Silly or not ....BTC allows WEALTH TO BE HELD IN VALUE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN, rather than thru a bank or institution and regulated
thus sure, like paper money, it is a SOCIAL construct determining worth and value, by those involved who HODL and the only 21 million coin cap
this social construct, like money backed, that is working also by banks etc, just seems to be working quite well OUTSIDE of any system of elite control
and BTC is driving the previous status quo NUTS as a result
