> Etherum allows you to treat digital entities as if they are physical. I.e. it creates scarcity in an otherwise abundant digital universe.
I always hoped I could see a post-scarcity physical world in my lifetime. Now you are telling me that there are people trying to present me with a pre-scarcity digital world? No, thank you. :)
Heh you are actually touching onto something quite interesting and fundamental.
Things that have value are often valuable exactly because they are not abundant but scarce. The scarcer the more valuable.
Post-scarcity is about creating enough fundamentals (ex. food) to everyone, but it's not about removing the value of scarcity for some food that might be extra hard to produce.
Many things only works if they are scarce that does not mean we shouldn't try to achieve post scarcity.
