But hey, everyone's a dreamer as they say.
1. Each of those 21 million (max) Bitcoins is worth a fair bit more now than it was this time last year. Something like a factor of 40. So the absolute amount in circulation isn't really relevant.

2. Miners get paid transaction fees as well as block rewards.
