Your question and follow up comments imply, that answer to the question discredits Bitcoin somehow.

I am telling you whatever answer to your own question you will come up with in regards to Bitcoin, the same reasoning will be applicable to US dollar, therefore it should discredit US dollar in the same way, which basically makes the whole point (whatever that is) absurd.

I hear what you are saying now. I had trouble because I don't agree that hoarding Bitcoin and hoarding dollars ate the same. What if two people own all the Bitcoin? How does Bitcoin obtain it's value? I'm trying to understand it, not advocate an opinion.
