>99.9999% of all cryptocurrencies ever made has gone to zero
what stops btc from going to zero? most of these cryptos that have gone to zero were just as "hard" as btc, i.e. they had supply limits, many even decreasing supplies
look on the periodic table however and none of them have gone to zero, including gold
>if the total number of btc in the world increased 100-fold we'd be no wealthier than we are today
>if all btc in existence were wiped out tomorrow we'd be no poorer than we are today
>if the total amount of gold in the world increased 100-fold we'd be far wealthier as gold is a versatile industrial and medicinal metal
>if all gold in existence were wiped out tomorrow we'd be fucked as gold is used in almost all electronic devices in the world
is btc really wealth?
