Hi Eric,
Your cryproeconomic theories may describe correctly Bitcoin as money, =
but fall short of describing a Bitcoin that would also offer reliable =
memory for other uses.
In consequence you miss, that:
1. If the reliable memory that enables money would have more uses then =
even temporary use of the memory would have utility, therefore value. =
Bitcoin as is, does not have consensus rules to enable reliable =
alternate uses.
2. Finite supply of coins implies a finite memory capacity of Bitcoin. =
Alternate use of the memory requires that units at least temporarily =
become un-fungible, enforced by consensus. Alternate uses would then =
have to compete for units of memory, which would give rise to a price =
paid to those enabling alternate use, even if temoprarily.
3. If giving up control temorarily has a positive price (through 2) and =
return of control is certain (enforced by consenus) then the price paid =
is riskless interest for those giving up temporary control.
4. If a use requires more units of memory then it imposes higher cost to =
use and it since memory units are finite it imposes more severe =
scarcity.
Further certainly subjective remarks:
Although burning and loss is unavoidable and therefore Bitcoin (as is) =
is unsustainable we should design systems that they sustain it as long =
as possible (as is). Therefore a requirement to burn for any of =
unlimited number of uses should be avoided.
We currently perceive borrowed money just as good as (fungible with) any =
other money. This is a consequence that money actually comes into =
existence through someone borrowing it. Money on your account is a loan =
you gave the bank and even paper cash is a loan you gave the central =
bank.
Bitcoin is different as it just is, it is not borrowed into existence. =
Therefore it is not fungible with borrowed version of itself. This =
however does not imply that its borrowed version is worthless as it =
might be worth something if there is a use for it.
