Yeah, I was wondering the same thing!

[BarryFL]

There are a lot of people that think they own gold, too. Most have only seen the certificate that states they do.

[Quillback]

Going to be interesting to see what, if any, effect it has on Bitcoin's value.

Yeah but there is actual gold. You can physically touch it. Bitcoin is as real as a unicorn

[Riccochet]

You can buy physical bitcoins. They're address encoded physical coins that are self funded. Meaning you buy the coin, unlock the address and transfer bitcoin to it. Those bitcoin are essentially now in "cold storage".

I've never gone to the bank to ask to see my physical money that's in my account. I own stocks according to my electronics record on my online account, but I've never seen any physical evidence that I really own stock. It's not just crypto that's digital.

This

This is so common in the bit coin world these days it has a name, Exit Scam. People raising a bunch of money then disappearing, some have even faked their death. A pretty large situation went down in Canada semi recently too with the owner of the largest Bitcoin exchange in their country. I don’t think it was 3.6 billion though. Couple hundred million if I remember correctly.

The difference is Crypto is not treated as an equal form of currency. Can't buy groceries, a house, boat, fishing tackle, etc. with Crypto. World banks and governments set currencies, they don't want the status quo to be challenged, that's why I don't think Crypto will ever be legit, or on the same playing field with the dollar.

A couple countries have already adopted Bitcoin as a currency, or their official currency. A lot of retailers accept crypto. It's a lot more accepted than you think.

A couple of countries Might! But I doubt that every place of business within those couple of countries do

One world currency is coming, it's happening incrementally in baby steps but it's happening.
