I agree with the OP (it's fake and gay) and with you (we may be left without a chair when the music stops). But I also think that there is a big risk of every decentralized cryptocurrency entirely breaking down when the internet is split apart (undersea cables cut, etc.). There will be 3-5 versions of each. Nomads will be able to exploit this by spending theirs in every place, but that will further debase them. However... Starlink might prove to be the missing link (no pun intended) in preventing this scenario.
