One thing that maybe differentiates it in the way you’re defining it: you can really see it. Gold jewelry, trinkets have social significance, and have for quite a long time. Crowns, regal adornments, religious altars, etc. are all ostentatious displays of gold, and whatever power structure exists to show it off. The counterpoint to this Is maybe that all of the US gold is housed in secret? Most nations don’t actually display gold wealth in the ‘traditional’ way? These aren’t rhetorical questions, I’m genuinely curious if I’m seeing this from a sound point-of-view. Nobody’s wearing bitcoin crowns or sitting on bitcoin thrones. Is there an equivalent? Does it even matter?
