      You're fundamentally not seeing what backs bitcoin - it's the network and the millions of MW/h it consumes that back up the scheme. All money is more or less a proxy for energy (food, fuel, heat, etc), and bitcoin is the least abstracted.

      That's not useful energy. If I had a certificate that gave me the right to use 100MJ of energy from the local power plant, that would be worth something. Bitcoin just shows me that someone did calculations in the past.

      It's useful because you need massive amounts of energy to attack the network, without the need for a centralized arbiter that can be compromised. (This is why Eth is worthless, because of Vitalik bending over to fork the chain whenever a whale gets robbed)

      But why should I care whether the chain is forked or not?

      It's just a trading token, a dollar doesn't have value either. Hell, gold only has value because it's durable and rare and people like it, it's not like gold has any particularly useful properties when viewed in the context of its rareness. All money is shared delusion.

      Gold is both useful and pretty. The dollar is required by law and backed with force.

      What is gold useful for aside from high integration electronics (something that didn't show up till the 1950s) and ornamentation? Aluminum is a far more generally useful material. Gold's value is not based on utility.

      Copper similarly so. Copper has a really weird (and electrochemically useful) electron configuration. Its utility as a conductor coupled with its relatively high availability beats gold in most work-horse situations, but as you mentioned, gold is fucking magic in electronics.

      Gold has some properties that are nice like it basically never corrodes, but iirc silver has a slight edge over it in electronic properties. Downside with silver is it tarnishes, so it's not used as much as might be expected.

      Not corroding is extremely useful

          Depends on the application. With the rarity/cost/mass of gold you usually don't need corrosion resistance _that_ badly, and a conformal coating will get you just as far for a tiny fraction of the cost.

          And there are other noble metals, some of which are plentiful enough to exploit in asteroids, which share that characteristic. Should we all ever stop arguing about contrivances and things that cannot be and finally meet our destiny in the stars. 👍

          Having enough gold around that it is useful as a general purpose material would be great. Imagine solid gold home wiring that doesn't work harden like copper and never oxidizes! Granted, humping around spools of the stuff would suck cuz it's more than twice as dense as copper...

          Corrosion resistance, even in space, is ideal. For starters, we have to carry our own atmosphere with us, which is highly damaging to other conductors. Conducting electricity speeds up the process. And space, contrary to popular belief, is not a perfect vacuum.

          Also some wee-wee is gonna get out of the wee-wee collection system and float around, and that stuff corrodes copper quite well.
