Bitcoin isn't rare of expensive. It's nearly infinitely divisible. The fact that there are 21 million of them is arbitrary. There could be 21,000, 21, or 21 trillion, or and it would be the same. What you mean is that it's unevenly distributed. The first miners get the lion's share of the bitcoin. I guess you're counting on being early to the party?

I was early too. I am one of the 21 million to have a bitcoin -- in fact I had more than ten. They have never been useful to me apart from helping me break laws. I'm glad to have gotten rid of them.
