When production costs keep collapsing toward nothing, here's what becomes genuinely rare: digital scarcity. That's the real moment bitcoin stops being a speculative bet and becomes what it actually is—the only asset in a world of infinite supply with a hard cap on quantity.

In simple terms, it's the scarcity of Bitcoin that makes it a hard currency; all those other infinitely inflationary assets are pointless.

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but the problem is that most people still treat cryptocurrencies as gambling tools... The concept of scarcity needs to be understood by the market itself.

In simple terms, scarcity is the key. The value of Bitcoin is no longer just gambling.

Now I understand why Bitcoin is not a bubble; scarcity is the key.

This logic has some substance. Scarcity is indeed valuable, but can Bitcoin really hold its value?

ngl When production costs approach zero, scarcity is truly scarce. I really get this point.

Honestly, I've heard this logic too many times. Can it really be achieved?

The reality is, anything can be copied for free, but only limited things are valuable. The logic behind Bitcoin should have been understood long ago.

Oh, so this is the true nature of Bitcoin—scarcity is the key.

BTC ETH Buy, buy, buy at such a low market cap. Everyone buys together. The consensus on any coin will increase in value. Bitcoin relies on everyone's consensus. The lower the market cap, the greater the opportunity. Little bee, honey is very sweet and makes people have a good memory. It is a hardworking little bee. Where are the flowers? The little bee goes there. It represents beauty. Everyone's consensus is to buy, buy, buy. It immediately turns into 999. whales are coming soon. Still buy, buy, buy. In the future, wherever life is beautiful, go there.
