I spent Thanksgiving looking through my Star Wars cards that I collected when i was a kid. Who would have thought they would hold any value?...well not all of them...just one or two but that is all it takes.

BTC (and NFTs) replaces that need to have physical things (evolution occuring), but one can still own something unique, rare, desirable, tradeable, experiential, and personal....and it is a hell of a lot easier to move and store all those digital assets.

Yes. Another way to frame this is that collectibles are being bid up as stores of value. People pay record prices for vintage cars, watches, baseball cards and Bitcoin because they believe these objects will hold their value better than fiat currency.

But collectibles require collectors. Bitcoin is neither unique (all Bitcoin or essentially identical) nor something you can put in a display case or museum. Which makes them more pure speculation.
