Lets do a "stress test" with some forms of money..
-Light a match under a fiat dollar bill. What happens? Burns away your left with a dirty pile of ash.
-Now light a match under a $1 silver eagle. What happens? It gets hot - still there.
-Now try lighting a match under a bitcoin. What happens? Can't do it unless you were foolish enough to burn your only copy of a paper wallet :)
-I think after this we can conclude there are some major parallels to the dollars physical weakness and the dollars actual value.
Things are heating up friends don't get BURNT!!!!!
