You can make that argument in 5000 years. As of today, it's still equivalent to MtG cards.
So what you're saying is we need a strategic MtG card reserve.
I heard there are about 70 Black Lotuses missing. Some people think thatβs what the drones over New Jersey are looking for.
A lot of countries keep a reserve of Euros, which is a fiat currency not tied to a single country and only came into being about 25 years ago.
Currency is like Tinkerbell, it only lives through belief in it. Right now, enough people believe in Bitcoin being a currency and that belief doesn't seem to be going away as long as the Internet still exists.
