What does that even mean?

Was your $400 + 400 BTC model supposed to be an argument from first principles, or was it supposed to be a reference to some empirical evidence?

I don't think you're being as intellectually honest in this thread as you could be.

Ok, that was a cheap shot, I agree.

I am, however, yet to see a single article talking about USD being quoted in bitcoin. Just like I do not see any articles of USD being quoted in Samsung TVs. I do see bitcoin being quoted in USD. I see USD being quoted in Euros and I see Euros being quoted in USD.

That's why Sansung TVs and BTCs are not currency while USD and Euros are. So BTC is asset. Assets in an non-liquid markets are prone to enormous bubbles.
