In 2008, someone (or some group) going by Satoshi Nakamoto published a nine-page whitepaper that would challenge the entire global monetary system. The core idea was radical in its simplicity: a fixed supply of 21 million coins. No central bank. No printing press. No one gets to change the rules.
For centuries, governments have debased currencies whenever it became politically convenient. Roman emperors clipped coins. Modern central banks print trillions. The result is always the same: the people who hold the currency lose purchasing power while those closest to the money printer benefit. Satoshi saw this pattern and built the exit.
This song is about that number. 21 million. It cannot be changed, inflated, or manipulated. In a world of infinite money printing, a hard cap is the most rebellious idea imaginable.
