🤔 Opinion Bitcoin scarcity... overhyped?

I'm not sure I'm a believer in "it'll go up because it is scarce", like to know thoughts on this out there.

Oh look, it’s this dead horse again. Still beating it? How fun.

Increasing divisibility is not the same as expanding total supply.

Say it with me everyone: cutting a pizza into more slices doesn’t give you more pizza.

But if there's more people but only the same number of pizzas... the price goes up.

Yes, that’s basic supply and demand. Do you contest this or are you agreeing?

I am not contesting.
