Yup, when it comes to fiat currency. Once we went off the gold standard it basically become "funny money" and it's been used that way ever since.
Since we can never go back to that (and it had its limitations for sure), crypto is the best alternative that currently exists.
or you could get gold directly, and then you wouldnt have to worry about a fiat intermediary
I may or may not already have some of that ;-)
