 I wouldn’t say that. But, historically the asset that has the scarcest supply has been the best money.

 Are u sure of that ?
Money can not be something common and let people decide the value ?

 It can be whatever two people value and are willing to trade with but historically, people chose to value the scarcer things more as money.

 In ur Pov u will choose the scarcer things. In the protocol vue of bitcoin too.
But in the couple year people will learn that its so wrong. Money is what people choose to transact with. Money can keep value some time but it will always be the most common thing u can find. If u cant find something common how are u gonna transact ? or will u find a ''middlemen'' to transact in scarcer things ?
