I don\u2019t think that\u2019s right.Crypto is way more liquid than a collectible. It would also be way easier to use cryptocurrency as medium of exchange than collectibles.Also, this suggestion that cryptos \u2014 like Bitcoin \u2014 are just collectibles doesn\u2019t explain the fact that you can buy Bitcoin collectibles like physical coins, but we wouldn\u2019t say those are actual Bitcoin. It\u2019s manifestly unconvincing. It would be like saying that Gold is a collectible like Beanie Babies (or collectible bubble) because it can get spectacularly overvalued. Again, this is unpersuasive. Gold is not a collectible, it\u2019s a commodity. By the same token, Bitcoin and alt-coins are currencies, not collectibles.Lots of things hold value, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily make them a collectible. Commodities and real estate hold value, but they aren\u2019t collectibles.Now it\u2019s true that Bitcoin and collectibles are both alternative assets. But to suggest that this would mean, Bitcoin=collectible, would be like saying that since Coke and Pepsi are both sodas, therefore, Coke=Pepsi. That\u2019s not just false, but it\u2019s fallacious reasoning as well!But even if we granted for the sake of argument that Bitcoin is a collectible, it would be fallacious to conclude that it is merely\/only a collectible.Photo by Mick Haupt on Unsplash<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NoSome have said that cryptocurrency is more like a collectible akin to baseball cards.
