=EF=BB=BFIn Bitcoin we use the term =E2=80=9Csupply=E2=80=9C as a reference t=
o the number of coins minted. This colloquialism is commonly conflated with t=
he economic concept of supply, and then injected into a supply/demand relati=
on as if it had the same applicability. Economically supply refers to desire=
to sell, while demand refers to desire to buy.
