for me, the opportunity for scarcity (longevity) lies in the algorithm. IF it is as elegant as they say it is, and it's all open-source, then it could in fact be just like gold, a 1 of a kind element and will withstand the test of time and competition. i was reading elsewhere though that some believe there should be more than 1 cryptocurrency in circulation also.
