There's a limited amount of bitcoin to go around.

  Wouldn't that make the value of a token rise, as there is demand but no supply?

    Yes, that is what deflation is, is it not? More goods for the same amount of currency?

      You're right, my bad.

  There are other cryptocurrencies aside from Bitcoin, even if Bitcoin is not able to be a true currency (e.g. fungibility issue). See Monero. It has a tail emission.

    Every cryptocurrency based on Bitcoin mechanics has the same problems as Bitcoin. That, as you rightly pointed out, does not discount other cryptocurrencies without these issues. I was aiming solely at Bitcoin (and similar cryptocurrencies).
