That's sort of my point. If Bitcoin and gold lose all financial value, at least with gold you have a heavy rock and to most humans, visually appealing. You can do something with that - build a house with enough of it, make jewelry out of it, forge weapons (would they be any good?)

You can't do anything with Bitcoin if is exchanging at $0 USD.

A decentralized, distributed ledger has value as well.

Ethereum is a better example, but on the flip-side so is steel.
