No one is going to use something that rots away as a currency though. I can understand the argument that bitcoin has properties superior to gold as money, namely that a crypto wallet is more difficult to steal by force and wealth can travel internationally with lower friction but it doesn't have the history of money use that gold does. Bitcoin is a brand with no inherent properties that can't be replicated in a different coin other than the momentum of sentiment
