It's value easily eroded by High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) so none on times of war, whereas the Internet was created to be resilient even in war, and I see value in the "cloud" running on diffuse infrastructure instead of corporate infrastructure.
EDIT: The global Internet I mean. Assuming HEMP doesn't hit everywhere at once, just the USA, for (unfortunate) example.
You are forgetting space satellites running Bitcoin nodes and nodes running behind EMP-Shielded building.
Right, I do concede the point. I still see no value in artificial scarcity however!
What, you don't have backup nodes in a rad-hardened cabinet under your house?
