Only if you lend it.

Money sitting around under a mattress tends to lose value due to inflation.

Actual specie, dug out of the ground, tends to hold its value, relatively speaking. Sure, their may be shocks like discovering a whole continent made of gold but those are pretty rare.

Bitcoin, who knows? It simply hasn’t been around long enough for its place on the money pyramid to be found.
