Peter Schiff : Why do you guys have such a problem understanding
divisibility? Dividing bitcoins is not the same as dividing gold. When
gold is divided, the smaller coins have less gold then the original. So
the intrinsic value of each coin is reduced. No intrinsic value is
lost when bitcoins are divided, as there is no intrinsic value to begin
with. Yes, the full coin is valued at the sum of its parts, but that is
not my point. Its the total potential supply of coins that counts.
Think about it this way. Bitcoins are sold 10 million to the pack,
which each buyer can then break apart into individual coins. The total
limit on 10 million packages is 21 million. Do not think of one bidcoin
as the 10 million dollar package. Think of that package as a 10 million
bitcoin bill. When you think about it that way, how scarce are bit
coins?
