    The hoarders want a hoard. Let them have one. Then hoarders take a bath, not the rest of us.

    If Bitcoin doesn't take your fancy there are plenty of others - all of which promise a finite money supply individually. Collectively that is a fallacy of composition of course, but you can't tell 'em.
