there are less than 91,000 bitcoins left to mine until that point. While Bitcoin’s inflation rate per annum is 1.73% today, after the halving in 2024, the crypto asset’s yearly inflation rate will be down to 1.1%.

A research firm’s head recently claimed Bitcoin’s capped supply could be changed. Bitcoin’s (BTC) price rise has brought all sorts of comments out of the woodwork. Although many carry a bullish tint, some folks still doubt crypto as a new store of value class. David Rosenberg, the chief economist and strategist, as well as president, of the firm Rosenberg Research & Associates, recently described gold’s supply as more predictable than Bitcoin’s."Everybody seems to believe that we're going to get to that 21 million cap on the supply constraint, but there's really nothing in the protocol to....
Most people consider both gold currency and Bitcoin to be deflationary currencies, given their fixed supplies. In the long run, this assumption mostly is true; once all the gold and Bitcoin has been mined, their supplies cannot be expanded to keep track with demand. As a result, prices will gradually fall as the fixed supplies of the two currencies become more valuable. However, during the short run, both currencies are capable of growing in supply far beyond their demand. Gold currency is not as prone to such supply surpluses, though, as gold can be funneled into industry when the supply....
Gold prices have been steadily tumbling in the past few weeks, more so recently after the Chinese reserves data revealed a smaller than expected portion of gold reserves. Gold has been treated as a hedge against inflation, typically gaining in value also when investors are seeking lower-yielding returns from safe-havens. This time around, even with all the monetary policy easing going on among central banks and the prospect of another downturn in inflation, gold prices have failed to rally. Some financial market experts say that gold prices might not see much upside anytime soon since....
