"Something"

Let me stop you right there

Bitcoin is not some thing. The accounting units don't exist even in computer memory - only the block chain & UTXOs exist. When you "send" me 5 sats (pretending this is on-chain) you are creating a new UTXO and invalidating the old. So there is no "thing" which is sent, or scarce, or immune to counterfeit.

The entire system is what’s scarce and immune to counterfeit.

As well as the blockspace and the energy expended to mine it
