Not sure what you mean by 'assuming a Bitcoin world'. I believe that today we live as much in a Bitcoin world as in a Gold or Dollar world.

That having said, increasing Bitcoin prices is not necessarilly what is going to happen. Yes, the number of Bitcoins is finite and will gradually decline, but that does not necessarilly mean that the price of BTC has to go up. The price of BTC is driven by the value people assign to it. There is no underlying intrinsic value. Although the fact that the number of coins will decrease over time may increasing the likelihood of prices rising with time, this is by no means certain.
