It's surprising to me how many people don't understand that a fixed money supply can't last and there's a reason every gold standard ever has failed. But this is why I say Bitcoin is a store of value for the digital world. It will always be a good place to park your digital cash when things get hairy or you're not sure what else to do but it will never be anything more than that.
Re: means of production. I think as automation in the physical world becomes better and our physical needs are replaced by digital means, the things we fight over now like food and housing will become owned by governments and handed out "for free". They will become less culturally important except as a show of wealth for the few that can afford what becomes scarce.
The pace of the expansion of value in the digital realm however will be impossible to keep up with in the physical realm so people spending their time earning and investing outside of it will fall behind. Quickly. Investing and earning in the digital realm vs the physical will become like when doctors in Cuba start driving cabs because driving around the middle class tourists pays substantially more than being a doctor to the poor.
