It's just numbers. You can store funds on a 1¢ flash drive or calculator!

That actually got me interested on if it would be possible to get the blockchain encoded and printed on paper (and bound as a book of course). https://ollydbg.de/Paperbak/ can do 0.5 megabytes on a sheet of A4, so 1MB if you double side it. The current size of the Bitcoin blockchain is ~400 gigabytes, so only 800,000 sheets of paper! Growing at around 1.5 sheets an hour forever.
