Finite resources, infinite demand. Land doesn't multiply—neither do truly scarce digital assets. When supply hits a hard cap, value becomes a function of utility and human desire. That's Economics 101.

Whoa, isn't this the same old NFT trick? Wow, now they're trying to hype up scarcity again.

hard cap on supply = game over for new entrants, ngl. seen this movie before and it doesn't always end well... remember when everyone thought their position was "safe"? margin calls don't care about your supply thesis

Scarcity is always king, which is why I will never sell my few NFTs no matter what.

Supply and demand will always be the true essence of value; nothing else matters.

Basically, it's scarcity that determines price. This old and well-known concept is only being brought up now?

Ha, basically it's just hunger marketing. People want what is limited. I now want to see how long those so-called "eternally scarce" digital assets can last...

Isn't this just the economics of scarcity? But the key question is when we'll see truly useful digital assets... Right now, a bunch of junk coins are all just playing the game of limited supply.

That's right, scarcity is always the strongest support; having more is pointless.

The supply and demand logic is even more evident on the chain, but ultimately, someone has to use it to support the price... Scarcity alone isn't enough.
