"This also plays into technological advances that need to happen for Bitcoin to be more valuable"

Well, apart from other issues, this is like saying "advances in the spoon design have to happen". The spoon is what it is. BTC cannot technologically advance. But, such remarks are expected even from people who know the technology. Either you believe in spoons evolving or you know that any change means it's not a spoon any more.

I call the "Crypto-Logic".
