Bitcoin however could potentially become a new form of asset such as Gold or Silver as we move forward into a more digital world. I can see that happening, we have a limited amount of gold and silver which is how we are able to value it day-day. The price of gold and silver is adjust by trades and how much has been added to the system. Bitcoin has a limit of 21 million coins that can be mined in it's entirely not including the holding of the bitcoin creators who could release more into the market to stop it from stalling.
