How do they intend to do that? And is creating artificial scarcity a good action in a system that advocates sanity and transparency?

As I wait for your probable answers to that, I strongly object to your request, because Bitcoin should be allowed to thrive as naturally as it could. No one created the artificial scarcity when Bitcoin moved from below $1 to over $122,000, it found its demand naturally, which makes it unique from those manipulated markets.

Bitcoin is progressive itself and has proven this times again, so let the right economics rule in the Bitcoin market.
