There are such incredible similarities between gold and crypto, I doubt he/ they didn't plan at least some of this deliberately - 21 million BTC but down to 8 decimals, scarce enough but not too scarce, a declining mining rate with increasing difficulty, right down to the 'mythology' - gold has that too, so does BTC.
It all may be coincidence of course, but if it is design it's even more clever than just the pure cryptography.

Oh yes, whoever designed Bitcoin had a firm understanding of market psychology and game theory, that's for sure.
