My point is there will never be a supply shortage of fiat or bitcoin (as its infinitely divisible) so why do people state the 21 million hard cap is of any benefit.
It's an important benefit:
On classic currency supply is infinite. Which means that government and people might try to raise the total amount of the currency while not creating the wealth corresponding. So the currency loses parts of what's it's worth.
On bitcoin, currency is 21 million and that's all. That means that if total wealth raises, value of each bitcoin raises too.
BUT and that's why it's so incredibly great, each bitcoin can be divided indifinitely so there is no way we lack of coins at one point contrary to cash if there was a limited amount.
See how it's all in all a freaking win win situation? ^^
