Yes, of course.

The notion of making a currency based on a precious metal has one advantage only: fixed supply. And this is not much of an advantage.

As far as currencies go, if you want such a currency, then based one off of Gold, not BTC.

If you want a store of value, that's easy - just buy gold if that's what you want.

If you don't trust the Central Bank wherever you are, the don't hold that currency. Buy other currencies, real estate, commodities etc.

There's no point in BTC.
