  1. Bitcoin's and many other crypto's supply is finite also

  2. Bitcoin's distribution will eventually stop creating new coins.

  3. Extracting and processing crypto is costly and time consuming as well.

  4. Crypto is also divisible, immutable, verifiable (verify that actual "work" was accomplished), "malleable" (though malleability in metals as a currency is only important for "divisibility", or paying with a fraction of a gold piece/bitcoin).

It meets all the criteria of tangible currency, just in digital mathematical representation.

There are antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial properties to some metals, others are good for conductivity, and their slow degradation helps for a currency, but our digital marketplace moves so fast now, we need money that can keep up.

Yes, yes it does. Never said it didn't. I was just pointing out why gold was valuable, as the top comment I replied to did not seem to consider it "solid".

Definitely, I only meant to be additive. You had a great comment.
