Thanks for sharing. In the case of gold and diamonds, I could argue demand creates supply. Price goes up to a point that more people can mine profitably, more miners will enter the market. Both have been around for thousands of years and we can still find it. BTC's hard cap is the difference. TCP/IP wasn't useful until things were built to run on top of it. Once that happened, the internet exploded. IMO, BTC is the tcp/ip of the next iteration of "money" just waiting for the next layers .
