The problem is that they get you in the long run when inflation erodes away the money you would have saved. There needs to be some sort of stable way of transferring that value into a medium that can retain it. I don't think anything exists that can satisfy this requirement. Everything i've seen (Bitcoin, gold, etc.) has not cut the mustard.
