So, if I understand this well, Bitcoin is supposed to become more and more like... digital gold? Rare and difficult to mind. Bitcoin's ascent is like to progressing through a series of increasingly difficult levels in a popular online game.

Here's a paradox for you to ponder, though: if Bitcoin's greatest virtue is its scarcity, then wouldn't it also reduce the currency's practical utility? Isn't it strange that you linked Bitcoin to the inability to finance wars? Wouldn't the resources of each country matter more than any one currency when planning a war?
