Well, in this context artificial is often meant to describe scarcity
which is the result of a decision. I would probably adapt that
definition for my purposes, to say a decision made by an identifiable
mint (a whole decision by a group or a decision partially weighted in
favor of any group) on behalf of people with this credit (in this
case, credit for having that address)... the key aspect being
artificial meaning (for me atleast) the scarcity was decided for
someone else.

Better defining addresses in this case, bitcoin addresses are more
like identities (I like the term Sybil used as a noun, in this case)
rather than addresses, because we don't go to them so much as we
simply talk (or send messages) to them.

_

Addresses are only intrinsically as scarce as physical locations they
can point to physical location (which I would prefer to use the term
Sybil [or at least "identity"] to describe anything which would
Normally be described as an address which Doesn't point to physical
location). Additionally they can be considered scarce in that it is
unsustainable to deliver messages to individual possessors of
addresses, whom don't help the delivery of messages (atleast, as an
abstract concept). So, ultimately, (at the very least) the degree of
viability of addresses needs to be limited for practical reasons. Some
might associate the suggestion of limiting this viability to
possessors of addresses who facilitate the delivery delivery of
messages to a higher degree than they strain the delivery of messages
{(especially [or particularly, if you will] with the volume of
messages-to-be-delivered-added), with "capitalism". I would like to
emphasize that this is not a concept of either "capitalism" or
"socialism" (or any their like currently being formed outside of the
occident) , (both of which rely on the fairly novel social construct
of a "stock" and/or banking/"monetary fund"-management)} but-rather
simple self-sustainability. Of course, if at a given point the
collective infrastructure {(or atleast relevant parts thereof) ,
(with-which many people have agreed is acceptable for delivering
messages according to a system of determining which messages are given
the most priority that they have agreed is acceptable)} is
under-strained (or under-utilized, if you will) according to it's
maximum potential for helping people communicate, it should probably
begin to deliver messages "gratis" or simply out of the goodness of
doing so........ which is something a noob can plainly see the bitcoin
protocol tried to do by rewarding it's bitcoin miners, but failed to
realize: only sentient beings can effectively measure the potential
meaning to be had in helping another sentient being or the so-termed
"goodness" in doing so; that No protocol can account for what it's
like to help someone specific or every being one can; that It should
be up to every individual exactly who they help or what kind of Sybils
they help or to what degree and for what purpose. We are fundamentally
human, and we must remember our value is in our decision.
