Absolutely agree. Some people still don't realize the difference between a cryptocoin that has no intrinsic value, and a real currency which will always be used for at least two things :
- pay the salaries of state workers
- pay your tax
It may not look like much, but it's the reason why a regular currency is always worth at least something : some people are legally bound to using it.

- jcbrand 4y agowhy a regular currency is always worth at least something There are many fiat currencies that went to zero and no longer exist. Most recently is the Zimbabwe dollar which ceased to exist some years ago and the country had to start using USD and ZAR. pay the salaries of state workers When the fiat currency collapses like in Zimbabwe, state workers no longer accept salaries in the currency and demand something else.
