    That thing sounds like it needs a functioning internet and communications system. If society collapses I wouldn’t bet on the blockchain being usable.

      And gold? A huge percentage of which people hold non-physically?

      It’s almost like you can come up with arguments that NOTHING is safe without a functioning internet and communications system.

      So…what’s the difference here?

        I have gold and can transport it. We traded gold before we had an international banking structure. We don’t need electricity or the internet for the trade in gold.

        Crypto has no utility. It cannot be transported as it isn’t a physical asset. It cannot be used for any other purpose eg you can’t make a hat out of BTC or ETH. Gold and crypto are not the same when it comes to their usability as a currency.
