Story time, for any people who want to hear my story of an asset similar to bitcoin

When I think of bitcoin, I think of a game called Runescape. I believe this comparison has been drawn before, but I'll tell it again in case it hasn't. Runescape is an old medieval clicker game from 2001. Over 20 years ago they released items called 'partyhats' and 'christmas crackers', along with many other holiday items but these are the most important ones.

One major change the developers made to the game was discontinuing the production of new partyhats and christmas crackers in the future, effectively making a finite number of the items that can exist.

At first, the prices of these hats went up slightly, and were worth a few million coins a piece, as players collected them and realised what they could be worth some day. But, the price of 'gear', items used to kill bosses, was much more expensive than the hats for a long time because players couldn't see the full extent of what the hats would be worth some day. Then, fast forward over 20 years and the hats are worth billions of gold coins in game. And the only thing that is expensive enough to be able to buy these partyhats are other partyhats, making them their own currency.

I see drastic similarities between partyhats and BTC in the long run. Because if you look at things like 'equities' right now, they can be compared to 'gear' back when having more gear in the game let you make more money. Equities provide a more stable and reliable APR, but only for the time being. But, over time I fully believe that equities will pale in comparison to what BTC will be worth and BTC will become its own currency that is either used to back government currencies or is used only by the richest of the rich to purchase large scale trades, assuming they can get enough of it!

The chart provided shows only the first few years of price scaling of partyhats, up until 2006. But if you look up Runescape 3 partyhat prices, you will see they are each worth 10's of billions of gold pieces (thousands of USD).

TLDR; number go brr. HODL forever!!
