Silver operates on supply-demand mechanics—when prices rise, miners ramp up production, which inevitably floods the market and corrects the price back downward. It's a self-regulating cycle.
Bitcoin doesn't follow this playbook. When the price surges, there's no automatic supply response to push it back. The price simply moves up, governed by market sentiment and adoption rather than production constraints. That's the fundamental difference.

How long this BTC logic can last is really hard to say; sooner or later, we have to face reality.

Bitcoin is truly amazing in this aspect. The supply is firmly capped and not moving at all, relying entirely on sentiment and faith to soar.

Bitcoin is truly exceptional in this regard, completely unaffected by production constraints... The self-regulating logic of silver doesn't apply at all here in BTC.

Bitcoin is truly exceptional in this regard. The silver rules don't apply to it at all. Its supply is fixed and unchangeable, so it can only rely on sentiment and faith to soar.

Bitcoin is truly unique in this aspect. No matter how cheap silver gets, it can't be mined to increase its price. Coins rely on consensus to sustain their value... This is the real scarcity, isn't it?

Damn, this is the real difference. Silver is truly stuck due to production limits, while Bitcoin is entirely driven by market sentiment.

Bitcoin's logic is truly brilliant; the automatic adjustment mechanism of silver can't really constrain it.
