I must admit, I have trouble making any sense of your argument. Are you saying it is not possible to store value? If so, I would disagree. If you wish to go back to Roman times, perhaps look at the history of Roman coinage. One way people used to combat the Roman currency devaluation was to hoard the older coins. Were you to sumble upon a chest of gold from Roman times, you would be rich today, just as the person that buried it. Gold has evidently maintained value over thousands of years, whereas currency from 100 years ago has lost 99% of its purchasing power. In the long term, we are all dead.
