I want to make a correction to this article. Bitcoin is not scarce. Bitcoin is limited, finite.

21 million is not scarce.

21 quadrillion is not scarce.

Its just we cant make more, thats the important part.

The number could have been larger or smaller, it doesnt matter. It is technically smaller now.

or what ever the number of satoshis are, quintillion. lol

But there's infinite demand so any limited supply is scarcity

What do you mean infitine demand? Demand is also finite.

If you measure demand in dollars it's infinite for many assets because dollars are freely printed by moving bits around in bank computer networks so there are unlimited dollars

If you measure demand in people it's potentially infinite for strong assets like Bitcoin because we don't really know for sure if people will ever stop being born

But people die too, remember.

Growth overall as long as there are more planets

Good distinction
