All money is Monopoly money because all money is just an arbitrary token in an arbitrary game.
Bitcoin combines money, the wrongest thing in the world, with software, the easiest thing in the world to get wrong.

From the rules of Monopoly:
The Bank "never goes broke." If the Bank runs out of money, the Banker may issue as much as needed by writing on any ordinary paper.
Which would you prefer: 1,000 bitcoin or a scrap of paper from a Banker with '$10,000' scribbled on it ?

Dollars are worth less than the Monopoly money, because they are issued as debt. At least in the
game
, you can play
honestly
