When it comes to increasingly long timeframes, anything digital is simply no competition to physical value, no matter what anyone wants to tell you otherwise (i.e. "as good as gold").
That's the advantage of being an older generation, over time you learned what value really means.
+1000 Great post.
That's only because physicalness has implied scarcity. If tomorrow FTL space travel were invented and super cheap and we discovered a million earths rich in resources and suddenly physicality was as cheap and plentiful as digital things, then the "real value" of being physical would diminish almost completely.
