I doubt Zimbabwe Dollar paper is worth millions, but OK...

I'll check the value of the Reichsmark, but again, I suspect the market is limited.

Network going down: in theory you could keep it up with a Raspberry Pie, so I suppose somebody will. Although I don't know if all the mining hardware out there would make it nonviable (as anybody could start a mining attack with such mining hardware, against a Pie).

As for proving Bitcoin isn't a scam: we don't need the inventor or their plans, we have the implementations of it. That can be validated, as much as possible. I'd argue that if it still has flaws, then they weren't because of scamming, but because of technical issues nobody could foresee.

Edit: they seem to be selling notes of one billion Reichsmark for 1€ on ebay (here in Germany). Not really worth the effort.

1€ is an infinitely larger amount for an old "worthless" bit of paper than anyone will pay for any amount of Bitcoin when the network collapses.

I don't mean it "goes offline", I mean that the blockchain is compromised by a 51% attack or something worse and the whole thing can't be trusted, so nobody cares about it at all.
