its clearly not infinite, it is capped, intentionally

But there is always more of it every 10 minutes. It’s like a hotel that adds a floor every 10 minutes, forever.

It’s a unique type of scarcity that is conditional. It’s more psychological than actual.

Obviously, I’m being philosophical here. I understand your point. But it’s just fascinating how we humans value things.

Not quite — it’s more like a hotel that keeps getting more popular. Every so often, it adds a new floor, but no one’s allowed to stay on the old floors anymore. All the guests have to cram into the newest floor — it’s strictly penthouse living, 10 minutes at a time.

Capped Bitcoin blocksizes are inverse Monero tail emission. One tends to infinity over time capped at a consrant rate. The other tends to 0 over time also limited to a fixed amount.

Never thought about it this way. It's a beauty.
