We should be careful of our language as stewards of early Bitcoin. Bitcoin isn’t “scarce” in the sense of scarcity as lacking.
Scarcity is a condition of a fallen world, of hunger, insufficiency, insecurity. But finitude is the mark of divine order. Creation itself is finite, counted, measured, called “good,” and given boundaries by God.
Scarcity reflects fear and implies lacking of something. Finitude reflects design and implies completion.
Bitcoin’s supply is not an accident or a deficiency; it is a deliberate boundary that follows the way God structures creation: through limits and boundaries that make meaning possible. Infinity is God’s nature; finitude is God’s boundary. Scarcity enters only when we live as though the boundary were a curse rather than a gift.
