I don’t really care though, because they don’t guarantee that no additional dollars are going to enter circulation, we know they well, and the balance of my bank account is insured by the FDIC. If there’s any counterfeiting going on, that’s going to get investigated by the Secret Service and the FBI. If anyone makes more bitcoin, holders just all lose because decentralization. It’s not meant to be a silly argument, it’s meant to be a concrete demonstration of the difference in value between traditional currencies and crypto currencies.

You also don't know if your brick and mortar bank has been hacked. It's a silly argument.
