Scarcity doesn't create value. A copy of my personal memoir is extremely scarce, yet the value is zero. Further, bitcoin only has the illusion of scarcity, and clearly that's enough, but as was demonstrated by BCH, the supply of coins can be trivially increased. Enthusiasts will argue "BCH is not BTC, they're two separate currencies", but this is missing the point that "crypo-tokens" are an unlimited resource that is artificially limited through a consensus that can change at any time.
