That's going to be pretty hard to do when all bitcoins have a combined "worth" of 92B.
Bitcoin has no intrinsic value in that it only exists due to artificial demand, e.g. if someone invented a better digital currency, Bitcoin's demand would evaporate and all BTC's would be worthless. It's nothing like Gold which is one of the most useful precious metals with usages beyond a storage of value.
- mcpeepants 7y agoMany would argue that a "better" digital currency has already been created, yet Bitcoin remains at the top. I don't have much in the way of opinions here it's just an interesting aspect of what makes a digital currency more or less valuable (that is, it doesn't _seem_ to be how much better the tech is)
