What is the price of the air you breathe? Abundance in money creates scarcity...Scarcity in money creates abundance. or to use in terms that you stated above.... "Relative" to Bitcoin, prices will decline towards zero. "Relative" to fiat, prices will rise.

“Trend towards zero” doesn’t necessarily mean they will certainly reach zero.
To use air as an example of abundance, no technology can ever make a scarce good abundant, it can only change the relative scarcity of one good compared to another. The relative scarcity of Bitcoin increasing compared to everything else is a false assumption for two reasons:
1. It assumes that demand for money as a percentage of wealth does not decrease, but an increase in individual wealth causes demand for money to decrease.
2. It assumes that the market will not demand substitute currencies, but scarcity of blockspace increases demand for other currencies.
