That's inevitable, if it ain't already the most scarce asset. At some point in the future, the inflation rate will drop to 0; perhaps even lower than that, because of lost bitcoins.
But, it's not the scarcity, alone, that's making it valuable. It's the inflation rate's predictability. With a quick gettxoutsetinfo, there are about 19,110,092 BTC. Each block increases the supply by 6.25 BTC, and a year is equivalent to about 52,500 blocks, which increase the supply by 328,125 BTC. Therefore, the annual inflation rate (of the last 52,500 blocks) is (328,125/19,110,092)*100 = ~1.71%. And I can do this for any year.
Good luck on finding another asset with such characteristic.
actually doge will never reach 0% inflation but it gets lower % wise every year.
ie
year 1 x doge
year 2 2x doge 100% inflation
year 3 3x doge 50% inflation
year 4 4x doge. 33% inflation
year 5 5x doge. 25% inflation
year 6 6x doge. 20% inflation
…
…
…
year 10 10x doge
year 11 11x doge 10% inflation
.

.
year 25 25x doge
year 26 26x doge 4% inflation
.

year 50 50x doge
year 51 51x doge 2% inflation
.
.
.
year 100 100x doge
year 101 101x doge 1% inflation
.
.
.
year 200 200x doge
year 201 201x doge 0.5% inflation
I would argue that is better than btc
I would argue that in 50 years people will see this and btc could be in trouble.
I would argue that LN network may make it worse and kill off mining of btc.
as it is btc is not pure pow it is pow and pos mix due to LN network.
and yeah I know LN means lightening network and i don’t need to say LN network.
Now do I think the value of btc ever exceeds the value of gold maybe.
but if I were five years old and not 65 years old I would want both BTC and Doge
not just Btc
not just Doge.
I would also take silver as I prefer it over gold.
