I'm going to link this article now every time somebody tells me paper money is safer than Bitcoins
This article is not about paper money. Its about money on a bank account.
Paper money is much safer.
Paper money is safer than bank account money, but do not means it is safe. Money can be stolen and damaged(burned, soaked, etc). I remember a notice about someone that saved 60k on cash at home, only to see more than half of that robbed by parents that visited their home. There are some story about saving's confiscations here, so I don't trust my money to be on cash or in bank anymore.
I remembered the episode of Futurama where he discovers that 1.000 years after the pennies left over in savings worth billions.
If it was in Australia he would be robbed!
In real world, billions would be equivalent to pennies in 1000 years. Just see some wild west movies, and the prices of things. A high paid federal judge's salary was about $200 dollars in the 19th's.
But I remember a story about someone that found some 1000's of bitcoins buried in a forgotten wallet. If they have been forgotten in a bank, they would have been robbed for sure.
