This is obviously true now.
But besides being government issued, tokens and the currency you talk about are both "make believe".
I mean, people valued stamps, paintings, and tulips rather high too.
I don't know how things will go, but at least these tokens seem to get quite some gobal interest lately.
- twalla 5y agoThey're both "make believe" in the sense that they're abstractions to move value around - except if you want a road or a hospital built, you use government currency, if you want to not get thrown in jail, you pay your taxes in government currency, both of those examples seem pretty not-make-believe to me.
