But they are fictional though. a cow isn’t fictional it’s real, silver isn’t fictional it’s real.. obviously if the currencies collapsed you wouldn’t be able to use bitcoins or pounds to buy silver anymore you’d use something else.
what i’m trying to say is money is fictional…. it does nothing itself it’s just we’ve put a value to it, but silver is real, it’s uses are real and it’s traded in the same way as money.
what would you rather have if money lost all value. 2 billion dollar notes or 2 billion dollars worth of silver…
btw pm me, where in the world currently are you, we haven’t spoken for awhile. i miss you
Hmmm I see what your saying I guess. Though I’d argue it’s not ‘fictional’ just allot harder to ‘directly’ exchange for something else. If THE zombie apocalypse came upon us, silver wouldn’t really have much worth now would it, bitcoin would be worthless too at that point. Much rather have a cow myself then :P.
Had an interesting conversation with someone lastnight about bitcoin though and they begged the question what if someone gained control/more than 51% of this ‘global’ currency. They could literally control the whole world. Looking back in history, it’s hard to argue against this possibility..
